X, the moonshot factory’s Post

Additional perspectives on our work, and the state of the plastics circularity challenge. Thank you Elsa Wenzel and Trellis Group for featuring our moonshot. My hope is for us all to recognize that the roadmap to true circularity is really about the journey, and you don't have to be a scientist to have an impact; from the choices we make as consumers to support more sustainable products or packaging, to voting for change to protect the planet and people. It's really hard, if not impossible, to get to the moon in one shot. As a previous founder and entrepreneur I've learned how challenging it is to create change through business, and have critics tell you something isn't possible. But I am living proof that it is. When my previous company, Connora Technologies, set off to create the materials that enabled the first recyclable windmill blade, people thought we were crazy. But in 2021, it finally became a reality. That was my first moonshot, and that journey to the moon is now more than halfway there. So having the support of places like Alphabet Inc. and X, the moonshot factory to build our steps to the moonshot for circularity are really important. It's a unique opportunity and I am proud that we are starting to contribute to that vision today. #circularity #moonshot

Just returned from the inspiring #Circularity24 conference. It covered a diverse range of topics crucial for advancing the circular economy, including Business Innovation & Strategy, Circular Supply Chains, Enabling Policies, Materials Revolution, Next-Gen Products & Packaging, and Stakeholders & Social Impact. I found that the potential of AI in transforming waste management and recycling was a key highlight. It's clear that technologies will play a pivotal role in the coming years, offering solutions for every segment of the plastic waste value chain. However, the success of these innovations hinges on cross-sector collaboration to pilot a truly circular economy. Building a robust material ecosystem is essential for this collaboration. Also, a shoutout to the Dow Packaging & Specialty Plastics team for sharing their valuable insights! #Circulareconomy #Sustainability #Innovation #Collaboration

We have learned a lot since the first R3Group started and always look back on key articles as a source of inspiration and information for our activity and our transition toward the #FashionFactoryoftheFuture.  One such source is the Digitalization Working Group created by EURADA and Fundingbox which is driving the future of Industry 4.0 in Europe. In one of the most recent sections experts discussed the importance of circularity in manufacturing and how, by focusing on sustainable practices, can reduce waste and create a more resilient industry.  Do you want to know more about circularity and its impact on manufacturing? Then Check out minute 39 of their workshop! https://lnkd.in/dW8NSHt5 #CircularEconomy #Sustainability #Industry40 #Digitalisation

Mindbullets: News from the Future | Circular economy in a tailspin #Mindbullets

A strong episode three with a great guest Ruben Nance talking all things plastic recycling- challenges, successes and future innovations. Give episode three a listen and let us know what we should cover next!

Sometimes, it’s the smallest changes that spark the biggest shifts. 🌱 What if we could transform flexible packaging, one step at a time? In the packaging industry, the path to sustainability starts with simple actions - like opting for mono-materials, cutting down on packaging waste, and embracing recyclable solutions that are both effective and cost-efficient. Tomorrow, our expert panel will dive into these crucial insights at Think Circle 2025. COMING TOMORROW! 🚀 #RedefiningCircularity #ThinkCircle2025 #FlexiblePackaging

Revolutionizing the Supply Chain with Circular Economy Principles #CircularEconomy #SupplyChain #ResourceEfficiency #Sustainability #Innovation #ClosedLoopSystem Circular economy in the context of the supply chain involves rethinking traditional linear models to create a closed-loop system where resources are continuously reused, recycled, or repurposed. By integrating circular economy principles into the supply chain, companies can reduce waste, minimize environmental impact, and optimize resource efficiency. This shift towards a circular supply chain not only benefits the environment but also enhances resilience, reduces costs, and fosters innovation throughout the entire value chain. Collaborating with suppliers, customers, and stakeholders to embrace circularity can lead to a more sustainable and efficient supply chain ecosystem.

When we talk about the circular economy, we're not just talking about recycling bins and Eco-friendly products. This is much more! In essence, the circular economy is all about finding innovative ways to reduce waste and maximize resources. And here's the kicker: it's not just good for our local communities; it's a game-changer on a global scale too! At the local level, we can mention issues like creating jobs, reducing waste, and strengthening communities. Moreover, by using the global marketplace, we don't just share ideas; Rather, we are changing the way business is done around the world. From technology transfer to sustainable innovation, collaboration knows no borders! #Circular_Economy #Sustainability #Local_Economy #Global_Economy #Ladan_Mostafazadeh Photo by AI
