🌱 We look forward to sharing how your company can take steps towards sustainability with the help of #TÜVSÜD's #veriX program!🌍 At #TÜVSÜD, we know how important it is to reduce your carbon footprint and ensure that your products are environmentally sustainable. That's why the #veriX program allows us to accurately #verify the specific CO2 emissions of your products, but also to #validate your planning to reduce #GHG emissions. By creating trust and transparency regarding the emissions of your products, you demonstrate your commitment to sustainability and do your part to combat climate change. Together, let's build a more sustainable world for future generations! 🌿💼 #Sustainability #CarbonFootprint #ClimateAction #TÜVSÜD #veriX

Interview by SWR2 on Water Circularity in Industry 🎙️ 🌊 Christina Jungfer and I had the privilege of being interviewed by SWR2, the German radio station, about our CORNERSTONE Industrial Water project. We talked about the fascinating world of water circularity within industrial processes, exploring how we can transform industrial waste into valuable resources. Water Reuse: Going beyond mere purification, we discussed how CORNERSTONE aims to maximize water reuse, reducing strain on natural water sources. Energy Recovery: We explore methods to recover energy from industrial processes, ensuring sustainability and efficiency. Chemical Recycling: CORNERSTONE isn’t just about water—it’s about reclaiming valuable chemicals from waste streams. 🌐 If you understand German, you can find the full interview below 👇 Let’s continue the dialogue on water circularity and sustainable practices! 🌎💧 #CORNERSTONE #WaterCircularity #Sustainability #IndustrialInnovation

Our Master students in the real world 🌍   👩🎓 Next to her studies, our Master student Corinna Bolliger works as a project manager at Pusch – Praktischer Umweltschutz, where she gets to put her life cycle assessment knowledge directly into practice. 🍅 Using the illustrative example of tomatoes, Corinna explains the methodology of life cycle assessment, its application and benefits in this short video. 📹   It’s fantastic to see that our students get to combine studies and work and incorporate their acquired knowledge into the 'real world'. This is exactly how change is made. 👏💡   #Student #LCA #Practice #LifeCycleKnowledge #LifeCycleThinking

🌊🔍 Exciting News in Water Management from our Centre for Water and Environmental Research (ZWU) members Andre Niemann & #GeorgJohnen: Leveraging AI to Navigate Climate Challenges 🌍 Under the #PROWAVE project, generously funded by the DBU Deutsche Bundesstiftung Umwelt, researchers are pioneering a prediction-based control system for reservoirs. This cutting-edge approach harnesses AI methodologies like Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks to develop efficient control strategies, enhancing our ability to adapt reservoirs to the changing climate. By integrating real-time data and advanced AI techniques, the #PROWAVE project aims to proactively manage water distribution systems based on reliable forecasts of both water demand and supply. This proactive approach not only strengthens flood protection but also ensures sustainable water usage during droughts, mitigating potential conflicts over water resources. The collaboration with industry partners, including KISTERS Group, underscores the commitment to translating research into practical solutions. Together, they are developing a prototype model for reservoir management, with a focus on the interconnected reservoir compound of the Harzwasserwerke GmbH. This model integrates predictions into a sophisticated optimization framework, paving the way for smart reservoir management tailored to the demands of climate change. #WaterManagement #ClimateChange #AI #Innovation #PROWAVE #Sustainability #Research #Collaboration #UDE #DBU #KISTERSAG #Harzwasserwerke

3 tips for International #ewasteday from our Austrian member UFH Holding GmbH 1️⃣ Dispose of correctly, protect the climate: “Unused or defective electrical devices and batteries can be disposed of at over 2,000 municipal collection points throughout Austria. If a new electrical device of the same type is purchased, the old one can be returned directly to the store free of charge. This also applies to online purchases!” 2️⃣ Keep resources in circulation: Electrical devices and batteries contain valuable raw materials such as aluminum, copper and iron. “Correct disposal ensures that these raw materials can be recycled and reused,” explains the expert. In addition, environmentally harmful substances such as lead and mercury are treated professionally. 3️⃣ Avoid the risk of fire – safely! Lithium batteries have an increased risk of fire. The following applies for disposal: remove the batteries from the device, tape off the contacts and take them separately to the collection point. “If the batteries are permanently installed, the entire device must be disposed of. This avoids the risk of fire and ensures safe recycling,” Robert Töscher Stephanie Zsifkovits https://lnkd.in/eexF3AfC

🌍 At EUMEPS, we celebrate the innovative strides our members are making towards sustainability and the circular economy. Here is a wonderful example of the collaboration between 2 of our members BASF and Karl Bachl GmbH & Co KG. 🔁 Insulation materials are pivotal in meeting climate targets by significantly reducing energy consumption. BASF is leading the charge towards maintaining raw materials in circulation and cutting down the use of fossil-based resources, embodying the essence of a circular economy. Through their partnership with Karl Bachl, they are setting new standards in waste reduction and conservation of precious fossil resources. 🤝 This collaboration is a testament to the power of unity in our industry, demonstrating how working together can amplify our impact on sustainability. BASF's journey towards transforming the lifecycle of plastics - from production to reuse - is an inspiring call to action for all of us. Their commitment to #ourplasticsjourney, emphasizing resource efficiency, better usage, and giving plastics a new lease of life, aligns perfectly with our mission at EUMEPS. 🌱 Together, we can accelerate our journey to a sustainable future, making every step count. #GoCreateBASF #EUMEPS #CircularEconomy #Sustainability #Recycling #Innovation #Partnership #ClimateAction We have also spotted Gregor Haverkemper in this video ;)
