We've recently been asked, "Are TekPak Solutions Omnidegradable products compostable"? Answer: Municipal compost facilities want products to decompose in 8-12 weeks in order to be considered "compostable." Our packaging takes a little longer, so we do not claim it is "compostable." It is biodegradable in many more places, such as anaerobic landfills and oceans (except any non-Omnidegradable component, like a Tin Tie).

Our coir mats are now made from 80% biobased and recycled material. When it comes to sustainability, Rinos - since 1925 - has had an eye for people and the environment, for generations. The use of renewable materials is embedded in Rinos’ DNA. We were the first to produce a walk-off mat using ECONYL® (regenerated polyamide). In 2020, we developed a PVC-free alternative to our mats, Pura Backing™. Since January 2024, we have been using recycled calcium carbonate (chalk) as a filler in the backing of our mats. Endura9 is the new branded feature developed by Rinos for its coir mats: yarns made from extra-long, durable coir fibers that last longer and remain beautiful for longer. Curious about how we performed in terms of sustainability in 2023?

✨ Imagine a world in which food scraps, agricultural residues and waste water are transformed into bioplastics, which are fully biodegradable in soil, rivers and oceans. 🌎 This world is closer than you think! Wetsus, European Centre of Excellence for Sustainable Water Technology is developing PHA with support of Horizon project Agro2Circular. ⚗ PHA can be applied as mulch films, in horticulture, for slow release fertilizers and replacing other kinds of single use plastics. Saving our environment in a sustainable way... Check out this new insightful video in which Zarja Medved wonderfully explains this new technology.

🌿 Transforming Waste into Value: VOW Wins Miljøringen’s Award We’re thrilled to share that the VOW project (Valorization of Organic Waste into Sustainable Products for Clean-up of Contaminated Water, Soil, and Air) has received Miljøringen’s Award for its innovative contributions to circular economy and environmental technology! Led by NGI and funded by the Research Council of Norway, the project demonstrated how organic waste—such as sewage sludge and residual wood—can be converted into biochar using pyrolysis. This biochar is a powerful material that binds pollutants, helping to remediate contaminated soil, water, and air. 🛠️ The project’s success is a testament to the collaborative effort of national and international partners, including Lindum, Scanship, SINTEF, and more. Special thanks to NGI’s team, including project leader Gerard Cornelissen, PhD candidate Erlend Sørmo, and researchers Gabrielle Dublet-Adli, Hans Peter Arp, Caroline Berge Hansen, and Maren Valestrand Tjønneland. Miljøringen recognized the project’s potential to tackle global environmental challenges with scalable, high-impact solutions. The results affirm that sustainable innovation is not just possible—it’s happening now! 📸 Pictured: Erlend Sørmo accepts the Gullspaden award on behalf of the project, alongside Miljøringen’s Chair of the Board, Randi Warland Kortegaard. #Sustainability #CircularEconomy #EnvironmentalInnovation #Biochar #ResearchForImpact Forskningsinstituttenes fellesarena (FFA) Norges forskningsråd

Did you know that Biotic's PHBV can be made from organic waste? 🌱 At Biotic, we use macroalgae, a naturally renewable resource, as our preferred feedstock for PHBV. However, it 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁-𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲. This flexibility supports sustainability and scalability by utilizing local renewable resources, reducing reliance on finite materials, and protecting food systems and other planetary boundaries. This adaptability embodies circularity and localization principles, allowing us to efficiently scale production and minimize environmental impact. Join us this Plastic Free July in advancing the circular economy and pioneering sustainable solutions for a regenerative future. #PlasticFreeJuly #Biotic #PHBV #PHA #Bioplastics #CircularEconomy #Sustainability

🚽 Most people don't think about where human sewage waste goes once it leaves their home. Flushed down a toilet, sent to a sewage system, that organic waste is never thought of again. In the US alone, over 100M tons of organic waste per year are sent to landfill, incinerated, or applied to crop fields, creating environmental and health problems. 🔥 That's why Sweet Farm was excited to team up with Bioforcetech Corporation as part of its Climate Tech Accelerator program. Bioforcetech’s technology https://lnkd.in/ejACg44Y transforms organic streams (including from the human waste system) into both renewable energy and biochar. The heat of this process also eliminates some very problematic chemical chains like PFAS, microplastics, and pharmaceuticals. 💪 Biochar can be applied in many different ways to create a more sustainable planet. Biochar is practically a miracle substance. It can be used as a colorant in inks, stains, resins, and more. It can also replace aggregates in concrete, turning buildings into carbon sinks, or added to any cast material like ceramics, reducing raw material needs. 🌱 At Sweet Farm we use it as a soil amendment. Biochar restores soil carbon by helping microbes flourish, holding onto water, and adding much needed nitrogen and phosphorous. We had the best strawberries we've ever grown after we added Bioforcetech's biochar to our soil! #sustainability #climatesolutions #climateaction #sustainabilty #sustainableliving #climatesanctuary #sustainable #conservation #nowasteliving #sustainablelifestyle #climate #climatechange #nowaste #futurefarming #sustainableagriculture #regenerativeagriculture #regenerative #regenerativefarming #regenerativegardening #sustainablefarming #regenerativefarm #biochar #agriculture

ADYPU takes another leap towards sustainability! We're thrilled to announce the installation of a biogas plant and vermi-compost plant right here on our campus. These eco-friendly initiatives are not just about reducing waste, but about transforming it into valuable resources. The biogas plant converts organic waste into clean energy, reducing our carbon footprint and dependency on non-renewable sources. Meanwhile, the vermi-compost plant turns organic waste into nutrient-rich compost, enriching our soil and supporting lush greenery across our campus. Join us in celebrating this milestone as we continue our commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainable living. Check out the glimpses of the inauguration! #ADYPU #AjeenkyaDYPatilUniversity #Sustainability #sustainable #sustainability #sustainabilitygoals #sustainabilitymatters #SustainabilityInAction #sustainabilityeducation #BiogasPlant #Vermicompost #GreenLiving #EnvironmentalStewardship #Sustainableinitiative #carbonfootprint

What do you do with banana peels and old bags? Most people would throw them away, but here at FUCHS we are teaming up with Fraunhofer UMSICHT to research bacteria that turn organic waste into bioplastics. It’s a win-win situation: The bacteria get to feast on “delicious” waste. We get renewable bioplastics, which could serve as additives in future greases and solid film lubricants. The entire process – replacing finite raw materials with renewable alternatives – is part of our ACT-program, a wider move towards circular economy.   In fact, ACT (Advanced Circular Technologies) sums up everything we do to transform our value chain from linear to circular.   This is just one example – stay tuned for the next update! In the meantime, you can learn more about ACT here ➡ https://ow.ly/ILHO50RFs16 And here’s more about our bacterial helpers ➡ https://ow.ly/qYKw50RFs17   #FUCHS #MovingYourWorld #CircularEconomy #sustainability #AdvancedCircularTechnologies #FUCHSACT #TimetoACT

"Hey everyone, I came across something interesting recently that I think we should discuss. You know how we've been talking a lot about #sustainability and #eco-friendly products? Well, I've been learning about the differences between #compostable and #biodegradable materials, and I think it's worth exploring together. Did you know there's a distinction between the two? Let's dive in and see how they stack up."   #Compostable: Means it breaks down into nutrient-rich soil under specific conditions, while #Biodegradable: Just means it breaks down into smaller pieces over time.  #Compostable: Materials need composting facilities, while  #Biodegradable: Ones can break down in different environments. #Compostable items often have certifications, ensuring they degrade safely, while #Biodegradable items may not have such guarantees." #opgbiosolutions #opgcompostablesolution #Connect OPG BIOSOLUTIONS for Compostable Solution.
