It's #BioplasticsWeek! Organized by the PLASTICS (Plastics Industry Association) to educate everyone about the environmental advantages of #bioplastics, today's theme is Bioplastics Breakthroughs. This is a great time to learn how #polyhydroxyalkanoate technology is helping to reduce the amount of #PlasticWaste in the world.

Transforming Composite Manufacturing with Nouryact® https://ow.ly/oZCH50SJa17 In the #composites sector, flax fibers are emerging as a game-changer due to their potential for weight savings, increased bio-content, and better recyclability. Yet, the transition to #biofibers comes with obstacles, primarily because of the moisture-rich nature of flax which complicates the curing process. We step in as the problem-solver with Nouryact® accelerators—#innovations that facilitate the shift from traditional glass to flax reinforcement. Implementing these advanced cure systems eliminates the need for extensive flax drying and specialized storage, cutting down energy use significantly. The result? A cost-efficient, user-friendly, and environmentally conscious solution that opens doors for more companies to incorporate biofibers into their products. 🌱 Read more about flax fiber benefits: https://ow.ly/WmhK50SJa16 #WeAreNouryon #EssentialSolutions #SustainableFuture

Join us at the #SustainabilityHub for networking and solutions sharing during the daily #NPE2024 FiresideChats! Stop by booth SH-7 in the Hub for more about Kuraray's solutions to the sustainability question. https://lnkd.in/gmacH2s9 Session Description: A high performing Thermoplastic Starch Natural Polymer that offers reductions in carbon emissions by incorporating a bio-based oxygen barrier and aroma barrier layer that facilitates the recycling of both polymer and paper-based packaging allowing the layers to completely separate in the recycling stream, and for compostable applications, with certifications as home and industrial compostable, is a unique sustainable packaging barrier option. #Plantic™ also provides an outstanding oil grease resistance replacing PFAS, is a nylon replacement providing outstanding puncture resistance, and the preferred option for PVDC and foil replacement. Recently certified recyclable by WMU as the OGR, aroma and oxygen barrier layer, is revolutionizing the paper packaging industry.

How good does the 𝗚𝗠-𝟭𝟱𝟭𝟬 look 🤩 We have had phenomenal interest and traction with this, FORGED iNNOVATION's first product 📈 Even before we have had a chance to share proper pictures and videos 😅 As promised we have all this, along with demonstration footage coming soon... 🎥 The GM-1510 is a highly effective granulating bucket unlike anything currently on the market. Due to demand we have already started working on its big brother 💪 Get in touch if you have difficult, sticky, lumpy material you want to 'bust up' Or #biochar material you want to process to get to a uniform size and leave this easier to process through existing spreading equipment. While maintaining its porous nature and structure. Get in touch to discuss your specific needs and application(s) 📧 info@forgedinnovation.com #GM1510 #NewProduct #Launch #ProductLaunch #Teaser #Biochar #ClimateTech #BiocharApplication #FutureOfFarming #CarbonFarming
