🛑 Single-use plastics are one of the most relevant problems of our modern way of life, because they cannot be recycled or reused and consequently represent a massive waste of our natural resources. 📣 Bruno Ravanello and Mónica Gaspar Simões, Senior Researchers at AlmaScience, point the way forward: paper/wood and cellulose-based products are becoming popular due to their origin, properties, cost, and recyclability. ❓ Learn more about how AlmaScience is taking up this challenge, developing cellulose and paper-based solutions that turn today's industry needs into tomorrow's products. 🌐 Read here: https://lnkd.in/dUxnZiPv #BeyondPaper #ResearchAndDevelopment  #PrintedElectronics #GreenElectronics #OpenInnovation #SustainablePackaging

🌟 Proud moment for AlmaScience!  We’re thrilled to share the innovative work of our startup, PaperWeight AI, which has just been featured in an article by EuroShop – The World´s No. 1 Retail Trade Fair! 🌱 Born from cutting-edge research and sustainable innovation happening at AlmaScience, PaperWeight AI is revolutionizing retail with paper-based weight sensors for smart shelves. These sensors effectively turn each shelf in a store into a #InternetOfThings device, enabling smart retail operations at an unparalleled cost, while aligning perfectly with our commitment to sustainability. By merging advanced technology with eco-friendly materials, PaperWeight AI is paving the way for smarter and greener retail solutions. We couldn’t be prouder of the strides they’re making! ➡ Follow the link below to read more about this exciting development. #ResearchAndDevelopment  #SustainableRetail  #SustainableInnovation #PrintedElectronics #GreenElectronics #IoT #RetailTech #SmartShelves #EcoFriendly

🌤 Summer is coming to an end, and everyone is getting ready to step up their game until the end of the year.   🤔 🌿 While we still feel the sun on our skin, let’s take a moment to reflect: how do you orchestrate a more sustainable lifestyle that could, step by step, become second nature? 🏖 🏔 🥘 From slow travel to slow fashion, from architecture to food, learn all about it here: https://lnkd.in/dFjZFhdq 🌊 If you missed the first part of our Sustainable Summertime, catch it here: https://lnkd.in/dcvrrriT #BeyondPaper #preserve #ocean #earth #summertime #sustanability #sustainable #slowfashion #slowtravel #camping #citybreaks #climate #socialjustice #design #innovation #biodesign #ines_ayer #manuellima #emergencemagazine

BRIGHT converts mechanical energy into electrical energy by harnessing movement and vibrations. 🚘 In this interview, Luís Pereira, Chief Technical Officer for AlmaScience, answers key questions about the international research project BRiGHT - Cellulose based Bio-foam for Interactive Energy Harvester , helping us wrap our heads around one more groundbreaking technology: BRIGHT promises to capture the vibrations of your car seat to turn them into sustainable energy. 🌐 Read all about it: https://lnkd.in/dmdb4HhY #BeyondPaper #OpenInnovation #SustainableInnovation #Technology #ResearchAndDevelopment #GreenEnergy #PrintedElectronics

💧 GELA, da AlmaScience: uma fresca revolução na costa da Praia da Caparica. 🥂 Uma bebida morna, seja cerveja, vinho, licor ou refrigerante, não é apenas um crime gustativo, é uma ofensa social. 🍷 GELA é tecnologia de filme de super-heróis que reverte as fracas propriedades térmicas do vidro e dá às garrafas um impulso de arrefecimento. 💯 GELA é feito inteiramente de celulose sustentável e acelera o arrefecimento, de modo que uma garrafa fica gelada em poucos minutos com este dispositivo 100% reciclável e compostável. #BeyondPaper #Inovação #Sustentabilidade #CoLAB #FromFossilToForest

💧 GELA by AlmaScience is a revolution on ice at the shore of Costa da Caparica Beach. 🍺 A lukewarm drink, be it a beer, wine, liquor, or soft drink, is not just a gustative crime, it’s a social offense. 🍷 GELA is the superhero technology that reverses glass’s poor thermal properties and gives bottles a cooling boost. 💯 Made entirely out of sustainable cellulose, it powers cooling acceleration, majestically speeding up the process, so a bottle turns icy cold within minutes with a 100% recyclable and compostable device. 🌐 Follow the link to learn all about it: https://lnkd.in/dtTsKDy7 #BeyondPaper #OpenInnovation #SustainableInnovation #Technology #ResearchAndDevelopment #SustainablePackaging #FromFossilToForest

📣 Here's AlmaScience's July newsletter! Take a few minutes to celebrate ♻ Plastic Free July with us and learn what AlmaScience is doing to help fight the single-use plastic problem. ➡ Also: a look back on DRUPA 2024 + sharing collaborative research experience with the Innovation College of Korea #BeyondPaper #Innovation #OpenInnovation #Technology #ResearchAndDevelopment #DRUPA2024 #SustainablePackaging #PrintTech

😱 It is estimated that, of the 380 million tons of plastic produced yearly, around 50% are destined for single-use packaging. There is an urgent need to find sustainable alternatives to non-reusable or non-recyclable fossil-based plastics that negatively impact the environment, wildlife, human health, and the economy. 💡 Junior Researcher Filipe Silva de Matos and Senior Researcher Mónica Gaspar Simões explain how AlmaScience is helping tackle this issue by creating innovative, smart and sustainable products that are eco-friendly, from the choice of raw materials used – prioritizing the use of cellulosic materials and/or paper-based – right down to production methods, which aim for performance, durability, biocompatibility, biodegradability and/or recyclability/circularity. #BeyondPaper #SustainableTech #OpenInnovation #ResearchAndDevelopment #SustainablePackaging
