Our Expert-Talk for you! Watch the teaser to our upcoming interview series: 🎙 Plastic and sustainability - or is it a contradiction? Dr. Herwig Juster, author of the blog findoutaboutplastics.com, and Dirk Moses of Technoform discuss: ·  Are plastics and sustainability a contradiction? .  The industry must respond to sustainability targets but the reality is confusing and unregulated: what can help? ·  Are prejudices against plastics holding back sustainable developments & innovation? Look forward to our video series and --> #Follow so you do not miss out! #interview #polymer #sustainability #plastics #bias #ESG #innovation #polymerengineering

[ PUBLICATION ] The 2024 #Composites #Sustainability #Report is out now! A partnership between JEC Group and The European Composites Industry Association; EuCIA , this year's report presents the latest global initiatives aimed at advancing sustainable design, lifetime extension, and recycling technologies in the composites industry. TECH-FAB Europe contributed an article about its new initiative to develop life cycle assessments #LCA of key technical textiles product families. Written by Federica Rizzo of Owens Corning, chair of the TECH-FAB Europe Sustainability Working Group, and RAPHAEL PLEYNET, secretary general, it explains how the LCA project represents a key step towards the #circularity and sustainability objectives of the European #GreenDeal. The Composites Sustainability Report is available as a special issue of #JEC Composites Magazine 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eBj3bvpz #technicaltextiles #europe #circulareconomy #netzero #policy #investment #competitiveness

A Step Towards Sustainable Battery Recycling. 🔋♻️ 📅On October 29th and 30th , the Battery Direct Recycling Conference organized by Fraunhofer Institute for Silicate Research ISC will take place in Würzburg.   We’re especially excited about the presentation by our colleague Frauke Hänel, Research & Innovation Project Manager at iPoint, titled "Exchange and Integration of Carbon Footprint Data in a Digital Battery Passport: A Step Towards Sustainable Battery Recycling." 🔜 Her presentation will explore how integrating carbon footprint data into a digital battery passport supports sustainable battery recycling. By making environmental data accessible, the passport helps track and reduce a battery's impact throughout its lifecycle, promoting greener practices across the industry. 🌱 “The goal of the conference is to strengthen the direct recycling community and collectively unlock the potential to contribute to a more sustainable and economically viable battery ecosystem,” says Fraunhofer ISC. 💬 Whether you're an industry professional or just curious about the topic, this is an event you won't want to miss.  And don’t forget to catch Frauke’s presentation on the 29th at 2:30 PM! ⏰ For more information and registration details, click the link in the comments! 👇 #CarbonFootprint #BatteryPassport #recycling 

The Critical Raw Materials Act has set an extremely ambitious goal: by 2030, at least 25% of Europe's annual consumption of critical and strategic raw materials should come from domestic recycling.     Our recent Raw Materials Summit attracted some of the industry’s leaders to the stage to discuss the realities behind this ambition. Making all products recycle-ready is the focus now, driving the vast amount of innovation needed to operate the most complex and sophisticated recycling technologies, keeping carbon emissions at a minimum, and, above all, making our business models viable.   Today, EIT RawMaterials continues to fly the flag for recycling at the E-Waste World Conference & Expo in Frankfurt, one of Europe’s leading events for electronics recycling.    If you're here, feel free to stop by and say hello at Booth D30.   #CriticalRawMaterials #Recycling #CRMA #Decarbonisation #SustainableRecycling

I'm looking forward to watching this video! One question I hope will be addressed is: How do NX Replast™ and NX CONSER™ Duetto contribute differently to solving the plastic emergency, and what are the challenges in implementing these technologies on a global scale?

Interested in #biopolymers and #machinelearning? Then you should keep an eye on this #TNO project! Using algorithms, in this project the team is not only predicting properties based on polymer composition, but will also be able to generate innovative polymers according to your product specifications. This will leave less room for error and decrease development time of novel polymers significantly. You want to be part of this movement? We are looking for collaboration partners from academia & industry. #TNOsustainable #polymers #innovation # machinelearning #datascience

🌍 𝗘𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰: 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗲𝘁 𝘃𝘀. 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀  This year's theme highlights the critical importance of tackling the impacts of plastic pollution on our planet and health. Many of our customers are actively engaged in researching polymers and combating plastic pollution. Today, we invite you to discover a recent paper by researchers from CEA Saclay, who used their Xeuss 3.0 #SAXS system to develop a methodology for assessing the stability of micro and nano plastics in the environment 👉 https://lnkd.in/dAREx7Kk #EarthDay #PlanetvsPlastics #SAXSinthelab #microplastics

🎙️ Coming soon on #NextchemDialogues! Francesca Dignani and Massimo Di Amato will discuss the littering problem and innovative solutions through #plasticrecycling. Two technologies that we will deep dive into: ➡️ NX Replast™, a solution for the fast deployment of new advanced Mechanical Upcycling plants to maximize the valorization of plastic waste into circular r-polymers. ➡️ NX CONSER™ Duetto, a solution for the production of the monomers needed for the production of PBS, a biodegradable plastic. ➡️ Stay tuned for the full episode!
