Plast Center Danmark

Plastic waste is one of the biggest threats to our planet today, but it is precisely this waste that also offers great potential. By #recycling and reintegrating plastic back into the value chain, completely new opportunities, new industries and products arise. Discover these opportunities at our Pre-Fakuma B2B online networking event: - Meet industry leaders and innovators - Learn about the latest innovations & projects from top keynote speakers - Get to know participants of the Fakuma "International Trade Fair for Plastics Processing" to meet them at B2B meetings at the trade fair in presence 🗓️ Dates: 08.10.24, 10:00 - 11:00 a.m. 09.10.24, 12:00 - 13:00 p.m.   Register now and actively shape the future of plastic recycling! https://lnkd.in/dVhW-KzE #PlasticRecycling #CircularEconomy #Sustainability #Innovations European Innovation Council and SMEs Executive Agency (EISMEA) European Commission (DG Grow) European Cluster Collaboration Platform (ECCP) CENTIMFE - Centro Tecnológico da Indústria de Moldes, Ferramentas Especiais e Plásticos Plast Center Danmark Clúster de Materials Avançats de Catalunya Wirtschaftsförderung Raum Heilbronn GmbH POLYMERIS

🌍 COP Project: Active in Aarhus, Gdansk, and Rostock! 🌍 We are thrilled to share updates from the Circular Ocean-bound Plastic (COP) Project as we dive into practical activities in our three pilot cities: Aarhus, Gdansk, and Rostock. Our local partners are on the ground, working hard to collect and analyse ocean-bound plastic waste, with a focus on understanding waste patterns over the next year. Here’s what we’re up to: 🔹 Aarhus, Denmark: In collaboration with Aarhus municipality, we have started to collect and analyse waste from the SeaProtectorOne barrier from All in On Green, which is installed in the canal to efficiently gather ocean-bound plastic. Our local partner, Plast Center Danmark, is conducting in-depth analysis of the collected waste to explore its properties and potential recycling avenues. 🔹 Gdansk, Poland: In a unique community initiative, residents are invited to use free kayaks to collect a bin of waste. This initiative, coordinated with City of Gdansk - Gdansk Sports Center and the University of Gdansk, allows the public to directly contribute to our cleanup efforts while enjoying a day on the water. 🔹 Rostock, Germany: The Universität Rostock and Leibniz-Institut für Ostseeforschung Warnemünde (IOW) have installed a port bin in the Rostock City Harbour, efficiently capturing waste. Recently, we engaged the community with our first public port bin emptying and Q&A session, fostering greater awareness and involvement. Upcoming Event: 📅 Join us at the HanseSail Festival from August 8-11! The University of Rostock and IOW will be representing the COP project, offering fun and educational activities for children and families. Come and see real waste collected in the Rostock Habour and learn about the impact of plastic waste and how we can all contribute to cleaner oceans. Stay tuned for more insights and results as we work towards a cleaner South Baltic Sea! #COPforCleanSeas #InterregSouthBaltic #SailingTogether #CommunityAction #HanseSail2024

We are proud to announce the official launch of the Circular Ocean-bound Plastic (COP) project, supported by Interreg South Baltic Programme ! In collaboration with partners from Denmark, Sweden, Germany, and Poland we are addressing the pressing issue of plastic pollution in the South Baltic Sea.    Through this project, we aim to identify challenges and opportunities linked to ocean-bound plastic waste, with a strong focus on innovative collection and recycling methods. Our collective efforts will pave the way for the development of effective solutions and best practices in the collection, recycling, and reuse of ocean-bound plastic waste from urban areas in the region.    Join us as we work towards a cleaner South Baltic Sea! Together with our partners – Clean, Plast Center Danmark, Ocean Plastic Forum, Sustainable Business Hub, Leibniz-Institut für Ostseeforschung Warnemünde, Universität Rostock, Uniwersytet Gdański, Gdansk Water Foundation, and @Gdansk Sports Center – we are dedicated to mapping the challenges and opportunities for the management of ocean-bound plastic waste. #COPforCleanSeas #CircularOceanPlastic #SailingTogether #InterregSouthBaltic #EU https://lnkd.in/dgEMKeQW

VELKOMMEN til ny samarbejdspartner. Plast Center Danmark og Dansk Materiale Netværk byder officielt velkommen til vores nye konsulent og samarbejdspartner. Kirsten Lykke er ekspert i polymer- og emballageteknologi. Hun hjælper såvel emballage- som fødevareproducenter med løsning af tekniske udfordringer. Dette indebærer eksempelvis at styre uden om de mange faldgruber, der kan være forbundet med et skift fra traditionelle fleksible emballager til emballager med lave EPR-afgifter (bæredygtige løsninger). Kirsten har bl.a. arbejdet 20 år som udviklingschef hos Amcor Flexibles og er uddannet civilingeniør, kemi fra DTU. Har du brug for at gøre brug af Kirstens store viden om emballager, så træffes hun som følger: https://lnkd.in/d62XNBhM
