🌱♻️ NETZSCH and DOEN Participaties B.V. invest in Veridis to make recycled plastics the norm by 2030! Together with impact investor DOEN Participaties, we are investing in Veridis to bring the new quality measurement standard (MADSCAN) to the market. With the secured funding, Veridis will build and run customer pilots with its innovative MADSCAN technology in 2024 and 2025. MADSCAN is a new technology for thermal analysis, i.e. it measures the different ways in which different types of plastic melt and recrystallize. "The innovative technology of Veridis can guarantee stable, higher-quality recyclate that can be recycled more often and used in high-quality. Veridis therefore makes an important contribution towards a circular chain and an alternative to the use of fossil raw materials.", says Ward Wolters from DOEN Participaties. An important initiative for a sustainable future! "NETZSCH believes in the Veridis team to solve the industry’s problems through the MADSCAN technology. Their attitude will impact the outcome." emphasizes Dr. Natalie Rudolph from NETZSCH-Gerätebau GmbH. 👉 Visit NEDGEX for more information. #NETZSCH #provenexcellence #plastic #recycling #sustainability #innovation #NEDGEX

catalaix - the key to transforming the plastics industry catalaix (catal(ysis) in aix-(la-chapelle), funded by the Werner Siemens-Stiftung (WSS) The research project at RWTH Aachen University focuses on the development of sustainable technologies to transform the plastics sector into a circular economy. With the help of customised catalysts and innovative recycling processes, catalaix aims to optimise the entire plastics life cycle. An interdisciplinary team of scientists from RWTH Aachen University and Forschungszentrum Jülich are working together to convert plastic waste into valuable resources. Our goal: to replace fossil raw materials, minimise CO₂ emissions and pave the way for a sustainable future.

See you @ NPE talking how UBQ Materials can help deliver sustainable solutions for YOU!!!

EcoStatic® - Sustainably Lowering Carbon Emissions In the past few weeks, we have introduced you to key definitions related to biomaterials and wool. So, what does this mean for Lanaco’s sustainability strategy? How can EcoStatic® help you enhance your sustainability efforts? For over 10 years, we have been researching, developing, and manufacturing ultra-low resistance, wool-based, high-performing air filter media. We work closely with our sheep farm partners and suppliers to foster transparency, sustainability, and full traceability throughout our supply chain. Our EcoStatic® filter media is on a pathway to achieving a carbon footprint below zero. By embedding sustainability into our product DNA, we ensure that you don’t have to compromise on environmental responsibility or filtration performance. Meet us at FILTECH Exhibition 2024 and explore how EcoStatic® can make natural possible in your application! lanaco.co.nz  info@lanaco.co.nz #MakingNaturalPossible #EcoStatic #Wool #CleanAir #AirFiltration

Excited to share insights on PEF (polyethylene furanoate), a groundbreaking 100% plant-based polyester I learned about at the MAKRO 2024 conference in Dresden. PEF stands out for its: 50% lower carbon footprint compared to PET; Enhanced barrier properties, extending product shelf life; Higher mechanical strength and durability; Compatibility with existing PET processing and recycling systems; With applications in food and beverage packaging, textiles, and more—such as biaxially oriented (BOPEF) films—PEF represents a significant advancement in sustainable packaging solutions. PEF truly seems like a game-changer in the world of sustainable materials. Its lower carbon footprint and enhanced properties could make a substantial impact across various applications. The potential to replace PET while being more environmentally friendly is impressive, positioning PEF as a forward-thinking solution in our quest for sustainability. #Sustainability #Innovation #PEF #Packaging #MAKRO2024

Sustainability is an important topic for every industry including those utilizing electrospinning and nanofibers. Also as seen in other industries, sustainable options are not readily available because of the unique needs of electrospinning nanofiber materials. Fortunately, people like Stefânia C. and her colleagues at Arkema have found some feasible solutions. If you are interested in learning more, please watch the webinar from earlier this year titled "Advanced, Biobased and Circular Materials adapted for Electrospinning" that is co-hosted by my colleague Joshua Manasco. https://lnkd.in/e-BmSrxu #ThinkBIGgoNANO Elmarco
