This is the first step in our ability to be able to supply Carbon Capture grade Polyacetal / POM. I’m not a sustainability expert but seems to me this is heading towards the carbon negative direction. #carboncapture #Celcon #Hostaform #sustainability #environmentalleadership

In line with the last month post regarding publishing the new guide for chemical sector. Now, we (Ricardo plc) with the support of the Chemical Industries Association, has published a new guide, ‘Establishing the environmental impact of chemical products’, to help chemical organizations advance their sustainability journey. This guidance will enable stakeholders to gain a deeper understanding of the significance of LCAs and the prominent role they have to play in driving sustainable innovation. Using #LCA to gain quantifiable insights on how produced products impact the environment from extraction through to disposal, enables organizations to measure, monitor and improve performance in key impact areas. To discuss how you want to use LCAs to support your organization’s objectives, please contact us. #sustainability #greenclaim #lifecycleassessment #chemicalsector #chemicalmanufacturing

#Collaboration is essential to create a world with fully circular plastics. That's why it's great to see our #partners talking about the crucial role of chemical recycling in achieving these #circular ambitions.   Mirjam Mayer, leading Borealis’ entire Circular Economy Solutions (#CES) value chain since 1 January 2024, states the importance of regulation clarity to advance chemical recycling in a recent interview with Sustainable Plastics. In the interview she also mentions how #BlueAlp plays a role in Borealis’ circular ambitions and its complementarity to mechanical recycling:   "[Borealis] holds a majority stake in Belgian recycling company Renasci Oostende, […] which uses BlueAlp low-energy slow cracking technology to produce #pyrolysis oil.'' “Right now, our priority at Renasci is the chemical recycling technology,” said Mayer. “Obviously, chemical recycling has to be complementary to mechanical recycling. But the limitations of mechanical recycling in terms of number of cycles and type of materials mean that we need technology that can produce drop-in qualities we need for more sensitive applications.” For more interesting insights, read the full interview here: https://shorturl.at/iCQRh #Borealis #ChemicalRecycling #BlueAlpTechnology #PyrolysisOil #ValueChain #Parnership

We are excited to announce that #BlueAlp is now a proud member of the The European Petrochemical Association (EPCA).   This membership highlights the growing recognition of advanced recycling technologies as key solutions for a circular economy. As society embraces sustainability, BlueAlp is at the forefront with its innovation to accelerate plastic recycling, resulting in high-quality circular chemical feedstock for the #petrochemical industry.   This year's EPCA theme, "The Power of Action," underlines the urgent need for decisive steps towards a sustainable future. BlueAlp's advanced recycling technology addresses the industry's challenge of balancing #security, #affordability, and #sustainability. To achieve a circular supply of chemicals, it is crucial to reduce reliance on virgin oil and gas and promote feedstock independence. This approach enhances sustainability, and, with BlueAlp's technology, it can be significantly affordable. As we join EPCA, we aim to contribute to the essential dialogue and actions needed for a #lowcarbon economy. At BlueAlp, we are committed to a future where all plastics are circular, ensuring a sustainable and resilient petrochemical industry.   Keen to know more?

🌟 Exciting Announcement! 🌟 We are honored to share that our team has been awarded the prestigious ARPA-E IGNIITE grant for our groundbreaking project on recycling bioplastics! This grant will significantly advance our efforts in developing innovative solutions for a more sustainable and circular plastics economy. Our project aims to revolutionize the bioplastics industry by: ✅ Creating a process to break down mixtures of bio-based plastics in one step. ✅ Producing pure bio-based building blocks for manufacturing new plastics. ✅ Ensuring biogenic carbon stays in circulation and is not lost to landfills or the environment. This support from ARPA-E will enable us to scale our technology and bring about transformative changes in how bioplastics are recycled, reducing environmental impact and promoting sustainability. A heartfelt thank you to ARPA-E for this incredible opportunity and to our amazing team for their dedication and hard work. Together, we are making strides towards a greener and more sustainable future! 🌍♻️ #Innovation #Sustainability #GreenTech #ARPAE #IGNIITE #BioplasticsRecycling #CircularEconomy #EnvironmentalImpact #FutureOfPlastics
