🎉 CIRCULAR FoodPack – Project Completed! Policy Recommendations for a Circular #Packaging Future 🎉 After 3.5 years of extensive research, the CIRCULAR FoodPack project has been successfully completed! 🚀 Our innovative sorting and recycling technologies have demonstrated how flexible food packaging can become truly circular. Based on our key findings, we now present policy recommendations to drive the transition toward sustainable packaging solutions. 📌 Key Takeaways from our Policy Brief: ✅ Achieved: Over 99% sorting accuracy with Tracer-Based-Sorting, enabling a closed-loop system for flexible food packaging waste ✅ Demonstrated: Pathways for the safe integration of recycled polyethylene (PE PCR) into food packaging ✅ Proven: Recycling flexible packaging can reduce CO₂ emissions by up to five times compared to incineration ✅ Recommended: Clear regulatory support to enhance recycling infrastructure and boost the uptake of high-quality post-consumer recyclates 💡 To make circular food packaging a reality, we need ambitious policies, investments in recycling infrastructure, and industry-wide collaboration. 📖 Read our Policy Brief now: https://lnkd.in/dSBQXT4e   #CircularEconomy #Recycling #SustainablePackaging #Horizon2020 #CIRCULARFoodPack #EUProject   Fraunhofer Institute for Process Engineering and Packaging IVV | Bayerische Forschungsallianz (BayFOR) GmbH | Amcor | Ghent University | IRIS Technology Solutions | Polysecure GmbH | KREYENBORG GmbH & Co.

Today, the European Commission adopted its Clean Industrial Deal and its Action Plan for Affordable Energy. This brings together climate and competitiveness under one overarching growth strategy, for which affordable energy is a key condition. #Research and #innovation are key enablers for the Clean Industrial Deal. Continuing to invest in R&I is indispensable for protecting and promoting clean tech and decarbonised industries in the EU. R&I drives the development, deployment and scale-up of technologies across value chains in critical sectors, such as energy-intensive industries and clean energy. The Clean Industrial Deal will launch a flagship call under the 2026-2027 Horizon Europe Work Programme that will be paramount for ensuring the sustainable competitiveness of our energy-intensive industries and our global leadership. The Clean Industrial Deal confirms the central role of hydrogen in decarbonising our EU energy system, where we can build on 40 years of EU R&I investments, including in hydrogen valleys. The affordable action plan is a further step towards a full EU Energy Union. We will foster innovation, notably through coordination with Member States via the Net-Zero Europe Platform and the Strategic Energy Technology Plan. The Energy Union should also encourage Member States to increase efforts to spend 3% of their GDP on R&I and scale up clean tech innovations. This plan also confirms the support of the Commission to next-generation clean technologies, like nuclear fusion, enhanced geothermal and solid-state batteries.
