As an independent research institute, it supports companies \u2013 particularly from the chemical, plastics and materials industries \u2013 in the use of renewable carbon derived from biomass, direct CO\u2082 utilisation (CCU) and recycling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a multidisciplinary team of scientists, nova-Institute participates in international innovation projects and provides science-based management consulting. The institute follows a holistic approach: its experts analyse which technologies and raw materials are suitable for specific products, in which markets their application is feasible, which regulatory frameworks apply, how sustainable the solutions are and how they can be successfully positioned in the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on these analyses, the team develops tailored strategies to support the transformation from fossil to renewable carbon. Around 50 experts from various disciplines work together to drive the defossilisation of industry \u2013 for a climate-neutral future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More information:&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nova-institute.eu\/\">www.nova-institute.eu<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.renewable-carbon.eu\/\">www.renewable-carbon.eu<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The\u00a0Advanced Recycling Conference (ARC) 2026\u00a0will showcase hands-on recycling solutions for plastics, polymers and other materials, bringing together practical industrial experience, technological innovation and cutting-edge research from across the recycling value chain.
