Three bio-based innovations from Germany and from Sweden, two CCU innovations from Denmark and Hungary and one advanced plastic recycling technology from Canada are nominated for the “Renewable Material of the Year 2024” innovation award. In just three years, the Renewable Materials Conference (RMC) has established itself as the world’s leading event on chemicals and materials based on biomass, CCU or chemical recycling – the only alternatives to fossil-based chemicals and materials. The unique concept of presenting all renewable material solutions at one event hits the mark and covers the entire value chain of the renewable carbon economy.  The article below talks about an important event which places renewable materials at the forefront of its focus. Holding this event not only gives companies the opportunity to showcase their work, but it also brings the various techniques that are being used to the attention of others.

There will also be 2 new standalone additions to The Greener Manufacturing Show & Plastic Waste Free World next year – Sustainable Materials Expo & Sustainable Chemicals Expo (Cologne, 13-14 Nov)!   #4eventsin2024 #industrynews #sustainability #closetheloop #TGMSE2024 #SCHLE2024 #SMTRE2024 #PWFWE2024

This investment improves our capability to use heavier feeds, like pyrolysis oil in Porvoo cracker. #Circular #plastics is one of our #SPIRITprogramme main themes.

Good news for sustainability! 🌱 "New data sets have led the Renewable Carbon Initiative to suggest that products derived from crude oil and natural gas have much higher carbon footprints than previously thought, with those for commodity plastics rising by around 30% and fossil naphtha’s footprint almost doubling." states Packaging Europe. "Going forward, the Initiative expects many packaging companies to recalculate the carbon footprints of their products in line with the updated data. It predicts that the results will increase the difference in the carbon footprints of fossil and non-fossil plastics; for instance, the production of #biobased plastics was previously thought to have a 20-30% lower carbon footprint than its fossil-based equivalent, but the figure is anticipated to reach 40-50% upon re-examination."

Siemens Smart Infrastructure and BASF have today announced the first electrical safety product to include components made from biomass-balanced plastics. Used across industrial and infrastructure applications, Siemens SIRIUS 3RV2 circuit breaker is now being manufactured using Ultramid® BMBcertTM and Ultradur® BMBcertTM from BASF, where fossil feedstock at the beginning of the value chain is replaced by biomethane derived from renewable sources such as agricultural waste. #sustainablepackaging #recyclability #packaging #sustainability #circulareconomy #biobasededmaterials #resourceefficiency
