Dive into the transformative journey of the Unity4Water project, spearheaded by Mälarenergi and Eskilstuna Energi och Miljö AB. Discover how their research on wastewater and nutrient recycling is reshaping the landscape of sustainable water management. – This is in line with our objectives. For example, wastewater contains finite resources, nitrogen and phosphorus. By extracting and returning these substances to productive land, we contribute to closing cycles and the circular transition, from all sustainability perspectives. The social perspective is challenging; the transition requires changes in conditions, policies, regulations and behaviour, says Andreas Nilsson, process engineer at Mälarenergi.

What are LCAs (Life Cycle Assessments) and why are they pivotal for a sustainable future? LCAs provide deep insights into the environmental footprint of packaging by evaluating its entire life cycle, from raw material extraction to disposal. These assessments enable informed decisions about sustainability by considering factors such as resource use, energy consumption, emissions, and waste generation. At IFCO, we rely on LCAs to drive the circular economy of our reusable packaging containers (RPCs) and achieve impressive savings: ✔️ 60% less CO2 emissions ✔️ 86% less solid waste ✔️ 80% less water used ✔️ 64% less energy consumption Join us on this journey towards a more sustainable future! #Sustainability #LifeCycleAssessments #CircularEconomy #IFCO #ReusablePackagingContainer

At Rekord, every aspect of our production reflects our commitment to environmental sustainability. From using leather from the food industry, to adopting processes that favour renewable energy - with 80% of our needs covered by photovoltaic panels and the remaining 20% offset by 100% green sources - we are constantly striving to minimise the ecological impact of our operations. Advanced automation helps us to reduce waste, while our packaging is designed to be environmentally friendly, ensuring that we handle natural resources with respect. This journey towards sustainable efficiency is further recognised and consolidated by the ISO 14001:2015 Certification, an achievement that underlines our dedication to environmentally friendly production practices. #Rekord #MGM #amovingcompany #sustainability

🌿 More products from wood, less emissions from pulping 🌿   November 21–22, the Emission-Free Pulping project group gathered at VTT in Espoo, Finland, for the latest Research Forum. This impactful initiative brought together researchers, supervisors, and industry experts, with an exciting mill visit on Wednesday to Stora Enso's Heinola Mill.   "The key to success lies in open collaboration. This is why we invite industry leaders and scientists from around the world to join our consortium, participating in spearheading research that aims to transform pulping processes for better energy and material efficiency," says Per Tomani, Director Research and Business Development, Biorefining & Energy at RISE. The Emission-Free Pulping program is a 5-year collaborative research initiative led by VTT and RISE, with the ambitious goal of revolutionizing traditional pulping methods. By reducing biomass burning and increasing wood product yields from ~50% to ~70%, the program aims to pave the way toward a sustainable future. With an estimated budget of €15 million, this research promises to redefine the possibilities of wood-based materials and energy efficiency.   Together, we are unlocking the full potential of wood while significantly cutting emissions. 💡🌍   #Sustainability #Innovation #Pulping #Collaboration #FutureMaterials #EmissionFreePulping #ResearchForImpact
