🌿 PreZero Dual Summit 2024 — Building a Sustainable Packaging Ecosystem ♻️ Following up on last year's success, the second annual PreZero Dual Summit recently took place in Grünstadt, Germany.  Over two days, industry leaders, innovators, and decision-makers gathered to reflect on current and future packaging technologies, focusing on innovative circular approaches. The event was dedicated to transforming the way we handle materials and waste. Summit Highlights: 📜 The latest updates on #PPWR legislation and its impact on your business 🎤 Presentations on #sustainable #packaging innovations 🏭 Exclusive tours of our state-of-the-art recycling facility 🛠️ Interactive market exhibits showcasing PreZero's comprehensive solutions It was our privilege to host a keynote speech by our trusted partner @Berry Global, featuring next-generation advancements in food-grade recycled polypropylene (rPP) packaging. Sustainable packaging practices are just one aspect of the transition to a #circulareconomy. Those present at the PreZero Dual Summit were part of this change, taking steps toward a more circular future. The event provided a valuable opportunity for attendees to #rethink packaging and its role in sustainability. 💬 Join the ongoing conversation. Comment below if you'd like to participate in our next summit.

Circular Economy roundtable for the “Metropolregion Rhein-Neckar” meets #JohnDeere. Very impressive dimensions and a place to re-visit with my kids. 😉. In this 6th meeting of the roundtable, we discussed three hands-on topics: ♻ Wooden and plastic palette repair and recycling to improve circularity in logistics: How to deal with contamination in palettes re-use? What logistic providers offer a full service including repair? And can economy of scale be realized by pooling the waste streams? The question will be continued with experts. ☁ CO2 trading platform for the Metropolregion Rhein-Neckar: Taking this year’s The Hackathon Company Guinness World Records attempt in #Mannheim as trigger, we discussed how we can contribute to the topic “decarbonize the planet” as well as benefit from the event in our city. ♻ Washroom paper recycling One of our members, Essity, is providing a solution for this issue, many companies deal with and #JohnDeere is already applying. The key is to involve all employees and continuously train staff because, as always in recycling, the purer the waste streams, the higher the recycling rate and potential for closed loops. A good but not simple measure engage employees for circularity! Many thanks to our hosts Daniel Sigmund and Khaled Jubeh from #JohnDeere and my co-organizor Klaus Kirr. We are very much looking forward to our next meeting at #MVVEnergieAG. Let’s close more circles in our region in 2024!

🌍 First episode of our consortium post serie ! Let's start with the first consortium we're proud to talk : R3PACK - Reduce, Reuse, Rethink PACKaging 👇 At (RE)SET , we coordinate the game-changing R3PACK - Reduce, Reuse, Rethink PACKaging consortium, a Horizon Europe project. In the environmental transition, there are those who talk, and those who walk. We are of those who walk the talk. R3PACK - Reduce, Reuse, Rethink PACKaging is our mantra for innovation - This ambitious project is deeply aligned with the European Green Deal, targeting carbon neutrality by 2050 and 100% recyclable or reusable packaging in the EU market by 2030. 🚀 Our journey has brought together 24 forward-thinking organizations from 7 countries. We are proud to have made it this far, but to truly revolutionize packaging, we need more innovative companies to join us on this journey! We invite brands committed to changing the status quo to join this movement. Together with R3PACK, you will be : Deploying sustainable, fiber-based packaging solutions. Advancing reuse schemes across a spectrum of food products. Steering the industry away from single-use plastics. Your brand can make a real difference and there has never been a better time to do so. Collaborate with us to turn to reduce global packaging waste and transition towards a more circular economy.

I met Christoph Bruehl in 2020. COVID had been declared a pandemic and I was trying to connect the dots, or the bright spots, in a growing Industrial hemp industry largely overshadowed by recent Cannabis legalization in Canada and the Farm Bill legalizing hemp in the US. CBD was all the rage and certainly attracted the capital. In retrospect, I certainly wonder what may have happened if all that capital deployed into recreational cannabis had been spread around a bit more diligently. Christoph and I spent the better part of a year meeting via Zoom and conceptualizing hemp paper supply chains before we even met in person. I was shocked by how tall he was when we first met in person. The one thing that was constant across all meetings was his passionate vision to upcycle cannabis waste and to make the #CannabisIndustry more environmentally #sustainable. We knew it wouldn't be easy. But we also knew the industry wanted it. The founders of Endless Sky Inc made an early commitment to upcycling and sustainable packaging as they knew the real value of the cannabis plant was housed not only in cannabinoids, terpenes and flavinoids but in the entire plant, the seeds, the complex lipids and the cellulosic structures, as well. Almost every cannabis customer, grower, processor, scientist, company employee and armchair enthusiast knew it, but how many have made a #commitment to it? Making it come to life is a whole different beast. It needs a connector, a champion. A person who could make the links between customer and innovator, between market and supply. And that is Christoph's amazing ability. To listen to people and understand their pain points and relentlessly find solutions by connecting with people. If you haven't met him yet, I suggest you don't wait another day.

𝗝𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲!🤝 We are thrilled to announce our recent membership in the "Forum Rezyklat", a dynamic platform dedicated to advancing the #circulareconomy of packaging. Established in 2018, the forum brings together stakeholders spanning the entire packaging value chain, including retailers, brand owners, packaging manufacturers, EPR systems, waste management and recycling companies, as well as representatives from politics and academia. 🎯 The collective mission of all forum members is clear: to develop practical and consumer-centric solutions for recyclable packaging and increase the use of secondary resources in packaging. At PreZero, we share this commitment and are eager to collaborate with fellow members to create synergies that can benefit the entire industry. In light of environmental and resource challenges, a linear economy is no longer sustainable. By joining the #ForumRezyklat, we gain a valuable platform to collaborate with diverse stakeholders, working collectively to enhance the recyclability and integration of post-consumer #recyclates in the field of #packaging♻️. Together, let's drive positive change and #prethink packaging for a more sustainable future!🌱
