Hello, now from Dallas! I had the great opportunity to attend the Plastics Recycling Conference - hosted by Resource Recycling, Inc. - to learn about the trends and opportunities in this complex industry with hopes to better serve our relevant technologies at UW-Madison. Highlights from the conference include: 🗣️Discussion surrounding the necessity for policy and nationwide regulation for progress in the use of post-consumer recycled (PCR) materials 📈Disecting the complexity of the market from broad effects of the oil industry on PCR use to learning about the direct supply/demand impacts on the price delta between virgin and PCR materials 🌎Hearing from corporate leaders in all sectors of the industry (from reclaimers to retailers) about the state of plastic recycling in the US and globally and how corporates are collaborating in this space 💡Promotion of both current and new recycling technologies with the understanding that there is a space and need for all recycling mechanisms from mechanical to advanced/chemical recycling Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WARF) Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR) #PlasticsRecycling2024 #CircularEconomy

A technological approach that is increasingly gaining acceptance on the market.

🌍 Spotlight Talk: Sustainable Production and Recycling of Plastics ♻️ Plastic production still heavily relies on virgin fossil resources, generating massive amounts of waste that end up in landfills, pollute oceans, or are incinerated. It’s clear that the linear "make, use, dispose" model is no longer viable. In contrast, the circular economy challenges us to rethink the entire lifecycle of materials: keeping them in use for as long as possible, maximizing their value, and regenerating them at the end of their life. In this event, we will explore the industrial challenges and innovative solutions that are bringing us closer to a circular economy and a sustainable supply chain. Speakers like Antonis Kokossis, A. Kuenkel (BASF), and D. Collias (formerly P&G) will share the latest advancements in processes and products, offering valuable insights into the future of plastic recycling. The session will close with a round-table discussion to exchange ideas and perspectives. 📅 Join us on November 5, 2024, from 14:00 to 16:00 CET to learn how sustainable technologies and strategies are transforming plastic production and recycling!

UPM Raflatac has revealed their most recent development, which is the innovative New Wave paper label material, which is compatible with recycling and is also the world’s first RecyClass certified paper label for rigid high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and polypropylene (PP). This new material was launched after the company ran tests on the material and these returned with results that confirmed that the material is compatible even with white and natural material streams. This is a huge breakthrough, as it is natural and white material streams which require the highest purity of recyclates from the recycling processes. It is this achievement with this label, which showcases the amazing step forwards that has been made by this company, when it comes to developments for the recycling of rigid plastic. This accomplishment will also follow the company’s aim to help brand owners continue to work towards enhanced circularity. The article below showcases a recent major breakthrough for the plastic free packaging industry, in which a new kind of recyclable label has been created. A lot of planning, effort and detail has gone into the creation of this product and so far the results have proven that this product is worth it.

Fraunhofer CCPE compact "Impacts of recycled plastics – A stakeholder approach to find consensus in LCA" In this Fraunhofer CCPE compact event, we will present insights and issues on the LCA of recycled plastics from two different technologies with industrial partners (solvent-based and mechanical recycling). Together we would like to discuss interactively how recycled plastics should be modelled in LCA to enable comparisons between different technologies. At the end of the workshop, in addition to an outlook, we will also invite recycling experts to continue to participate in this process of harmonization and transparency of LCA data and methods for recycled plastics. Let's shape the future of sustainable recycled plastics together! We look forward to seeing you on June 20, 2024! This time the speakers are: Dr.-Ing. Anna Kerps (Fraunhofer UMSICHT), Tanja Fell (Fraunhofer Institute for Process Engineering and Packaging IVV ), Dr. Matthias Wilhelm (Lober Entsorgung und Logistik mit System), Andreas Vogt (Vogt-Plastic GmbH).
