♻ Bottle to bottle recycling at Filao in Belgium♻ Currently, PET bottle recycling involves one of the most advanced technologies and infrastructures, allowing for highly efficient recycling processes. One of the facilities capable of recycling PET bottles into flakes and granulates suitable for producing new bottles is FILAO S.A., located in Charleroi, Belgium. With an annual capacity of 40,000 metric tons of bottles this facility demonstrates great capabilities 👍 The comprehensive sorting process starting from the reception of PET bottles from the PMD waste (plastics, metals and drinking cartons) to the creation of flakes and granulates until the production of new PET bottles, can be observed in the video below (available in French and Dutch only). 🇫🇷 French: https://lnkd.in/eWTtvfQJ 🇳🇱 Dutch: https://lnkd.in/eyQUbsXK Bottle to bottle recycling makes this a truly circular material. #PET #PETrecycling #FILAO #circulareconomy #rPET

Mono-materials are indeed becoming a significant trend in the flexible packaging industry. They are part of a movement towards sustainability as they are generally easier to recycle than multi-layered materials, which can be challenging to separate. Mono-materials are designed with a single type of polymer, which makes the recycling process less complex and more efficient. #CHINAPLAS2024♻️ #flexiblepackaging #plasticpackaging #foodpackaging  #biodegradable #recyclable

🌍 Sustainability in Transport During our visit to Transport & Logistics in Gent last month, we gained interesting insights into how the leading companies in the Benelux are dealing with the green transition in transport and logistics. ♻️Sustainability in logistics and transportation was and is a very difficult topic with hidden costs and factual impact on the business and life cycle.🔄 📊 We had the opportunity to listen to Philippe Degraef, director of FEBETRA, in his presentation on the hurdles for the green transition in transportation in Belgium and also in other EU countries. You can read more about it in our article from the comments below.

I think the world is changing, and Amazon is changing with it. With its investment in drastically reduced-emission shipping, Amazon is proving that it's possible to have a thriving business and a healthy planet. #hope #sustainability. #sustainability #hope

Love this 💚! Thank you Kara H. Hurst: “Here’s a great example of important sustainability work that often happens behind the scenes, but is critically important. The Zero Emission Maritime Buyers Alliance (ZEMBA) of which Amazon is a founding member, recently announced the awarding of its first tender during an event in Singapore. What this means is that ZEMBA members will purchase shipping capabilities with drastically reduced greenhouse gas emissions - the equivalent of 1 billion twenty foot shipping-container miles of zero-emission shipping, thanks to Hapag-Lloyd AG’s waste-based bio-methane service.   This is a big leap forward for decarbonizing global shipping, and we hope it opens up more market opportunities for the next generation of sustainable fuels and technologies.” The Aspen Institute Zero Emission Maritime Buyers Alliance (ZEMBA) Ingrid Irigoyen #shipping #maritime #sustainablefuel #biomethane #zeroemissions ⚓ 🚢 🌎 I’m cheering in Antioch, California, Andy Heppelle 🍁 #CapgeminiASE Capgemini Invent , Capgemini Engineering , Capgemini High Tech , Capgemini Cloud , Capgemini Data and AI …
