MoQuP-R to explore quality monitoring along the plastic recycling chain The Dutch National Growth Fund programme Circular Plastics NL has granted a subsidy of 1.9 million euro to cofinance the 2.6 million euro research project Monitoring Quality in Plastic Recycling (MoQuP-R). The project consortium consists of the circular plastic research institute Nationaal Testcentrum Circulaire Plastics, Maastricht University, TNO, LyondellBasell, Danone, Graham Packaging International, and Verpact. The project will run for three years from September 2024. Plastic packaging recycling goals have not received focus on recyclate quality which is partly due to the way recycling rates have been calculated until 2022: any material stream coming out of a plastic sorting plant is considered recycled independent of the actual subsequent recycling process. This is now slowly changing with measuring the so-called washed and dried flake but is still far from complete and definitely not yet suitable for PCR quality prediction. In this project, we focus on the necessary quality monitoring tools and the application of existing models related to the prediction of recyclate quality in order to increase the use of PCR in packaging. An integral approach should allow adjustment along the circular value chain to improve PCR quality. More information on the project can be found at https://lnkd.in/eDUKm78J and will be presented at the CPNL Project Launch on 28 May: https://lnkd.in/e7Es2PAb. #circulareconomy #plastics #recycling #groeifonds

Vidia’s Plastic Recycling Platform PolymerCycle acquires BPM We are thrilled to share our initial platform investment in the plastic recycling space, aiming to rapidly scale the supply of high-quality regranulates to replace high-emission virgin plastic. Vidia Climate Fund I has acquired specialized plastic recycling company Best Plastic Management GmbH (BPM) through newly established PolymerCycle GmbH. BPM’s succession situation and organic as well as inorganic scale-up potential in combination with its superior CO2 avoidance fully match our investment strategy of maximizing both impact and financial return. The family-run business specializes in the disposal and recycling of post-industrial plastic waste. At their site near Bremen, Germany, BPM currently generates output of 20,000 metric tons of recycled material per year. With our operational support and the necessary capital, we now aim to increase BPM’s capacity to up to 60,000 metric tons p.a., resulting in CO2 emission avoidance of well over 3,000 tons p.a., per million euro invested. Through selected additional acquisitions by the PolymerCycle platform, a further diversification of waste streams with a simultaneous increase in internal value add is targeted. "This acquisition represents a milestone for our plastic recycling strategy," says Johanna Struthmann, Founding Partner of Vidia." The investment is emblematic for the strategy and philosophy behind our fund, as BPM exhibits a high collinearity of financial and impact return based on the parameters of our Vidia evaluation matrix. Our team has collaborated on numerous successful scale-ups as well as investments into the recycling industry in the past, and we look forward to developing BPM together with management." Please see our website for further insights: https://lnkd.in/eiwese_7 We thank our trusted advisors from goetzpartners (Gerwin Weidl, Dr.-Ing. Gerrit Schuette, Gerrit Léon Bückins), GLNS Rechtsanwälte Steuerberater (Georg Lindner, Dr. Patrick Droese), Pusch Wahlig Workplace Law (Anna Martin, Eckbert Müller), Latham & Watkins (Stefan Suess) and GSK Stockmann (Maximiliane Bartsch, Stefan J.
