❗ Not a joke❗ 💭 #Picturethis: a local coffee shop collects all its used coffee grounds ☕ and instead of throwing them away, they are sent to a nearby #construction company to be mixed into #materials for building stronger, #ecofriendly roads. That’s how #industrialsymbiosis works! ♻ 🚀 At SYMBA EU Project we are helping #businesses to #connect in new ways to swap #waste for #resources, turning one company’s “trash” into another’s #treasure. 💰✨ It’s a win-win!💡 ✔️ Reduced #environmentalimpact ✔️ Increased resource #efficiency ✔️ Creation of a #circulareconomy 👀 You can make #yourpart! 👉 As the future is #collaborative, join our #journey by making small changes in your #dailyactions: you can start from keeping materials in use for as long as possible! 💪 🌎 Let’s build a #future where waste becomes an #opportunity❗ #SYMBAeu #IndustrialSymbiosis  #CircularEconomy #GreenInnovation #TurnWasteIntoGold #TWIG ENCO Engineering and Consulting srl || CIRCE - Centro Tecnológico || Centexbel || Climate-KIC || Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant || AIMPLAS · Technological Institute of Plastics || Novamont || Cetaqua - Water Technology Centre || ICLEI

🚀 𝐄𝐱𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐒𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐬! 🌱 At the 19th Netherlands Process Technology Symposium (NPS 19), Rima Mahmoud and Qian Zhou, researchers at MNEXT, presented their latest findings in extracting valuable compounds from cashew nutshells. These findings within the Totally Nuts project bring us closer to creating biobased, circular materials from what was once considered waste. By isolating anacardic acid and cardanol, we're unlocking new possibilities for sustainable, high-performance thermoset resins, with potential applications beyond the cashew industry such as pharmaceuticals and agriculture. 🌍 This project shows how we can turn industrial by-products into valuable resources. Stay tuned for more updates! #Sustainability #CircularEconomy #BiobasedMaterials #Innovation #ProcessTechnology #TotallyNuts #CashewShells #GreenTech

A new proposal from the EU Commission was announced on the 20th of March 2024, which stated that the organisation will be introducing a line of targeted actions. These actions will be implemented with the intention of encouraging and aiding biotechnology and biomanufacturing within the EU. This new proposal was developed by the Communication on Building the future with nature and the actions that have been suggested have been developed with the idea of tackling the challenges, complications and barriers that have been identified within this area.  The article below discusses the new measures which have been put in place by the EU, in order to help their industries and businesses become greener. The effort that is being applied will have significant benefits, especially to the future development of greener manufacturing processes.

On May 15-16th 2024, you have the chance to network with Guillermo Pozo Zamora from TECNALIA Research & Innovation! He will visit and introduce the #HorizonEU #WaterProofProject at IFAT Munich 2024, the largest international trade fair for water, wastewater, recycling, and municipal technology sectors. Within WaterProof, TECNALIA is studying #FormicAcid products derived from recycled CO₂, their circularity in the value chain, and their validation in synthesising acidic deep eutectic solvents (ADES) for metal recovery from waste streams. WaterProof (urban Waste and water Treatment Emission Reduction by utilizing CO2 for the PROduction Of Formate derived chemicals) aims at closing the waste(water) carbon loop by creating a novel biorefinery concept converting CO2 emissions from urban waste treatment facilities into valuable green consumer-products. The objective is a technology resulting in a GHG reduction based on CO2 utilization, replacement of fossil feedstock and industrial electrification. #Defossilisation #CO2Capture #CCU #WasterWater Avantium Coatema Coating Machinery GmbH Centro de Ciencia y Tecnología de Antioquia - CTA ecover + method | Europe Funditec HVC IZES gGmbH Hlynur Arsaelsson Waternet Innovatie

This week on #FLEXIWednesday, we’re highlighting the #environmental #benefits of biotechnological production in contrast with traditional methods. With a focus on reducing #waste, minimizing #emissions, and optimizing resource use, #FLEXIZYME is leading the way toward a more #sustainable #future. Reduced Greenhouse Gas Emissions 🌱: biotechnological processes operate under mild conditions, reducing both energy demand and GHG emissions. At FLEXIZYME, we are committed to cutting emissions by at least 30% compared to conventional production. Less Toxic Waste and By-products 🚯: biotechnological processes use natural or engineered enzymes that are biodegradable and non-toxic, leading to safer by-products and lower waste generation. This aligns with our goal to reduce production waste by 40%. Resource Efficiency and Waste Valorization 🔄: biotechnological production at FLEXIZYME utilizes renewable resources, including fat and protein-rich residues. Lower Energy Consumption ⚡: biotechnological methods operate at ambient temperatures and pressures, consuming far less energy than traditional high-temperature, high-pressure processes. The #environmental #impact of production processes is crucial as industries aim for greener and cleaner solutions. FLEXIZYME’s biotechnological approach not only reduces emissions and waste but also promotes the use of renewable resources, positioning us as a #leader in sustainable fatty amine production. Together, we’re setting a new standard for responsible and eco-friendly production methods that benefit industries and the environment alike. 🌍 This project has received funding by the Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking (CBE JU) under Grant Agreement No 101157528.
