A breakthrough for the market! 🌍 Producing the world’s first biodegradable #plastic from #CO2 emissions is a major milestone, fully aligned with key EU regulations like the Renewable Energy Directive #RED and the Circular Economy Action Plan. 📜 These policies drive innovation in emission reductions and resource efficiency. I’m glad to see this success despite the many challenges faced along the way. By turning #CO2 into valuable materials, the Carbon2x program addresses both emissions and material scarcity, promoting carbon capture and utilization #CCU- a crucial step toward a circular economy. ♻️
We have some exciting news to share! 🙌 We've been able to produce world’s first biodegradable plastic from CO2 emissions from waste incineration at our plant in Riihimäki, Finland! This is a remarkable milestone in our Carbon2x program and in our mission to rethink recycling and lead the way towards revolution of materials. “Captured carbon dioxide should be utilized as a new raw material instead of storing it underground or releasing it into the atmosphere when using fuel. Utilizing captured CO2 is a much more sustainable option in terms of tackling resource scarcity in the future. Whereas carbon capture and storage is a linear solution that does not address the growing material shortage, carbon capture and utilization promotes circular economy," says Tony Rehn, Head of the Carbon2x program.
