In mid-April, Alex Thielen, editor of bioplastics MAGAZINE sat down with Mateusz (Mat) Wielopolski and John Sewell who host the podcast Plastic. Climate. Future. to talk about bioplastics MAGAZINE, the concept of renewable carbon and bioplastics overal
UPM Biochemicals further expands distribution network for its new sustainable Renewable Functional Fillers (RFF)
UPM Biochemicals announced today that it has further expanded its distribution network in Europe and Turkey for its UPM BioMotion™ Renewable Functional Fillers (RFF), an innovative new category of bio-based products
Bio-based content, compostable plastics, and chemical recycling – many opportunities for more innovation and sustainability in the new Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR)
The Renewable Carbon Initiative’s position paper highlights chances for the EU to lead the way to a sustainable packaging industry and to promote innovation
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
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
Norwegian partners with Norsk e-Fuel to build new e-fuel plant in Norway
Norwegian has announced a landmark partnership with Norsk e-Fuel to build the world’s first full scale e-fuel plant in Mosjøen, Norway. The plant will produce sustainable aviation fuels (SAF), marking an important milestone towards Norwegian's target of 45 percent emissions reduction by 2030
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
Smart Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) Technologies and Materials Defossilise the Economy
With a current capacity of over 1.3 million tonnes for CO₂-based products and steadily growing demand, smart Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) technologies are helping to establish CO2 as a renewable carbon feedstock. Many of these innovations have been introduced at the Conference on CO2-based Fuels and Chemicals 2023
