Liquid cartons contribute to a circular economy :-) !!!

Manuel Häußler wants to turn the way we produce and even think about plastics upside down. In his vision of a #CircularEconomy, chemistry produces high-performance #plastics (comparable to what we're used to) but ➡️From waste and by-products instead of fossil fuels ➡️ using much less energy, thanks to natural processes like yeast and algae fermentation ➡️That can be completely recycled at the end of its life ➡️ restarting the cycle For his project, Manuel received the German Studienpreis 2022 by the Körber-Stiftung and funding by SPRIND - Bundesagentur für Sprunginnovationen.

📊 New Regranulate Forecast & Waste Pricing Report for August 2024! 🌍♻️ On my channel Kreislaufgold, I just published the latest Recycario Regranulate Price Forecast, along with an in-depth analysis of current trends in waste pricing (baled goods). It is a collaboration with the scientists from prognostica GmbH, Würzburg (Germany) and myself. Some key takeaways: Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is becoming mandatory across Europe, with fees and charges that vary widely by country for new packaging materials. According to a study by Recyda, plastic packaging faces the highest fees across several European countries, creating a challenging environment for flexible plastic packaging. The development of regranulate prices and the dynamic waste market continues to surprise. Despite stability in recycled LDPE prices, the pressure on waste pricing persists. Discover more about: How EPR systems are evolving, with incentives for eco-friendly packaging design. The latest trends in regranulate prices and baled plastic waste. Forecasts for 2025 and what recyclers should be preparing for now. Curious to dive into the full analysis? Head over to Kreislaufgold and explore the Recycario subchannel for the complete report.

🚮 19.7 million tons of packaging waste in Germany. 🚮 15% reduction target by 2040. 🚮 Single-use plastics phased out by 2030. The upcoming PPWR regulations are setting ambitious goals to move towards a circular economy, making recyclable packaging the new standard and marking an important moment for the packaging industry and the world. Are we ready to meet these targets? 💡 Discover key trends and insights about this in Futury’s THE MISSION Waste Report 2024! It dives deep into the different challenges and highlights the outstanding solutions being developed by start-ups to drive this transformation. We’re proud to be a part of Futury’s THE MISSION Waste initiative. Through our involvement in their Accelerator Programme, we collaborate with these start-ups and industry partners, engaging in dynamic knowledge exchange to innovate towards our shared goal: achieving a circular economy in packaging.  Let's keep driving innovation and sustainability forward together! 🌱 👉 Get the full report here (German only): https://lnkd.in/dVXvPC4V #THEMISSION #teamadapa #packingthefuture #sustainability #circulareconomy

Last week, I attended the BIOTEXFUTURE Forum during ISPO Munich, witnessing groundbreaking advancements in bio-based materials that are set to transform the textile industry. Key highlights that stood out: 🔬 Dr. Enrico Barsch from the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, Germany detailed how strategic government initiatives are supporting sustainable textile innovations. 🍄 Prof. Vera Meyer's presentation revealed a remarkable insight: Fungi contribute an astounding $54 trillion to the global economy, underscoring their potential for sustainable material development. 🖤 The FunColor team showcased fungal-derived melanin as a sustainable alternative to synthetic dyes, particularly black dyes, which have a significant environmental impact. ♻️ Jan Thiel introduced CO2Tex, a promising project exploring sustainable industrial melt spinning of elastic TPU yarns a significant step toward reducing the environmental impact of synthetic fibres. 🧪 The SmartBioFinish project, led by Henning Löcken and Yannik Brack, showcased the integration of anchor peptides to replace harmful PFAS chemicals in textile finishing. This innovative approach enables functionalities such as hydrophobic and oleophobic properties. This work is particularly significant in light of the potential EU ban on PFAS due to their harmful effects on health and the environment. The projects showcased at BIOTEXFUTURE demonstrated cutting-edge solutions for reducing the textile industry's reliance on petroleum-based materials. These innovations highlight the transformative potential of collaboration in shaping a more sustainable and circular textile value chain. A sincere thank you to Nicole Espey and the BIOTEXFUTURE team for organizing such an insightful and inspiring event. #Sustainability #TextileInnovation #BioMaterials #CircularEconomy #BIOTEXFUTURE #ISPO

🎨 As part of our quick founder questions series – or #QFQ – we spoke to Dr Benjamin Droguet, Founder & CEO of Sparxell, about creating #unique, bio-inspired, chemical-free colours as an alternative to environmentally destructive synthetic #colourants. "At Sparxell, we have developed a unique, bio-inspired, chemical-free way to make #colours. We considered that if #plants and #animals can #create magnificent colours for themselves, why couldn’t we replicate that in #industry?" "Certain things need to be done at the right time, in the right order, laid down and planned. Be a master of #time and #planning." https://lnkd.in/eCTbFRX3

Thrilled about our feature in CIRCLE magazine - a German language mag on Sustainability. What AIZOME does isn't always clear to everyone. Our textiles are free from any ingredients we can't specifically name, which makes us quite unique. Unfortunately, there are no clear legal guidelines on which chemicals are acceptable and which aren't, and many brands prefer not to know the details. The fact is: synthetic dyes (used in most textiles) are made from the same chemicals as plastic. When brands claim their synthetically dyed products are bio, that's greenwashing. AIZOME shows there's a better way. With patented processes and technology, and a growing number of fans, customers, and independent journalists, we're incredibly proud and grateful. Attached is the article from CIRCLE – very nicely written! #AIZOME #Sustainability #Innovation #EcoFriendly #TextileIndustry
