As environmental challenges intensify, industries across the globe must accelerate their shift towards sustainable practices. One sector playing a critical role in this transition is the plastics and composites industry. However, a key barrier to progress is the scarcity of reliable, up-to-date life cycle data specific to plastics.   Enter the IPC Centre Technique Industriel de la Plasturgie et des Composites, an organization focused on creating high-quality, sector-specific datasets to support the plastics sector's sustainability efforts. Through their collaboration with ecoinvent, IPC is making vital life cycle inventory (LCI) data more accessible and transparent, empowering companies to conduct more accurate Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) and adopt sustainable materials and practices.   In our latest blog interview, IPC’s Timothée HARVEY and Catherine Colin discuss how this partnership with ecoinvent is helping to bring the industry closer to a circular economy, ensuring better decision-making across the plastics and composites sectors.   ⇢ Read the full interview: https://lnkd.in/evDnDCZf   #IPC #ecoinvent #ecoinventdatabase #sustainability #plastics #composites #circulareconomy #LifeCycleAssessment #environmentalimpact

The plastics recycling sector is at a turning point, with innovative technologies and reliable data shaping the path toward sustainability. At the forefront of this transformation is Mura Technology, whose Hydro-PRT® technology is redefining the possibilities of plastic recycling by turning hard-to-recycle plastics into high-quality, fossil-replacement hydrocarbons.   A key piece of this innovation puzzle? Trustworthy, transparent data.   In our latest blog post, we interview Dr. Geoff Brighty, Head of Sustainability and R&D at Mura, to explore how their collaboration with ecoinvent supports the integrity of their advanced recycling processes. By integrating ecoinvent’s independently verified datasets into their Life Cycle Assessments, Mura is building confidence in their technology while driving the transition to a circular economy.   This partnership exemplifies how data-driven insights can empower groundbreaking solutions to the global plastic waste crisis.   Learn more about how Mura Technology and ecoinvent are setting new benchmarks for transparency and sustainability.   ⇢ Read the full interview: https://lnkd.in/ew-9ckxN   #MuraTechnology #ecoinvent #ecoinventdatabase #sustainability #LCA #LifeCycleAssessment #plastic #circulareconomy #packaging #EfW #plasticsrecycling #advancedrecycling #plasticrecycling #massbalance #resourceefficiency #plasticsolutions #chemicalengineering #climatechange
