As global climate discussions at COP29 Azerbaijan highlight environmental action, Alchemie Technology calls for urgent government intervention to tackle water pollution in the textile industry. 𝐖𝐞 𝐮𝐫𝐠𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐲𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧-𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡 𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫, 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐮𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐞. Textile dyeing contributes significantly to environmental degradation, particularly through severe water pollution. Transitioning the industry to sustainable practices is essential but requires regulatory support and funding for widespread adoption and real impact. A primary aim this year is to secure more funds for lower-income countries to help them reduce emissions and adapt to climate change. Textile-producing countries, which often face challenges in setting and achieving ESG targets, need collaborative support from governments, brands, supply chains, and innovators to drive real progress. Water pollution from textile dyeing affects communities worldwide, yet sustainable solutions, like our low-carbon digital dyeing Endeavour™ technology, offer hope. With government backing, we can transform textile dyeing and protect our planet's waterways for generations to come. #COP29 #SustainableFashion #WaterConservation #AlchemieTechnology #sustainability #textileindustry #fashion #futureoftextiles

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗡𝗼𝘄: 𝗔 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝗙𝗮𝗶𝗿 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗦𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝗖𝗢𝗣𝟮𝟵 As we look ahead to the necessary material transition the world faces, it's encouraging to see important initiatives being taken, such as the call from the Minister Sophie Hermans of the Dutch Ministerie van Klimaat en Groene Groei (Ministry of Climate and Green Growth) at the COP29 Azerbaijan climate summit in Baku. Minister Hermans is inviting countries to join an international initiative to 𝗽𝗵𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘀𝘂𝗯𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗹 𝗳𝘂𝗲𝗹𝘀. The Netherlands took the lead on this during last year’s climate summit COP28 UAE in Dubai, and this year, the momentum continues. It's a crucial signal that the global transition to more sustainable solutions must be driven not only by technological innovation but also by clear policy measures. In line with this call to phase out fossil fuel subsidies, there is a critical task for all of us: creating a level playing field for new, sustainable materials that can replace the harmful effects of fossil plastics. This is where innovative companies like Solinatra play a pivotal role. Offering fully natural and sustainable material that can contribute to solving the plastic problem: material that offers the same benefits and consumer experience as plastics, and is not only biobased and compostable but also biodegrades leaving no microplastics or harmful substances behind in the environment. The transition from fossil, non-biodegradable plastics to sustainable alternatives is not only possible but essential. #Biobased #biodegradable materials replacing plastic reduce environmental damage, while also helping to achieve #climategoals by drastically lowering CO2 emissions during production. What we need is for these alternatives to be able to compete fairly with the established plastic industry, and that can happen if measures are taken to end measures favoring polluting plastics, discourage fossil fuel use and make the true costs of environmental impact visible. Minister Hermans' call to engage the market more in climate financing is, therefore, a positive step toward realizing a #circular economy and the transition to sustainable materials. As she herself pointed out, every challenge brings opportunity. The world is at a crossroads, and we cannot make this transition by waiting for political changes alone. The time to act is now, and these changes can no longer be delayed. Let’s all join forces and work towards a future where sustainable, biobased & biodegradable materials become the norm, and we leave fossil plastics behind once and for all. #Solinatra #SustainableFuture #ClimateAction #PlasticFree #Innovation #GreenTransition #SustainableMaterials #CircularEconomy

🌍 World Environment Day 🌎 A New Look at Plastic 🌏 Today we celebrate World Environment Day, a fundamental opportunity to reflect on the collective commitment towards a more sustainable future. 🎯 For this reason we wish to share a perspective that is often overlooked, if not mystified: the positive contribution of Plastics in protecting the environment through the reduction of CO2 emissions. Some food for thought: ❇️ WEIGHT REDUCTION: IRON has a specific weight of approx. 8 g/cm3, GLASS of 2.5 and PLASTICS goes from approx. 0.9 to 1.6 g/cm3. If we consider that weight is one of the most impacting factors on energy consumption linked to movement, it is easy to understand the enormous gap in CO2 emissions. And this is the basis of the cars weight reduction which led to a strong reduction in fuel consumption. ✅ PRODUCTION ENERGY EFFICIENCY: IRON and GLASS have melting points above 1.500°C, PLASTICS (various thermoplastic materials) ranges from approx. 110 to 350°C. Even in this case, the enormous gap in terms of energy consumption is evident. This is also a key element in the ECO-DESIGN phase to reduce the CARBON FOOTPRINT of new products. ✳️ THERMAL INSULATION: PLASTICS is an excellent insulator, especially in its foamed version, and offers a great contribution in terms of energy efficiency in multiple applications: constructions, appliances, equipment, etc. ♻️ RECYCLING AND REUSE: THERMOPLASTIC MATERIALS ARE 100% RECYCLABLE and this offers an extraordinary contribution to the #CIRCULARECONOMY in terms of reducing waste thanks to the life cycle extension. 🌱 Towards a Sustainable Future: pollution (not only from plastic) is a serious problem that requires urgent and effective solutions. This is why it's important to know the reality in order to make the right choices to obtain lasting results. The #EuropeanGreenDeal aims to transform the EU into a modern, resource-efficient and competitive economy. PLASTICS can make a valid contribution, in line with the #SustainableDevelopmentGoals of the #UN2030Agenda, in particular Goal 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) and Goal 13 (Fight against Climate Change). 💚 On this #WorldEnvironmentDay, let's reflect objectively and without prejudice on how we can transform environmental challenges into opportunities for a more sustainable world. Together, we can make a difference! 💚 #GhepiInnovation #ResponsiblePlastics #CO2Reduction #GreenDeal #Decarbonization #Agenda2030 #SustainableInnovation #SustainableFuture #ClimateChange 

It does beg the question why? Why is so much energy in business put into avoiding/ circumventing circular economy strategies? Prime example, I recently called out a mega corporation for seeming greenwash and was duly 'corrected'*. But the correction just pointed out more subversion; the person used to justify the corps actions is a lobbyist for the timber industry who now trades 'carbon credits'. Vested interests anyone?!. So returning to the question; Is the circular economy bad for old economic practices? Does Capitalism have a fundamental flaw in respect it runs on ever increasing consumption? *https://lnkd.in/eV75Zng7

"For a chance at 1.5°C, the new NDCs must cut 42 per cent off greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and 57 per cent by 2035. To achieve this goal, or get close to achieving it, circular economy approaches must be prominent. This is because our linear growth model of take, make and waste is the key driver of the whole triple planetary crisis: the crisis of climate change, the crisis of nature, biodiversity and land loss, and the crisis of pollution and waste. The costs of this development model are staggering. Material extraction and processing contribute up to 60 per cent of greenhouse gas emissions. Biodiversity loss is costing the global economy 10 per cent of its output. Pollution-related losses have been estimated at US$4.6 trillion annually, not to mention millions of lives. And the inequality is staggering. High-income countries consume six times more materials per capita than low-income countries. Nations are realizing they must change track. Since 2016, 71 new national circular economy calls to action, roadmaps and operational strategies have been launched. Now the next round of NDCs is a chance to do much more. Only 28 per cent of nations have included circularity in their existing NDCs, including Azerbaijan and Türkiye from the ECO region. Many more nations must take up the circularity baton in their new climate pledges." #UNEP #COP29 #CircularSolutions https://lnkd.in/en_JieWp

Personal story: When I attended COP27 in Egypt in 2022 still with Circle Economy you could find recycling bins that allowed you to sort, plastics, metals, paper, glass everywhere As you can imagine for a climate conference, attendees took this very seriously, especially as the organisation put up big signs explaining the 'why' and the 'how'. Just after I put some trash in the bin, the staff made the rounds to collect the waste and I asked if I could join them. When we reached the main trash collection site, they ended up putting all the sorted waste in one large container .... My point of telling this story is not that recycling does not matter - it does. However, few people really know where there waste ends up. In addition, the majority of our products such as plastics are not really designed for recycling or reuse and end up being landfilled or incinerated. Let's put more focus on design and clever reuse models and less waste to make circularity happen! Your thoughts? #regeneration #circulareconomy #recycling

👏 Thank you for telling this story, Martijn Lopes Cardozo! This is a great example of how even if plastic is labeled recyclable and gets thrown in the recycle bin, that doesn't mean it will *actually* be recycled. Unfortunately, most plastic ends up in either a landfill or the ocean.... 👎 ♻️ One of the many great things about 100% molded fiber packaging (Like Hartmann North America's egg cartons) is that it is 100% biodegradable. Even if it *does* happen to end up in a landfill, it will break down quickly and won't be sticking around like plastics for at least two decades before turning into microplastics. ...food for thought! 💡 #ditchplastic #ditchplasticpackaging #moldedfiber #sustainablepackaging #moldedfiber #eggcartons
