Holz-Polymer-Verbundwerkstoffe: Portfolio mit vollkommen neuem Eigenschaftsprofil
Wood K plus konnte im Rahmen des COMET-Projektes mithilfe der optimierten Zusammensetzung einer Elastomerkomponente und geeigneten Holzpartikeln in einer Versuchsplanung eine erhöhte Kerbschlagzähigkeit erreichen, ohne die Biegesteifigkeit signifikant zu reduzieren
Wood-polymer-composites: Portfolio with completely new properties
Wood K plus was able, in the scope of the COMET-programme to reach an improved notched impact strength without reducing the flexural strength or stiffness, in combining an elastomer component and the selection of suitable wood particles in a Design of Experiment
UPM Specialty Papers and Fiorini co-create a new highly moisture and grease resistant, fibre-based pet food sack
Working in partnership with Fiorini Packaging, the specialist manufacturer of industrial paper sacks, UPM Specialty Papers has co-created a sustainable, fibre-based sack suitable for pet food applications of up to 20 kg. Already available to order from Fiorini, a sample of the new sack will be showcased on the UPM Specialty Papers stand at Interpack 2023
Collaboration project shows: multi-layer packaging can be separated and recycled on an industrial scale
BASF, Krones, SÜDPACK and TOMRA reported about their first collaboration trial, that they were able to completely separate as much as 69 percent of the PET/PE components and partially separate another twelve percent
Neue Kooperationsplattform für eine nachhaltige Textilwirtschaft startet
Ab Mai 2023 wollen die Projektpartner HSNR, DWI - Leibniz-Institut für Interaktive Materialien und das Fraunhofer-Institut für Umwelt-, Sicherheits- und Energietechnik UMSICHT eine Kooperationsplattform betreiben und damit die Hindernisse für eine nachhaltige und umweltfreundliche Textilwirtschaft überwinden
The world’s first wood transistor
Researchers at Linköping University and the KTH Royal Institute of Technology have developed the world’s first transistor made of wood. Their study, published in the journal PNAS, paves the way for further development of wood-based electronics and control of electronic plants
Rashki Launches India’s First Ever Range of Handbags Made from Banana Leather in Its Pursuit to Encourage a Fashionably Kind Way of Life
The fashion company has partnered with Banofi Leather to launch what it claims is India’s first-ever vegan range of handbags as sustainable alternative to animal leather
Asahi Kasei and Microwave Chemical launch joint demonstration project for chemical recycling of polyamide 66 using microwave-based technology
The process utilizes microwaves to depolymerize2 PA66 and directly obtain the monomers hexamethylenediamine (HMD) and adipic acid (ADA), which can then be used to manufacture new PA66
Asahi Kasei: Projekt für chemisches Recycling von PA66 mittels Mikrowellentechnologie – Kooperation mit Microwave Chemical
Neuer Prozess ermöglicht bei wenig Energieaufwand die Extraktion der Monomere Hexamethylendiamin (HMD) und Adipinsäure (ADA), die dann für die Herstellung von neuem PA66 wiederverwendet werden können
NatureWorks and Jabil Collaborate to Offer New Ingeo PLA-based Powder for Selective Laser Sintering 3D Printing Platforms
Renewably sourced biomaterials and lower sintering temperature result in a more sustainable substrate for powder bed fusion technologies requiring less energy use and a carbon footprint 89% smaller than PA-12
Europe needs to urgently prepare for carbon market ‘endgame’
As of 2039, energy companies and energy-intensive industries will only be able to use CO2 allowances which they have previously banked or buy them on the EU carbon market, write Claudia Günther, Michael Pahle, Sebastian Osorio and Simon Quemin
