♻️💋🧪 ROELMI HPC makes both functional ingredients and actives. And they have what I would describe as a multifaceted approach to sustainable ingredient development, using biotechnology, green chemistry, upcycling, local sourcing, efficient production, clean fractionation tech, and more. Dr. Elisa Altieri tells me that this is a reflection of the company’s “commitment to comprehensive sustainability. “Each method,” she says, “contributes unique benefits, and by integrating various approaches, we can address diverse environmental and societal challenges. Specializing in one or two methods might limit our ability to adapt to evolving sustainability standards and could overlook potential opportunities for innovation and improvement.” And she tells me that “there is a growing demand for upcycled ingredients as consumers and the industry increasingly prioritize circular economy models. Beyond the environmental benefits of reducing waste,” Altieri points out that “upcycled ingredients often bring unexpected advantages, such as unique textures and properties. The creative use of upcycled materials can result in innovative products that resonate with environmentally conscious consumers.” It’s a trend she believes will not be stopping any time soon...

It is so encouraging to see the continued efforts in researching and developing biodegradable alternatives to plastics. These innovations are crucial as we work towards transitioning away from traditional plastic packaging. Supporting these technologies and adopting sustainable practices is not just an option—it’s a necessity for protecting our environment and ensuring a sustainable future. Let’s all contribute to driving this change and encourage the adoption of eco-friendly packaging solutions across industries. Together, we can make a significant impact.

In the year 2024, the cosmetics industry continues to move towards more sustainable practices, mainly driven by changes in consumer preferences, in addition to government regulations. Follow some trends: 🌿Sustainable Ingredients: consumers are looking for products formulated with raw materials from sustainable sources. 🌱Responsible Production: adoption of production practices that reduce water and energy consumption, as well as minimizing industrial waste. Sustainability and traceability certifications throughout the production chain. 💡Technological Innovation: Investments in research and development to find sustainable alternatives to traditional ingredients. 🔄Circular Strategies: implementation of circular economy models, promoting recycling, reuse and recovery of materials throughout the useful life of the product. #Citróleo #CitroBio #Sustainability

In today's market, consumers are increasingly favoring products that are sustainable and environmentally friendly. According to a 2023 report by the Capgemini Research Institute, 79% of consumers are changing their purchasing preferences based on sustainability. Furthermore, a study by Nielsen revealed that 66% of global consumers are willing to pay more for sustainable brands. This shift indicates a strong market preference for products made from biocomposites. By integrating biocomposites into your product line, you can attract this growing segment of eco-conscious consumers and stay ahead in a competitive market. Embracing sustainable practices not only benefits the environment but also aligns with the evolving values of today's consumers, driving both growth and positive brand perception. #Trifilon #sustainability #biocomposite #biocomposites #ecomaterials #sustainability #injectionmolding #greenmaterials #sustainablematerials
