ICS Cool Energy delivered an energy-efficient cooling solution as part of its FLEX membership to a plastics manufacturer to help it reduce energy costs and optimise performance.
Bioplastics are starting to be seen as sustainable alternatives to petrochemical-based plastics. Because they're derived from bio-based feedstocks, they can be used to reduce dependency on fossil fuels and minimise the environmental impact.
REWIND aims to develop technologies to dismantle wind turbine blades and implement new methods for composites repurposing and recycling to improve their circularity and increase the industrial applications of end-of-life composites.
A new survey by Resource Recycling Systems reveals that EPS packaging in North America is recycled at a rate of 31%, diverting 168 million pounds from landfills. This mainly occurs through alternative B2B streams.
The POLYMEER project aims to establish a sustainable bio-based value chain for bioplastic products. This will convert wet brewers' spent grain into high-added value material, diversifying the material solutions that can replace traditional plastics.
Chadwick prepares to bring its new range of sustainable lidding to the Scandinavian market at Scanpack in Sweden. The highlight is their latest rPET pre-cut lidding films, designed to enhance sustainability and support plastic packaging regulations.
Editor Rebekah Jordan caught up with UPM about their goals for a fossil-free future. Their plans include transforming wood-based materials into biochemicals, with its German biorefinery producing renewable alternatives to fossil-based chemicals.
Titan Resource Management has teamed up with the Proton Group to create a circular economy opportunity for their clients. This collaboration is set to bring significant benefits to the hospitality industry, from reducing waste to optimising costs.
In an effort to develop a national network of plastic waste-2-oil systems, QM Recycled Energy (QMRE) has installed a comprehensive pre-treatment system. This ensures that the oil produced from the plastic waste gets purified properly.
Editor Rebekah Jordan spoke to André Lang-Herfurth, SEA ME (zerooo), about the environmental benefits of reusable PET bottles compared to single-use plastic bottles.
Packaging Europe announced the return of its flagship event, the Sustainable Packaging Summit 2024, bringing together leaders, innovators and changemakers from across the entire value chain.
