As a frontrunner in circular economy, Metso utilizes proprietary hydrometallurgical technology to recover high-value battery raw materials through advanced battery black mass recycling process. https://lnkd.in/eZRWhf7q

California’s SB 54 is reshaping packaging with aggressive targets on recyclability, source reduction, and real end-of-life outcomes through Producer Responsibility frameworks. The work now is to redesign, document, and prove results. Vantage Plastics, together with Edge Materials Management, Lotis Technologies, and AirPark Plastics, provides a turnkey path to compliance. We design for recyclability, integrate PCR content where it makes sense, enable take-back with proof-of-recycling, and build the material and process documentation needed for transparent reporting. As rulemaking evolves, statutory deadlines remain. We are ready with practical, auditable solutions that protect your brand and your supply chain. #SB54 #EPR #SustainableManufacturing #CircularEconomy #Packaging #RegulatoryCompliance

🌍 𝗧𝗼𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗖𝗶𝗿𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀 – 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗘𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗿 ♻️ A report by Plastics Europe reveals that in 2022, 13.5% of all plastics processed in Europe came from circular sources, already more than half of the EU’s target of 25% circular plastics by 2030 (Plastics Europe, 2024). It’s a promising step forward, but major challenges remain. One of the biggest? Maintaining product quality when using recyclates so that industries such as automotive, consumer goods, and healthcare can meet strict requirements without compromising efficiency. This is where Movacolor’s technology plays a vital role. With our modular dosing and blending solutions, we enable manufacturers to achieve the perfect balance between recycled and virgin materials, ensuring consistency, color stability, and minimal waste. Why this matters: 𝗦𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 – Directly contributes to the EU’s circular plastics roadmap by reducing CO₂ emissions and waste. 𝗘𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 & 𝗤𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆  – Precision dosing prevents waste and variability. 𝗖𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗦𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 – Reduced need for virgin materials lowers raw material costs. At Movacolor, we believe that the key to accelerating the plastic transition lies in combining circular ambitions with technological precision. 🔗 Link to the report: https://bit.ly/46arRpr #CircularEconomy #Plastics #Sustainability

In our interview, plastics specialist Dr. Herwig Juster speaks with Fabio Späth (Sustainability Manager) and Emanuel Leisinger (Process Engineer) about our newly launched calculator: the Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) calculator for plastic profiles: Hear from them about: ✅ Why Technoform built its own Product Carbon Footprint calculator ✅ How you can benefit from more transparency about the carbon footprint If you're involved in materials, product development, or ESG – this conversation is for you. 🎥 Find out in the video how the calculator offers data to drive decarbonization forward. #PlasticProfiles #Sustainable #PCF #ClimateAdaptation #Technoform #Calculator #SustainableEngineering #ProductCarbonFootprint #CircularEconomy

Are “plant-based” plastics and bioplastics ACTUALLY better than conventional petroleum-based plastics?? Research says maybe not. 🤦♀️ BUT, I still take a nuanced approach to how I use them in my life because, hey, we live in the real world, right?! What do you think of this topic?? #bioplastic #plantbasedplastic #nontoxicliving #plasticfree #ecofriendly

We won't be running out of waste tyres any time soon. But what to do with the massive amounts of EoL tyres generated each and every year? For Pyrum Innovations AG CEO Pascal Klein the answer is easy: thermolysis. In our interview he explains how their thermolysis technology is creating a true circular economy for end-of-life tyres - turning waste into pyrolysis oil, recovered carbon black, and gas with virtually zero emissions. Read our exclusive interview to learn how this innovation is reshaping tyre recycling 👇 https://lnkd.in/dkZviAj5

Plastics Paradox, created by @Dr Chris DeArmitt FRSC FIMMM, is a free resource challenging common misconceptions about plastics and the environment. Drawing on thousands of peer-reviewed studies and over 3,000 hours of independent research, DeArmitt argues that much of what we hear in headlines and campaigns is unsupported by evidence. The site highlights that microplastics are often misrepresented; real quantities and impacts are far lower than claimed, and many studies use unrealistic exposure levels. On recycling, it stresses that plastics are widely recyclable, requiring a fraction of the energy needed for virgin material, thereby reducing carbon emissions. With litter, evidence shows that plastic bags form less than one per cent of waste, and life-cycle analyses reveal they often have a smaller footprint than paper, cotton, or “biodegradable” alternatives unless those are heavily reused. Overall, the Plastics Paradox urges evidence-based decisions, arguing that plastics may be less harmful, and sometimes more beneficial, than widely assumed. This is a slightly contrary study by Dr Chris DeArmitt, his website actually blew my perspective on what is really happening in environmental sustainability, what are we really solving? However Chris falls short of supporting plastics overall and shows consideration regarding overall harm we can accrue. He is just not convinced with the false evidence used to promote incorrect remediation methods, followed by financial support. Plastic Paradox Website: https://lnkd.in/g6vDYeEH

Not all plastics can be recycled the old-fashioned way but that does not mean they are useless.
