#Highligts form our Workshop ! Addressing SSBD of #biobased coatings: How to address safety and sustainability dimensions in new high-performing biobased coatings? That’s what we are working on in #BIORING, and to better answer we hold our first Open Innovation Workshop, titled Early sustainability assessment in innovation process. Share good practices on anticipatory risk assessment, prospective, ex-ante LCA and more. We gathered several experts in SSbD, LCA, chemicals, materials and process design & modelling, and data analytics for an open discussion on methods, tools, data and case studies. The starting point was the BIORING anticipatory approach in the evaluation of potential product development and life cycle impacts, and the challenges we are facing in the development of our sustainable biobased coatings for high-demanding applications. After a brief presentation of the project and its objectives, we introduced our approach for the BIORING early sustainability assessment, providing highlights on the LCA, foresight tools, and design & process modelling applications. In order to discuss, explore and share experiences on these main aspects/challenges, participants were divided into three groups concerning: Challenges of early assessment. Assessment & foresight tools. Process and design modelling.

🌍 We’ve just wrapped up an insightful experience at the Workshop on Sustainable Polymers and Circular Economy of Plastics (#SusChem24) in Ischia, where Riccardo Novelli from Life Cycle Engineering Spa represented the #UTILE project, presenting a poster that detailed our project’s objectives, methods, and technologies. This highly technical event brought together PhD students, researchers, and university professors, offering us valuable opportunities to engage with experts and exchange insights on advancing the recyclability of #polymers. Key Takeaways:   🔬 The academic world is pushing beyond the current industrial trend of recycling plastic waste via pyrolysis. Researchers are exploring two alternative approaches:  1. Chemical recycling through #depolymerization: this method generates new polymers (multi-block) by converting polymer chains into a more sustainable and high-performance form that can be recycled multiple times. 2. Improving #thermoset recyclability: many studies and presentations focused on making thermosetting polymers more recyclable using Covalent Adaptable Networks (CAN) technology. This is particularly exciting as it aligns with UTILE’s approach to developing more sustainable and recyclable polymer solutions.   Overall, the workshop confirmed that #UTILE is on the right track. The advancements and research being presented reaffirm that the projects’ approach to making bio-resins more recyclable is aligned with leading trends in polymer science and is giving promising results.   Stay tuned for more updates!   #SusChem24 #SustainablePolymers #CircularEconomy #UTILEProject #PolymerRecycling #Innovation FECSA - FÁBRICA ESPAÑOLA DE CONFECCIONES Hilaturas Arnau, S.L.Instytut Technologii Bezpieczeństwa "MORATEX"SOCIETA PER AZIONI FRATELLI CITTERIO Funditec Life Cycle Engineering Spa Noctuo Research Driven Solutions

erthos® is revolutionising the future of plastics! Instead of eliminating plastics, this Toronto-based startup is creating naturally derived resins that perform just like traditional plastics—without disrupting supply chains. 🌱 Founded in 2018 by Nuha Siddiqui, Kritika Tyagi and Chang Dong at the University of Toronto — while the three were studying Chemical Engineering, Environmental Economics and Plant Biology, respectively — erthos emerged from a visionary collaboration bridging the co-founders’ pursuits. Since it was founded it has been leading the way in biomaterial innovation. With hundreds of sustainable ingredients from agricultural feedstocks, they design eco-friendly materials that focus on recyclability and compostability. ♻️ The company’s proprietary AI-ML platform, ZYA™ — integrated into erthos Studio — uses predictive modeling, material science and biobased ingredients to fast-track the R&D process for brands transitioning to biomaterials, increasing speed-to-market fivefold and reducing costs by 92%. Siddiqui says ZYA efficiently iterates formulations optimised for specific performance and sustainability metrics — tailoring solutions for diverse applications from durable shampoo bottles to flexible, compostable packaging.
