Is this new material a game changer for the plastics debate? It is as strong as conventional plastics, recyclable and biodegradable, but what makes it special is that it breaks down in seawater. https://lnkd.in/eYXMjGe2

Today, #EarthDay2024 calls for a 60% reduction in the production of all plastics by 2040. To make it a reality, sustainable alternatives to replace plastic packaging are much needed.   #Paptic was founded to tackle one of the biggest global environmental challenges of our time —accumulating plastic waste. Our renewable and recyclable materials for flexible packaging allow brands to decrease the use of plastics in their packaging, meet the high sustainability expectations of consumers, and reduce the burden caused by plastics on the environment.

🌍 Exciting times ahead for sustainable innovation! The #ReBioCycle project is taking major strides to prove that biodegradable plastics aren't just recyclable—they're often up-cyclable! By focusing on the top 3 biobased polymers—PLA, bioplastics Composites and PHAs—we're set to revolutionize the recycling landscape. With global bioplastics production expected to soar from 2.2 million tonnes in 2022 to 6.3 million tonnes by 2027, effective and scalable waste management technologies are critical. ReBioCycle responds to this need by demonstrating advanced recycling processes at three exemplary Hubs. These processes will produce high-quality recycled bioplastics and value-added co-products, all while reducing the carbon footprint over the entire lifecycle. Our approach will help future-proof the sector as the circular bioeconomy evolves, ensuring that the increasing share of bio-based and biodegradable plastics is effectively managed. The project also aligns with the EU’s push for standardized waste collection and sorting systems, ensuring that the value of these materials is fully realized—whether for the same purpose or repurposed for new applications.

🎥 SPOTLIGHT CLIP:  Today we are recognizing 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐉𝐮𝐥𝐲 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒, a global movement to help solve #plastic pollution and reduce 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐰𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞 at home, work and school! The idea is to try to avoid using single-use plastic items 🥤 and choose reusable alternatives, instead.   Most plastics are made from fossil fuels, but as new technologies emerge, the use of renewable and #biodegradable alternatives are becoming more widely available. 🌲 The hope is that #bioplastics, made from renewable sources, will become the future of the industry, replacing conventional synthetic #plastics with those derived from 𝐛𝐢𝐨𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐲𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐬, which can help to reduce both CO2 emissions and energy consumption.    We’re spotlighting Beyond Plastic LLC, which develops biodegradable and #compostable PHA polymer products in 𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗲-𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴, in addition to doing testing of biodegradability. Watch snippets from our segment with CTO Fred Pinczuk and Senior Product Development Manager James B Fields II, PhD, who describe the complex process, along with Alexander Delnik, President & COO of Circularix, which helps brands achieve their #sustainability goals.

Plastics have become ubiquitous in our modern world – we simply wouldn’t be able to live and work in the way we do without them. However, the environmental impact can no longer be ignored. Traditional #plastics derived from fossil fuels generate greenhouse gas emissions, contribute to waste buildup, and too often wind up in places that pollute our lands and oceans. GIC, in working for a #NetZero chemical industry by 2050, is determined to foster collaboration across the #chemicals value chain to drive scientific developments to create more sustainable plastic alternatives. Significant progress has already been made. Bio-based plastics made from renewable plant sources like corn, sugarcane and cellulose offer a way to reduce reliance on fossil feedstocks, while biodegradable plastics can help solve waste issues by breaking down after use. Meanwhile, recent advances in macromonomer #chemistry are enabling recycled plastics to perform similarly to virgin materials. Macromonomers act as binding agents, allowing recycled plastic waste to be reincorporated into high-performance applications. This chemical #recycling technology is particularly exciting and could revolutionize our ability to keep plastics out of landfills and the wider environment. As plastic waste becomes an ever-growing global challenge, sustainable innovations such as these are crucial. From bio-based sources to improved recycling, the chemical sector is pioneering material solutions to reduce the environmental footprint associated with plastics. Implementing these advancements will be vital for a more circular, sustainable plastics economy, and will be a major focus area for GIC and its members.

Driving Sustainability in Manufacturing:- "THE CHOICES THAT WE MAKE TODAY WILL HAVE AN IMPACT ON OUR TOMORROW":- At B & C we embrace the exciting world of bio-based and recycled plastics. We are known for closing the loop on plastic waste but for the last few years, we have been working with Universities and Private Enterprises on Bio Plastics, something that we are passionate about. Bioplastics differ from conventional plastics in that they are biodegradable, bio-based or both. As the world moves towards a more sustainable future, we are committed to being at the forefront of innovation. We're exploring the possibilities of bio-based and recycled plastics, offering a more sustainable alternative to traditional materials. The Benefits of Bio-Based and Recycled Plastics:- Reduced carbon footprint: Derived from renewable sources and waste streams, these materials minimize our reliance on fossil fuels. Improved mechanical properties: Many bio-based and recycled plastics exhibit excellent strength, durability, and heat resistance. Endless possibilities: From automotive components to packaging solutions, these materials can revolutionize various industries. We're excited to see how these innovations will shape the future of manufacturing. #Sustainability #Bioplastics #RecycledPlastics #Innovation #B&CPlastics

Carbon footprint is a major concern in today's world, with greenhouse gases being generated by our daily activities and products. Plastic industries impact significantly to carbon footprint during the manufacturing process and other activities. That's why Union J. Plus is supporting the NET ZERO project, aiming to reduce greenhouse gases to zero in the atmosphere by 2050.  One way to reduce carbon footprint is to use recycled plastic (PCR). The new technologies today have made PCR plastic recycled products of higher quality, such as being able to reach 100% food-grade contactable, odorless, and with good clarity Etc. This is a game-changer in the plastic industry and can greatly reduce carbon footprint. Let's all do our part in creating a sustainable future by supporting initiatives like the NET ZERO project and using recycled plastic. 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐉.
