    Ein Diskussionsbeitrag für eine Kreislaufwirtschaft mit Kunststoffen moderiert von PlasticsEurope Deutschland e.V.

    Mit der erforderlichen Transformation in eine Kreislaufwirtschaft mit Kunststoffen steht die Kunststoffbranche vor einem tiefgreifenden Paradigmenwechsel. Wir möchten diesen Wandel gerne vorantreiben. In der ersten Jahreshälfte 2022 haben im Rahmen einer Initiative von PlasticsEurope Deutschland e. V. ausgewiesene und führende Experten im Bereich der Kreislaufwirtschaft mit Kunststoffen in intensiven Beratungen Handlungsempfehlungen für die im Koalitionsvertrag angekündigte Nationale Kreislaufwirtschaftsstrategie erarbeitet. Plastics Europe Deutschland nahm in diesem Erörterungsprozess ausschließlich eine Moderatorenrolle ein, um Handlungsempfehlungen auf technisch-wissenschaftlicher Basis zu gewährleisten.

    Mit diesem Papier möchten wir einen Diskussionsprozess anstoßen und die Kreislaufwirtschaftsstrategie und somit auch den Transformationspfad aktiv begleiten.

    The new nova-Institute’s market report commissioned by the Bio-based Industries Consortium (BIC) shows macroeconomic effects of the European Bioeconomy in the period from 2008 to 2019. Using data from Eurostat and, where required, nova-Institute’s estimated bio-based shares, turnover and employment numbers of the bioeconomic sectors have been calculated. Even though the latest numbers no longer include the UK, the EU’s bioeconomy turnover remained stable, which has resulted in an increase of around 25% since 2008.

    The chemical technology company Avantium (NL) partnered with nova-Institut GmbH under the framework of the PEFerence project, to perform a full cradle-to-grave Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) for the YXY® Technology, assessing the potential environmental impacts of PEF packaging solutions in comparison to conventional PET packaging. The LCA is performed according to the ISO 14040/44 standard methodology. A critical peer review of the study, including experts of incumbent technologies, was conducted in order to verify whether the LCA met the requirements for methodology, data, interpretation, and reporting. This brochure summarizes the main aspects about the environmental sustainability of PEF-based bottles.

    The Biomass Utilisation Factor (BUF) is a new metric combining cascading use and production efficiency into one indicator to investigate the circularity of materials for the circular bioeconomy. Cascading use captures the repeated use of the original biomass, either for the same or a different purpose. Production efficiency looks at how much of the biomass input is actually transformed into useful products or materials.

    The BUF can serve not only as an indicator for the circular economy principle of keeping materials in use, but also act as an efficient tool for stakeholders and policy makers to identify options that maximize biomass utilisation and keep materials in use for longer. In light of recent political developments in Europe, the BUF can serve as a tool that provides additional insights for achieving sustainable carbon cycles or help to respect the cascading principle of biomass utilisation.

    Advanced recycling technologies are developing at a fast pace, with new players constantly appearing on the market, from start-ups to giants and everything in between – new plants are being built, new capacities are being achieved, and new partnerships are established. Due to these developments, it is difficult to keep track of everything. The report “Mapping of advanced recycling technologies for plastics waste” aims to clear up this jungle of information providing a structured, in-depth overview and insight. It has an exclusive focus on profiling available technologies and providers of advanced recycling including the addition of new technologies and updated/revised profiles.

    P.S.: All you want to know about advanced recycling technologies and renewable chemicals, building-blocks, monomers, and polymers based on recycling: Hear about it at the Advanced Recycling Conference (ARC), 28-29 November 2023, Cologne, Germany (hybrid event).

It has an exclusive focus on profiling available technologies and providers of advanced recycling including the addition of new technologies and updated/revised profiles.

     

    Further information:

    The new report “Mapping of advanced recycling – Providers, technologies, and partnerships” differs from the old report “Chemical Recycling – Status, Trends and Challenges” as follows:

    • All technology provider profiles from the old report included + updated to 2022.
    • Overall >100 technologies and providers (vs. >70 technologies and providers in the old report)
    • Extensive introductory part on polymer types, demand of different polymer types, waste fractions, political framework, position papers, technologies, LCAs, associations and waste management companies are no longer included in this report

    In summary, this report is suitable for interested readers who have already dealt with the advanced recycling topic and are looking for an up-to-date overview of all identified providers and a detailed description of the technologies.

    Rohstoffe werden knapp, sowohl Metalle wie auch Mineralien. Nur erneuerbarer Kohlenstoff ist praktisch unbegrenzt verfügbar. Daher werden Kunststoffe in Zukunft noch wichtiger sein als heute, und deshalb müssen sie so nachhaltig wie möglich gestaltet werden: aus erneuerbarem Kohlenstoff und voll recycelbar.

    In an exploratory scenario, this study investigates the CO₂ emission reductions that can be achieved in the global chemical and derived material industries if the entire demand for embedded carbon is met solely and exclusively via CO₂ instead of from fossil sources. Major simplifications are used to achieve transparency and comprehensibility of the issue. Methanol (CH3OH) is considered to cover the needs for hydrocarbons for chemicals and derived materials among the various chemical intermediates as a representative pathway for renewable carbon. It is a plausible scenario to assign methanol a central role in supplying the chemical industry of the future.

    The GHG emissions of CCU-based methanol could be 67 to 77 % lower compared to emissions from releasing embedded carbon of fossil fuels, when using current energy supply based on photovoltaics. With improvements in renewable energy production, the reduction could increase to levels between 96 and 100 %.

    Natural PHAs are a class of materials that exist in nature for over millions of years. These materials are both bio-based and biodegradable, similar to other natural materials such as cellulose, proteins and starch. Natural PHAs are produced by an extensive variety of microorganisms through bacterial fermentation. Due to its high performance, biocompatibility, biodegradability and green credentials, the PHA family has a large design space and accommodates a wide range of market applications, as a broad variety of different polymers can be produced and blended. The potential of PHAs is enormous.

    The report is a must-read for all those interested in the very latest in PHAs, as developers, producers or, above all, users. The information on the companies described has been checked with each of them and is state-of-the-art for February 2022.
    Author of “Mimicking Nature” is Prof. Jan Ravenstijn, who has been working intensively on the topic of PHAs for 20 years, is the author of numerous publications and co-founder of the PHA industry association GO!PHA (www.gopha.org). The report is a joint publication of GO!PHA and nova-Institute (www.nova-institute.eu).

Kunststoffe sind wichtiger denn je für eine nachhaltige Zukunft. Alle Technologien stehen zur Verfügung, um Kunststoffe umweltfreundlich zu gestalten und im Kreislauf zu fahren. Wie können wir die Gesellschaft wieder davon überzeugen, dass eine Welt mit den richtigen Kunststoffen komfortabler, ressourcenschonender und klimafreundlicher sein wird als ohne?

The result is a rating system with the 13 social, economic and environmental indicators, which was used to compare practices in the wood sector and develop a catalogue of good practices. This document describes the 13 criteria in detail and provides an example of their application.
