In Honor of♻ #GlobalRecyclingDay March 18, 2024, #Recyclingawareness and #RecyclingHeroes We're sharing a shoutout to one of our local partners here in #EriePA, International Recycling Group and newBin. You can checkout their updates on the project at their website https://lnkd.in/eW7bjtYT , but here is a playback to their introduction during our #PlastekAcademy #Webinar : Emergence of the Hyper-Scale #Plastics Recovery Facility. https://lnkd.in/ebHprM9a #Plastek Academy Webinar (aired June 16, 2022) Title: Plastek Academy: Emergence of the Hyper-Scale Plastics Recovery Facility, Presented by International Recycling Group Intro: With a feeding frenzy occurring for all post-consumer resins by CPGs—including #PET, #HDPE and #PP—prices are at historically high levels. A mismatch between materials needed to satisfy recycled content mandates—governmental and consumer—and supply, can only be bridged by significant investment in large-scale mechanical recycling facilities to drive down the cost of #recycling. IRG was founded to develop the country’s first hyper-scale (100,000+ tons p.a.) sorting, washing and pelletizing plant in Erie, PA. We will go into details about the plant, throughputs, operations and anticipated finished products. Presentation Summary: - What has suppressed participation in recycling, and the amount of recyclable material reaching recyclers? - Why will IRG be a benefit to households, haulers, and the supply of all recyclable materials? - Technical limitations of #PCR & impact on product attributes. - How today's economics justify investment in large-scale, 100% automated sorting facilities to satisfy the need for PCR. - Review of IRG's plant under development in Erie, PA. Guest Speakers: Mitch Hecht Founder & Chairman

Advancing circular plastic use in life sciences 🔄 The recycling of sterile single-use plastics in life science research is a challenge. Now Sartorius and Covestro successfully tested the potential of closed-loop recycling of small-scale bioreactors, proving that the recycled polycarbonate can match the quality of virgin materials. The study is a step forward on the pathway to achieving more circularity in our products. Nevertheless, we are facing further challenges: How can infrastructure and processes be optimized to create sustainable solutions that meet industry's strict quality and safety requirements? Magali Barbaroux, Corporate Research Fellow at Sartorius, delves into this complex journey on the Sartorius blog. Discover why the industry's unique needs make recycling a challenge and why there's no one-size-fits-all solution: https://sar.to/z2qmj #Sustainability #LifeSciences #Recycling #Innovation #Circularity

Celebrating Earth Day 2024! 🌍 This year, the Earth Day's focus is on "Planet vs. Plastics", and as part of our commitment to sustainability and the circular economy, we're proud to introduce the VIRTUCYCLE® program, developed by Arkema, and now available to our customers. The VIRTUCYCLE® program offers a solution for reclaiming used polymer materials and components, contributing to a more sustainable future. To have a proof point that this is a program we can really recommend, we did a Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) which is currently externally verified by TÜV Süd. It states that turning 1kg of polymer material into 0,945kg* granules saves approx. 7kg CO₂e compared to using brand-new raw material. 🌱Join us in making a difference this Earth Day and every day: https://lnkd.in/gc-Z3CJc *value <1kg due to production losses #futureisadditive #responsiblemanufacturing #3Dprinting

Thank you Candice Chow 周 志 㯋 and Pablo Carter for inviting me to be a judge at the MBA Final Case Presentation at DeGroote School of Business - McMaster University. It was inspiring to see students looking for solutions to plastic packaging - specifically in the space of mesh netting. Plastic will never be circular. In fact, it's the antithesis of circular. That's why it's so critical that we look to nature-based alternative materials where packaging is required. As I closed out my final thoughts to the class, I read a quote which I felt was so appropriate as it relates to our path to removing plastics (and even better that it was moon-related given the eclipse today): "We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too." - JFK Many may think removing plastics to be impossible, but it's a challenge I'm certainly willing to accept and intend to win. #freshproduce #plastics #sustainablepackaging #packaging #innovation #moon #circularity VPZ Verpackungszentrum GmbH #compostable #compostablepackaging
