🚗 Driving Sustainability in the Automotive Sector with FURIOUS The automotive industry needs solutions that are not only high-performing but also environmentally friendly. Within FURIOUS, we’re tackling: 🔹 Air Filters: Developing nanoparticle membranes using electrospinning technology for cleaner air and odor absorption. 🔹 Window Screens: Replacing conventional PMMA with furan-based polyesters for UV-resistant, transparent alternatives. We’re bringing innovation and sustainability to the road! 🚘 https://lnkd.in/dPTkn62a #FURIOUSProject #AutomotiveInnovation #BioBasedPolymers #SustainableMaterials

📦 FURIOUS: Innovating Sustainable Packaging Biomedical and electronic packaging often relies on non-renewable polymers that are hard to recycle due to contamination and environmental exposure. The FURIOUS project is developing bio-based polymers to address these challenges by: ✔️ Creating compostable and recyclable materials ✔️ Enhancing resistance to humidity, extreme temperatures, and gamma radiation ✔️ Ensuring durability against mechanical and chemical stresses Join us in advancing the next generation of sustainable packaging solutions! 🌍 #FURIOUSProject #SustainablePackaging #BioBasedMaterials #CircularEconomy

A new biorefinery has opened in the Netherlands! Thanks to funding of Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking (CBE JU) and led by Avantium, this biorefinery is the final step and core component of the #PEFerence project. The FDCA biorefinery is going to contribute to the development of a cost-effective, sustainable value chain for PEF production, from raw material sourcing to end products. The PEFerence industrial plant aims to produce 5,000 tonnes of purified FDCA annually using crop residues as feedstock, thereby contributing to developing a circular bioeconomy. https://lnkd.in/dBjf3rqR

🌍 Transitioning our energy systems and addressing climate change are among the greatest challenges of our time. Tackling these issues is possible—but it requires substantial investment. Governments have made strides, allocating an additional $700 billion annually towards these priorities in recent years. However, there’s still a significant funding gap of $1.75 trillion in official finance. 🟢 Progress is being made, but more is needed. Let's continue pushing for increased public spending to close this gap and drive meaningful change.
