Last Saturday, we hosted climate superheroes in disguise - the Dutch National Citizens' Council! They dove deep into the world of releaf®, our fully plant-based #PEF tech that's turning packaging and textiles green (figuratively, of course 😉). Key highlights: 🟩 Interactive discussions on climate impact and recycling challenges (spoiler: it's urgent!) 🟩 Making sustainability affordable (because doing the world good shouldn't break the bank!) 🟩 Insights from our dream team: Bart Langius, Gert-Jan Gruter, Ingrid Goumans, and Math Lambalk This visit is part of a larger initiative where the Citizens' Assembly will present insights to the House of Representatives in June. We're humbled to be part of this green revolution, showing how releaf® is slashing carbon footprints and making circular economy the new black! 💚 Together, we're not just talking about change - we're bottling it, wearing it, and redefining it! 🚀♻️ #Releaf #Sustainability #CircularEconomy #ClimateAction #Avantium Avantium Ingrid van Proosdij Bineke Posthumus

Green Tip #2 ✅ Our oceans are drowning in single-use plastics. 🌊 Opt for innovative, plant-based materials to help reduce waste and minimize your environmental footprint. https://lnkd.in/e8VDZx7x #sustainability #packaging #plastics #circulareconomy #recycling

As the fashion industry navigates a transformative shift towards sustainability, Avantium, in collaboration with the University of Amsterdam, has cracked the code on polycotton recycling ♻️, turning cotton into glucose and preserving polyester for reuse. 🟩 What does this mean for releaf®? This innovation not only tackles textile waste but also strengthens the circular economy for sustainable materials, supporting Avantium's work on #FDCA and releaf®'s #PEF production, bringing us closer to a more circular economy. #CircularInnovation #SustainableMaterials #TextileRecycling ➡️ Read more here: https://lnkd.in/e-f6hsut

The recent debate surrounding plastic vs. paper straws has reignited discussions about our approach to single-use plastics. While paper straws may not be the perfect solution, we must recognize that getting rid of plastics entirely is not the answer. At releaf® by avantium, while we’re not in the business of plastic straws, we are in the business of doing the world right again. Our commitment lies in developing innovative, fully plant-based 🌿 alternatives that can coexist with traditional materials while minimizing environmental impact. As we navigate this complex landscape, it’s essential to explore sustainable options that align with our values and goals, and materials like releaf®'s #PEF offer a sustainable alternative that is fully recyclable ♻️ and derived from renewable resources. ✨ Rather than viewing the straw debate as a simple binary choice, let's engage in a broader conversation about how we can improve the plastics we use. ➡️ www.releaf.bio #Sustainability #PlantBasedPlastics #EcoInnovation #Bioplastics #CircularEconomy #SustainableSolutions #EnvironmentalImpact #GreenPackaging #FutureOfPlastics #Avantium Avantium #releaf

We're on a journey with releaf®'s 100% plant-based polymer, PEF, and we want you to join us! It's not always smooth sailing when you're innovating, so we're sharing our current understanding of best practices with this very simple "dos and don'ts" guide. We understand there are many sustainable solutions out there, and it can be hard to differentiate and decide who to root for, and who to collaborate with. We're eager to learn from your experiences too – so let's build a strong knowledge base together! ➡️ Read about our sustainability pledge here: https://lnkd.in/gZG7VMHd #PEF #Releaf #Avantium Avantium #SustainableSolutions #BiobasedPlastic #GreenCommunity

"Many parties are trying to get either of these things done, but no one has succeeded yet," says Gert-Jan Gruter, Avantium’s Chief Scientist, referring to the challenge of fully recycling polycotton fabrics and producing non-food glucose at scale. Now, in collaboration with leading researchers, we may have finally cracked the code. The Cool Down covers how this breakthrough could change everything, offering a real path to circular fashion and transforming textile waste into valuable resources. Could this be the future of fashion? https://lnkd.in/enqWaiu3 #CircularFashion #NetZero #TextileWaste

Sustainability isn't just about disposal; it's about rethinking production. Traditional plastics weren't designed to be recycled, but releaf®'s PEF is set to transform the plastics industry with sustainable alternatives for bottles, packaging, and textiles. Embodying recycling, renewing, and rethinking principles, releaf® uses #plantbasedfeedstock to relieve our planet from fossil plastics 🌍. This approach aligns with closed-loop manufacturing, keeping materials in use longer. releaf® is designed for circularity ♻️, supporting a transition to a circular economy where sustainable choices become the norm ➡️ www.releaf.bio #Sustainability #releaf #avantium Avantium #DesignedforCircularity #CircularEconomy #FossilFreeFuture #BiobasedPlastic
