We're honored to be featured in SPCI Svenska Pappers- och Cellulosaingeniörsföreningen’s leading industry magazine! 📰💼 The article delves into FineCell's journey from doctoral research at KTH to a growing startup, highlighting our unique approach to creating cellulose fibrils that offers versatility for various applications in cosmetics, paints and coatings, thin films, and beyond. Key highlights from the article include: 1. Innovation Roots: our roots in doctoral research have led to patents, theses, and numerous publications, showcasing our commitment to pushing the boundaries of cellulose technology. 2. Strategic Partnerships: we're proud to have secured investment from Metsä Spring, a testament to their confidence in our vision for a sustainable future. This partnership not only provides vital financial support but also opens doors to collaboration with other industry leaders. 3. Innovative Solutions: unlike existing cellulose fibril products that are often dispersions with low solid contents already before use, our CellOx cellulose fibril can be made dry and easily dispersible (by using common homogenizers) to reconstruct the gels/dispersions with various benefits. Our solutions also provide formulators with the freedom to customize their formulations with ease. 4. Scaling for Success: with the CellOx process, we're poised to scale production to meet the growing demand for cellulose fibrils. 5. Synergy and Sustainability: discussions are underway for potential co-location with a pulp mill, leveraging synergies in waste management and resource utilization to further enhance our sustainability efforts. Join us in our journey of innovation and growth! Together with our partners and supporters, we're shaping the future of cellulose technology and unlocking new possibilities across industries. 💪🚀 #Innovation #Cellulose #Partnerships #Sustainability #FutureOfWork #FineCell #Nanotechnology

Did you know ? (36) 𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝘃𝘀 𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗯𝘂𝘁𝗲𝗱 We saw in the previous sketches that there are different possible chains of custody, preserving or blending the specific characteristics of the inputs. #Terminology therefore needs to be adapted to avoid mixing up concepts and misleading stakeholders : ✅ -𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 The suffix "-based" is used when the characteristics, whether preserved or blended, are 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 for each individual product. ✅ -𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗯𝘂𝘁𝗲𝗱 The suffix "-allocated" is used when the input characteristics cannot, or only partially, be found in each manufactured item, but are redistributed/attributed at batch level (production batch, production site, production period) and therefore 𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗱 for each individual product. #massbalance #biobased #recycled #OKbiobased #OKrecycled TÜV AUSTRIA Belgium

Braskem sponsored the latest edition of the Bioplastics Market Watch Report by the Plastics Industry Association. The report provides the latest market data, market growth figures, policy implications, and consumer perceptions affecting bioplastics businesses today. The 2024 report was released last week at NPE tradeshow in Orlando, Florida. Braskem was present at the event and showcased their advancements in bioplastic polymers such as I'm green™ bio-based polyethylene and our Wenew recycled grades of polypropylene and polyethylene. The full report is available for a charge, unless you are a PLASTICS (Plastics Industry Association) Member or attended the Report launch.

𝗡𝗘𝗪 𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗝𝗘𝗖𝗧 | Recycling pathways for single-use flexible plastic bags in pharmaceutical applications We're excited to share progress from our consortium, which comprises key partners such as Janssen-Biologics, Wittenburg BV, RENOLIT Healthcare Solutions, Avantor Sciences, Thermo Fisher, Polymer Science Park, Bristol Myers Squibb, BioBTX and Netherlands Foreign Investment Agency (NFIA) on developing recycling pathways for single-use flexible plastic bags in pharmaceutical settings. Our collaborative effort is focused on sustainable end-of-life solutions for these materials, which are rich in recyclable polyethylene (PE). Phase 1 insights have revealed that both mechanical and chemical recycling methods hold promise after the removal of single-use assemblies from the bioreactor bags. Mechanical recycling has been identified as a low CO2 impact route for creating new packaging, while chemical recycling could provide new building blocks for circular production. The next phase aims to expand our business case, requiring more end users to join the initiative and a waste handler partner for decontamination services. This expansion is crucial for the economic viability of the recycling process and compliance with regulatory standards. ➡️ For more information or to join us, we invite you to reach out and connect with us #sustainability #pharma #recyclinginnovation #circulareconomy #circularplastics J&J Innovative Medicine Nederland TNO

Breaking with the need for virgin material in packaging ♻ Today's practice of virgin plastic for packaging in the #pharma industry is a driver of waste and emissions that consumes finite resources. Not only does it generate large amounts of waste, but it also contradicts the industry's ambitious sustainability goals. We want to change that in future. That's why we teamed up with Takeda and Corplex to see how we could replace virgin material with recycled material in a pharma-compliant way. Together, we conducted a large-scale pilot study on the closed-loop recycling of corrugated polypropylene trays used to transport pharmaceutical vials, focusing on the three pillars of operational efficiency, technical feasibility and environmental impact. Together with Jörg Michaelis from Takeda and Magalie peralba from Corplex, our expert Philipp Ludihuser will present the results for the first time at CPHI Milan (October 9, 13:45-14:10, Hall 6 - 6A28). Don't miss this opportunity. 🌱 See you in Milan!

Waste-to-energy plant a great alternative to reduce the area for waste treatment and disposal, in addition to generating energy for all small cities in the region. Conversion our waste into an energy carrier in microwave steam plasma A good alternative is to create an intermunicipal cooperative between small cities to share costs, revenues, energy generated and technological knowledge. The conversion of plastic and tire waste into an energy carrier - heating oil, diesel, grill coke, syngas - has become relevant because the production of electricity from waste is slowly being replaced by solar and wind energy, because their operating costs are almost zero. It is a social advantage if small villages are supplied with locally produced energy, thus creating local jobs for the local energy-using population from waste collected locally, small equipment for micro power plants can also be manufactured locally Our innovation in environmental protection is the use of microwave technology The pyrolysis of waste in vapor microwave plasma. The main advantage of steam plasma reactors is that there is no nitrogen in the steam plasma, the plasma reactor, the gasifier and the plasma afterburner chamber, so there is no nitrogen oxides is 40 times more toxic CO, minimum carbon dioxid and odorless the flue gas. The hydrogen introduced into the reaction space with the steam plasma slows down the reactions of gaseous sulphur, phosphorus and free chlorine formation to remove in the gas purification unit. When reacting with chlorine-containing substances, water vapor plasma does not produce dioxin, which is one of the most toxic substances. technology: www.gumienergia.hu

World first pharmaceutical-grade recycled PET blister film launched TekniPlex Healthcare, based in Pennsylvania, in collaboration with petrochemical specialist Alpek Polyester USA, is set to unveil a groundbreaking pharmaceutical-grade polyethylene terephthalate (PET) blister film at Pharmapack Paris. This innovative film, touted as a world first, incorporates 30% post-consumer recycled (PCR) content through a chemical recycling process, making it fully recyclable when paired with TekniPlex’s polyester lidding, Teknilid Push. The PET blister film complies with pharmaceutical standards outlined in the European and United States Pharmacopoeias, providing a sustainable solution that aligns with impending environmental legislation. A spokesperson for TekniPlex highlighted the film’s ability to meet sustainability demands without compromising quality, product protection, or patient safety. Additionally, TekniPlex Healthcare will showcase its Pentafill A25 Filling & Sealing Machine and pharma rubber compounding solutions at Pharmapack, reinforcing its commitment to sustainability and innovation.
