Schleich: “Unser Ziel ist es, nur noch nachhaltige Materialien zu verwenden”
In fünf Jahren werden Schleich-Figuren recycelbar oder biologisch abbaubar sein. Außerdem strebt das Unternehmen bis 2027 die Cradle to Cradle® Zertifizierung an und arbeitet daran, recycelte oder biobasierte Materialien zu finden
New 3D printing process enables sustainable fiber composite components modeled on nature’s example
The German Institutes of Textile and Fiber Research (DITF), together with Arburg GmbH + Co KG, are developing an energy- and material-efficient 3D printing process for manufacturing of lightweight bio-based fiber composites
A step towards solar fuels out of thin air
EPFL chemical engineers have invented a solar-powered artificial leaf, built on a novel electrode which is transparent and porous, capable of harvesting water from the air for conversion into hydrogen fuel. The semiconductor-based technology is scalable and easy to prepare
The Renewable Carbon Initiative (RCI) receives supportRGU’s daffodil research breakthrough could unlock new heart disease treatment
Daffodil’s bulbs, which produce a high-value alkaloid called galanthamine, are already used in the UK to treat Alzheimer’s disease but the results from this project could unlock the benefits of using all parts of the plant
Lignovations’ functional ingredient LignoGuard® based on Fibenol LIGNOVA™ lignin confirmed safe for use in cosmetic products
Using Fibenol’s lignin called LIGNOVA™ as a raw material, Lignovations has developed a new functional ingredient called LignoGuard® that has passed all relevant safety tests to be used in cosmetic products including those for sensitive skin
C&A und das Bioökonomie-Start Up traceless materials ersetzen Textilhaken aus Plastik
Die Pilotphase mit traceless materials ist ein weiteres Beispiel für C&As Initiativen im Rahmen der Kreislaufwirtschaft, wie auch die Cradle to Cradle® zertifizierten Produktinnovationen oder die Zusammenarbeit mit dem Materialforschungsunternehmen Recover™
Submit Your Innovative Product now: The Innovation Award “Renewable Material of the Year 2023An exclusive interview with Giulia Gregori, Novamont. “Specific codes for the biobased industries are fundamental to fully exploit the circular bioeconomy potential”
NACE codes are an important element as they would allow a better measurement in the statistical field and the possibility of addressing specific legislative measures dedicated to waste deriving from biodegradable and compostable plastic products
Vollebak releases “first piece of clothing ever” coloured with black algae dye
Experimental clothing brand Vollebak and biomaterials company Living Ink have teamed up to create a T-shirt using black dye made from algae instead of petroleum, in what they say marks a major breakthrough for sustainable fashion
New study on optimizing microbial fuel cells shows electrode material can make all the difference
The best results were achieved with carbon felt and modified stainless steel mesh, which generated quantities of electricity that can be used in practice, for example, to power environmental monitoring sensors in remote regions
Neue Studie zur Optimierung mikrobieller Brennstoffzellen: das Elektrodenmaterial macht den Unterschied
Das beste Ergebnis erzielten modifizierte Elektroden aus Edelstahlgewebe, die unabhängig zuverlässig Strommengen erzeugen, welche z.B. für den Betrieb von Umweltüberwachungssensoren in entlegenen Regionen genutzt werden können
