Ecogensus Announces Groundbreaking Reinforced Sustainable Composite Material
The advanced composites are formed using Ecogensus' Dynamic Organic Repolymerization (DOR)™ process, which can transform unsorted, mixed household wastes (including high moisture organics, food waste, etc.) into a new polymeric composite material called EGS-6™
Old mattresses made new: simple chemistry can recycle polyurethane
Together with partners from industry, researchers from Aarhus University have now proven that simple chemistry can do more than just extract important raw materials from polyurethane foam – the most important component can also be reused again and again in new mattresses
Alte Matratzen neu gemacht – Einfache Chemie kann Polyurethan recyceln
Gemeinsam mit Partnern aus der Industrie haben Forscher der Universität Aarhus nun bewiesen, dass mit einfacher Chemie nicht nur wichtige Rohstoffe aus Polyurethanschaum gewonnen werden können - der wichtigste Bestandteil kann auch immer wieder neu verwendet werden
Origin Materials Creates Sustainable PET Bottle Caps, Enabling “All PET Mono-Material” Bottle and Cap Solutions, a Breakthrough in Recycling and Circularity
PET caps are more sustainable than common alternatives because they may be produced with any type of PET, from recycled PET to Origin’s 100% bio-based, carbon-negative virgin PET
BASF publishes Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) study on polyamides from chemically recycled or renewable raw materials in mozzarella packaging
The results demonstrate that significantly lower environmental impacts can be achieved by using flexible multi-layer packaging with a large share of chemically recycled or renewable raw materials
BASF veröffentlicht Ökobilanzstudie zu Polyamiden aus chemisch recycelten oder nachwachsenden Rohstoffen in Mozzarella-Verpackungen
Verglichen mit flexiblen Mehrschichtverpackungen weist das starre Hartschalen-Verpackungssystem in fast allen Kategorien die höchsten potenziellen Umweltauswirkungen auf
Contaminated Plastic Waste Finds New Life via Dissolution Recycling
In April of this year, Trinseo inaugurated its dissolution recycling pilot plant for polycarbonate in the Netherlands. In this article, Trinseo’s Ben Porter explains how the technology works and the role it can play in furthering the circularity of plastics
gr3n to build in Spain – the first-of-a-kind manufacturing plant for microwave assisted depolymerization of PET in partnership with Intecsa Industrial
Both partners will join forces and build a “First-of-a-Kind” (FOAK) manufacturing facility able to produce 40.000 tons of virgin-like PET, commencing EPC phase in Q4-2024 and aiming to be operational in 2027
Pioneering the world’s first high-performance coatings containing phthalic anhydride made from plastic waste
Beckers is collaborating with suppliers to incorporate raw materials, made from recycled plastic, into its paints. The ability to turn waste plastic into new raw materials will promote circularity and reduce emissions
