Innovation Booster Plastics for Zero Emission

https://lnkd.in/dZ52yZaB see our Best-Case Video with Sophie Renot from Mammut Sports Group AG and understand, how they have benefited from the Innovation Booster Programme, made possible by Innosuisse #swissinnovationbooster again, shout-out to Anja Hürlimann for the video.

https://lnkd.in/dsrQ9wtS our Best-Case Video with Jessica Farda from noriware is finally online. we are more than proud that together with Innosuisse we have been able to support noriware on it´s successful journey and we are so curious to see, what is going to be next for them. #swissinnovationbooster shout-out to Anja Hürlimann for the video.

🌟 Innovation Booster: Plastics for Zero Emission Annual Networking Conference 2024 🌟 Another awesome event that we were able to hold, due to the support of Innosuisse   A total of 11 of our funded projects presented their challenges, work and results to an audience of academic and industrial participants. from bacterial cellulose-based packaging coatings and additives in adhesives, Treeless Pack to recycling of contaminated PET-waste, Autoneum processing waste bales with AI, UpCircle sustainable coffee vending machines, Thermoplan AG energy consumption reduced new GMT process, Mitsubishi Chemical Advanced Materials recycling mixed plastic waste without emissions, Grensol Group Lightweight honeycomb crash absorbers made from recycled carbon fibre, Connova Group, V Carbon Recycling of epocy based thermoset composites, Composite Recycling Huntsman Corporation A window to zero emission society, smartwindows AG To High-performance bio-based durable water repellent, Mammut Sports Group AG All these projects were run together with academic partners from OST – Ostschweizer Fachhochschule, Fachhochschule Nordwestschweiz FHNW Polymer Technologies @ FHNW, ZHAW Zürcher Hochschule für Angewandte Wissenschaften, KATZ and HEIG-VD   Beside hosting the event and providing us with such a great location, Sika also introduced their Net-Zero Strategy to all participants.   With Innovation Booster Carbon Removal a new IB used the stage to present their program to industry and academia. All in all, it was a very successful event with many constructive discussions, expanded networks, positive feedback from all participants.   We are already looking forward to hosting a final Annual Networking Conference next year to wrap up our funding period, together with all the funded project teams and lots of good food. #swissinnovationbooster #Sustainability #Innovation #ZeroEmissions #CircularEconomy #GreenFuture

The video shoot with noriware is ticked off. See soon in the moving picture what Noriware has to say about the Innovation Booster and her project. Thanks to Jessica Farda for the entertaining time and the fun shoot. And big shout-out also to Anja Hürlimann from video-geschichten for the professional production. Thank you, Innosuisse for making this possible. #swissinnovationbooster

Get a short impression of the Innovation Booster Plastics for Zero Emission and its latest Ideation Workshop in Lausanne. big shout-out to Raphael Hatem and Salomé DELEAVAL from Swiss Plastics Cluster for the local support and the instant video as well as to Aurélie Moser 🚀 and Geraldine Mercier, PhD from Bambooster for the methodical support.

Wow, what a great ideation workshop we held this week Wednesday at tibits in Lausanne together with Bambooster! #swissinnovationbooster More than 40 participants, including representatives from EPFL, ZHAW Zürcher Hochschule für Angewandte Wissenschaften, Polymer Technologies @ FHNW, OST – Ostschweizer Fachhochschule, HES-SO Haute école spécialisée de Suisse occidentale, HSLU Hochschule Luzern, Scuola universitaria professionale della Svizzera italiana (SUPSI), KATZ. In addition to large companies such as EMS Group, Sika, ARBURG Switzerland, Hamilton, and 3A Composites, there were also fine, highly innovative companies such as CORKBRICK EUROPE, JACOMET Ski, LUUUP, Bloom Biorenewables and Auftriib, to name just a few of the participants. Aurélie Moser 🚀 and Geraldine Mercier, PhD from Bambooster once again led the event confidently and with great vigour and the feedback from the participants at the end of the event showed that all participants were able to make many new and helpful contacts, that they were able to deepen their innovative ideas, that they gained a deeper understanding of the challenges and - very importantly - that the expectations of the event were met by all participants, and for many even exceeded. It will be interesting to see which 5 of the 11 challenges presented will be chosen by the jury. These will then each receive CHF 25,000 in funding from Innosuisse and will be able to pursue the various solutions further. Alongside Aurélie Moser 🚀 and Geraldine Mercier, PhD from Bambooster, as well as Raphael Hatem and Salomé DELEAVAL from Swiss Plastics Cluster, we would like to express our thanks to all participants for their great and constructive cooperation. 

The pre-evaluation workshop for our current 6th call is over and we are pleased to announce a total of 10 exciting challenges that we will be initiating as part of the upcoming Ideation Workshop on 21 August at Tibits in Lausanne in cooperation with Aurélie Moser 🚀 and Geraldine Mercier, PhD from Bambooster. From a digital collection bag to 100% biodegradable sandwich structures, biopolymers made from macroalgae to 100% recyclable skis made from stones (and various other challenges), you will find an overview of the current challenges here: https://lnkd.in/eE5ZurfY We kindly invite you to register for the workshop on 21 August in Lausanne and work with the implementation partners to solve their challenges.  Participation is free of charge and it is sure to be an exciting and informative workshop. https://lnkd.in/dvqWXqSt join the workshop and meet, among others Andreas Trunz from Auftriib, 3A Composites, Philip Scholten from Bloom Biorenewables, Curdin Wick from Hamilton, Lydie Krüger from JURA Materials, Mátyás Csiky and Bojan Martin from Open Climate Solutions, Noah Munzinger from Sika, Simon Jacomet from JACOMET Ski and Kolja Kuse from TechnoCarbon as well as representatives from Academic Partners, such as Polymer Technologies @ FHNW (Christian Brauner, Julian Kupski), OST – Ostschweizer Fachhochschule (Gion Andrea Barandun, Pierre Jousset), KATZ (Rémy Stoll, Panayota Tsotra), inspire AG (Daniel Werner), HSLU Hochschule Luzern (Priska Herzog), HES-SO Valais-Wallis (Roger Marti), ZHAW Zürcher Hochschule für Angewandte Wissenschaften (Winkler Martin, Christof Brändli) #swissinnovationbooster Innosuisse

Can you bend stones without them breaking? (Spoiler: yes, you can) How do you store CO2 in recycled concrete? How do the Swiss plastics and textile industries deal with the 2050 climate targets? Can you make a shoe out of CO2? (Spoiler: yap) How can macroalgae be used to regenerate ecosystems and permanently remove carbon? These and many other exciting questions were discussed at yesterday's conference "Exploring Negative Emission Technologies in the Plastic Industry and Beyond" at the Empa Academy in Dübendorf. Close to 50 participants found their way to Dübendorf and were able to exchange views on these and other topics. A big thank you goes to the representatives of Bundesamt für Umwelt BAFU, Empa, EPFL, KUNSTSTOFF.swiss, neustark, Swiss Textiles, On, TechnoCarbonTechnologies Switzerland GmbH, KohlenKraft, RECOAL AG, HYPHEN GLOBAL AG, V Carbon and Open Climate Solutions and especially to the co-organisers at Innovation Booster Carbon Removal, sus.lab | ETH and Empa for their great support.
