Textiles Mikroplastik: Neuer Standard beurteilt erstmals Faserfreisetzung, Biodegradation und Ökotoxizität
Studien haben gezeigt, dass beim Waschen von Textilien Fasern in der Größenordnung von Mikroplastik im Waschwasser freigesetzt werden, die von Kläranlagen nur unzureichend zurückgehalten werden können
IKEA to use bio-based glue for reduced climate footprint
To reduce the climate footprint of board production, IKEA is switching from fossil-based to bio-based glues. Today, 5% of the climate footprint of the total IKEA value chain is connected to the use of glue in board materials. With this change, the goal is to reduce fossil-based glue use by 40% and greenhouse gas emissions from glue by 30% by FY30
Cross-linked chitosan/tannin extract as a biodegradable and repulpable coating for paper with excellent oil-resistance, gas barrier and UV-shielding
A new study shows chitosan-/tanninextract based epoxy as biodegradable and recyclable coating for paper - with excellent water, oil and UV-aging resistance
Production of Bioplastics Will Triple by 2027 and Reach 6.3 Million Tonnes
AIMPLAS, the Plastics Technology Centre, inaugurated the eighth edition of its International Seminar on Biopolymers and Sustainable Composites, where nearly 20 speakers discussed the challenges and opportunities facing the bioplastics industry, and presented their innovations and success stories
Producing bioplastics from wastewater
Wastewater treatment plants can do more than just wastewater treatment. In the future, they should also recover resources. One approach that researchers at Eawag are pursuing is the conversion of the organic carbon contained in wastewater into bioplastics with the help of bacteria
Pathways towards circular plastics in Europe — good practice examples from countries, business and citizens
Plastics play an essential role in modern society. However, their value chain is currently unsustainable, contributing to the generation of climate changing emissions and increasing waste and pollution. Reducing such impacts while retaining plastics’ usefulness requires a shift towards a more circular and sustainable plastics system. This shift can be accelerated by scaling up good practice examples and making improvements across the plastics value chain
BASF contributes CO2 capture technology to Japan’s first demonstration of blue hydrogen and ammonia production from domestically produced natural gas
Japan’s first demonstration project for the production of blue hydrogen/ammonia from regional natural gas paves the way for the implementation of Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) in domestic depleted gas fields and the use of hydrogen for power generation and ammonia production
CO2-Abscheidungstechnologie ist BASF-Beitrag zum ersten Pilotprojekt zur Produktion von blauem Wasserstoff und Ammoniak aus regionalem Erdgas in Japan
Das erste Pilotprojekt für die Produktion von blauem Wasserstoff/Ammoniak in Japan aus lokal gefördertem Erdgas ermöglicht die konsequente Umsetzung von Kohlenstoffabscheidung, -verwertung und -speicherung in regionalen ausgebeuteten Gasfeldern und die Nutzung von Wasserstoff
