I highly recommend this article released by the Gulf Petrochemicals and Chemicals Association (GPCA) from my good friend Mr. Naser Aldousari pressing on the need to address plastic waste through innovative and collaborative approaches. The transition to a circular economy is not just a sustainable choice but an economic imperative. By redesigning products for recyclability and investing in advanced recycling technologies, we can significantly reduce plastic waste and its environmental impact. The GCC region, with its strong industrial base, is well-positioned to lead this transition. Initiatives like EQUATE Petrochemical Company شركة ايكويت للبتروكيماويات ‘s use of recycled materials for plastic pallets showcase the tangible benefits of circular practices. However, success hinges on improved waste management infrastructure, greater stakeholder engagement, and robust regulatory frameworks. The adoption of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) schemes in the GCC could drive greater accountability and foster a culture of sustainability. As we move forward, it’s crucial for industry leaders, policymakers, and the public to collaborate, ensuring that plastic waste is effectively managed and transformed into valuable resources. Let’s embrace the circular economy model to not only mitigate environmental impact but also unlock significant economic opportunities and create a more resilient future.

New life for old plastics: Post-stabilization is the key to success Post-stabilization of #recyclates is crucial for quality assurance in the #plastics recycling industry. Customized stabilizer systems can neutralize oxidative damage, which increases the reusability of polyolefin recyclates. This leads not only to better product properties, but also reduces the consumption of resources and promotes the sustainable use of plastics. Within the framework of the Fraunhofer CCPE, the Fraunhofer LBF has devoted itself to the post-stabilization of recyclates and developed a new generation of stabilizer systems tailored to the special requirements of recyclates. 👉 Read more: https://lnkd.in/dz2ikynT Picture copyright: Fraunhofer LBF

🎙 Exciting news! Erica Ross, BlueAlp’s Commercial Lead, will be #speaking at a Round Table Discussion during the upcoming Circular Plastics Packaging Europe conference in Rotterdam on May 7th, 2024 #ChemicalRecycling is changing the paradigms of plastic circularity. The #roundtable will focus on exploring key questions like: 1. How does scaling up chemical recycling influence achieving mandatory targets? 2. Can chemical recycling technologies play a role in establishing a circular and sustainable economy? 3. What is the Environmental Impact and GHG emission reductions? 4. How can a mass balance fuel use exemption be utilized for allocating recycled content from chemical recycling? We are looking forward to an insightful discussion and seeing you at the event.

What potential does chemical recycling have in the circular economy? The discourse surrounding the circular economy, plastics recycling, and the integration of chemical recycling into the economic and regulatory landscape has gained significant momentum in Europe. The German Industry Associations BDE, PED, and VCI—representing parts of the waste management, plastics manufacturing, and chemical sectors—have jointly released a mission statement outlining their vision for a sustainable circular economy with plastics in Germany. We seized the opportunity to explore the topic of chemical recycling in-depth through an enlightening interview with Dr. Alexander Kronimus, Managing Director for Climate and Circularity at PlasticsEurope Deutschland e. V. (PED). Dr. Kronimus provided valuable insights into the ongoing debate surrounding chemical recycling and shed light on the perspective of German plastics manufacturers.

Follow the low carbon road - #plastics #packaging #innovation #technology #packagingdesign Momentum is building in the zero-to-low carbon chemicals and plastics space with many different pathways to production that will give customers more options to reduce their carbon footprint. There’s more than one way to skin a cat, as the English phrase goes. And so for the global decarbonisation challenge, all technologies and processes are on the table – carbon capture and storage (CCS), carbon capture and utilisation (CCU), biogenic carbon dioxide, green hydrogen, green methanol, e-naphtha and one day, direct air capture (DAC). For now, we exclude recycled and bio-based plastics as these processes are already a bit more established. For […] https://lnkd.in/dqNFSWZz
