📣 New IJOPM paper poster 📣   In their paper “How to enhance circular supply chains? Aligning R-imperatives, uncertainty management and sustainability,” Felipe Alexandre de Lima (University of Kassel; Solvay Brussels School of Economics and Management; currently at Kuehne Logistics University), Stefan Seuring (University of Kassel) and Andrea Genovese (Sheffield University Management School) analyze how firms align the operationalization of R-imperatives with uncertainty management to improve sustainability performance and accelerate the transition toward circular supply chain (CSCs).   The case study’s main takeaways are:   📗 Firms cannot adopt R-imperatives such as Reduce, Resell/Reuse, and Recycle in their CSCs without the proper identification and management of uncertainties and measurement of sustainability performance.   📘 The identification and management of uncertainties in CSCs can be done by employing a comprehensive framework that aligns different uncertainties with related management strategies.   📙 Firms that are proactive toward uncertainty management and sustainability performance measurement are likely to enhance their CSCs and benefit from environmental, economic and social outcomes.   Full access to the paper in the first comment!

Update on the EU #MatDeMa Project  Today, we had a successful project meeting for the MatDeMa project, marking another milestone in our journey towards sustainable and affordable high-performance composites. MatDeMa is a key addition to the the Composite Unit and DMAC research team's excellence in this field. MatDeMa aims to develop a one-step automated manufacturing process for sustainable Thermoplastic-Fibre Metal Laminates. This process will significantly reduce manufacturing costs and maximise material utilisation without compromising performance, opening new opportunities in sectors like automotive industry .We ensure structural integrity through comprehensive design tools, testing, and characterisation methodologies, with a strong focus on sustainability and circularity from concept to demonstration. The project is coordinated by my Colleague Ahmed Makradi in partnership with Technical University of Chemnitz, Riga Technical University and FordOtosan. On the Photo: Ahmed Makradi, Henri Perrin (DMAC group leader) and our colleagues from Ford (Sude Erkin, Mustafa Başaran), TU Riga (Professor Evgeny Barkanov and Dr Akishins) and TU Chemnitz (Dr Issam Bahtiti) visiting the composite manufacturing facility at Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST). Stay tuned for more updates! #MatDeMa #DMAC #SustainableComposites #Innovation #Manufacturing #Automotive #CircularEconomy #ResearchAndDevelopment Ford Otosan

♻️ Even though it won't take place until January 2024, it's never too early to announce a good #event. In this case, the #symposium "Advances in safety assessent of packing materials" organised by the Packaging and Resource Management unit of FH Campus Wien | University of Applied Sciences together with OFI Österreichisches Forschungsinstitut für Chemie und Technik. Renowned experts will spend a day discussing the latest #advances, #developments and #challenges in the packaging field - an industry that generates more than 10 billion euros in annual #turnover and creates over 35,000 #jobs in #Austria alone. 𝐓𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐭 𝐬𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐧 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲. 𝐒𝐨 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐨𝐧𝐞. 👇👇 https://lnkd.in/ekG8aXRf Thanks to our sponsor Wirtschaftsagentur Wien.

The ALTANA Special Prize Chemistry 2024 goes to... ...the business idea BRINAX GmbH by Hubert Szeja, Alex Nedelchev, Konstantin Kluba and David Wittman. The four students from Meißen were honored by us at this year's JUGEND GRÜNDET national final for their sustainable car wash. With the slogan “Greenwashing but the right way”, the team developed an impressive concept and also showed how important teamwork is in the development and implementation of innovative ideas! 🚗🧼 ➡ Their key to success? Energy-efficient production, recycled packaging and organic ingredients, including an innovative preservative made from hop extract. Dr. Kristina Keisers, Investment Manager at ALTANA AG, was impressed by the potential of the idea at the award ceremony: "The demand for sustainable products is increasing. Chemical innovations are therefore increasingly based on bio-based materials. This is how natural raw materials become everyday products. It is impressive to see how much innovative power, passion and entrepreneurial spirit the team of students is putting into the development and market launch of their future solution." The reward is a trip to the USA to the research and production site of our BYK Additives division in Wallingford. There, the winners will gain insights and the opportunity to exchange ideas with our experts - including sightseeing in New York City, of course. 🗽 #YoungFounders #Innovation #Sustainability #ShapingTheFuture #StartUp
