From Materials and Models: How AI is Revolutionising the Circular EconomyAlder Bioinsights News Review: Feedstocks Issue 160, July 2025
European efforts to achieve net-zero targets heavily rely on biomass, but consistent and robust policy support is crucial, with organizations like the Renewable Carbon Initiative (RCI) advocating for fair regulations that treat biomass for materials equally with bioenergy, particularly by adapting forest biomass rules and avoiding caps on primary agricultural biomass
Biodegradable biocomposite pots reinforced with mercerized sugarcane bagasse for sustainable agriculture and plastic waste mitigation
Egyptian researchers developed biocomposites for the use of natural pots in greenhouses by integrating natural fillers and pretreatment techniques to develop sustainable alternatives to traditional plastic pots
New chemistry can extract virgin-grade materials from wind turbine blades in one process
Researchers from Aarhus University and the Danish Technological Institute have developed a chemical process that can disassemble the epoxy composite of wind turbine blades and simultaneously extract intact glass fibres as well as one of the epoxy resin's original building blocks in a high quality. The recovered materials could potentially be used in the production of new blades
Neues chemisches Verfahren zur Gewinnung neuer Materialien aus den Rotorblättern von Windkraftanlagen in einem einzigen Prozess
Das neue chemische Verfahren ist nicht auf Windturbinenblätter beschränkt, sondern funktioniert bei vielen verschiedenen so genannten faserverstärkten Epoxidverbundwerkstoffen, einschließlich einiger Materialien, die mit besonders teuren Kohlenstofffasern verstärkt sind
ISO 16128’s Growing Impact on the Cosmetics Ingredients Industry
In an effort to provide standardization around the definition of “natural,” various certification bodies started to appear (e.g., Cosmos, Ecocert, and Nature) and companies began to be required to list their ingredients to varying degrees
