Switzerland\u2019s largest retail company, Migros, and its subsidiary, Mibelle Group, have launched a new range of cleaning products, containing LanzaTech ethanol made from recycled pollution.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Beijing Shougang LanzaTech New Energy Science & Technology Co., Ltd. a joint venture between carbon recycler, LanzaTech, Shougang Group, a leading Chinese iron and steel producer, Shougang FUND, DEHUI group and its New Zealand partner, TangMing, has been producing ethanol from recycled steel mill emissions in China, since 2018. Over 80 Tons of this ethanol, has been shipped to Europe and used in the Migros Plus Oeko Power and Potz cleaning ranges in Mibelle Group\u2019s portfolio. These products are now on sale in Migros supermarkets in Switzerland.<\/p>\n

Interest in LanzaTech\u2019s carbon recycling technology sprang from Mibelle Group\u2019s desire to keep fresh fossil resources in the ground, protect biodiversity and avoid land use change. Independent life cycle analysis was undertaken by Swiss sustainability group, Carbotech AG, and the approach has received support from experts at WWF in Switzerland. \u201cThe use of fossil fuels must be avoided. Where this is not possible, it makes sense to include greenhouse gases in products so that the gases do not contribute to global warming and climate change,\u201d says Christoph Meili, a specialist in life cycle assessments at WWF Switzerland.<\/p>\n

While today\u2019s announcement sees the launch of products containing ethanol made from recycled carbon, the Mibelle Group have a vision to include recycled carbon into more products in their portfolio.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are also looking at bringing packaging to the market that can be produced using the same technology,\u201d says Luigi Pedrocchi, CEO of Mibelle Group. \u201cI am very proud of the Mibelle Group\u2019s efforts to produce more sustainably.\u201d<\/p>\n

Today, LanzaTech is working with conversion partners across the supply chain to use chemical grade ethanol for the production of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) for packaging applications. In addition, LanzaTech is developing direct routes for the production of commodity chemicals from gas emissions to ensure further carbon reductions relative to fossil pathways.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe team at Mibelle Group has a strong sustainability vision for their products and we are pleased to support them on this journey,\u201d says LanzaTech CEO, Jennifer Holmgren. \u201cToday marks an important milestone in our goal to create a new carbon economy, locking waste carbon into new material cycles and making single use carbon a thing of the past. Thanks to our partnership with Mibelle Group, we can now choose to clean our homes with products that help clean our skies! This is the circular economy in action, an enabler to a future where there is no such thing as carbon waste.\u201d<\/p>\n
