Mondi collaborated with Sherwin-Williams to introduce a mono-material refill pouch for concentrated paint, reducing plastic waste and improving supply chain efficiency.
UPM Specialty Papers and Eastman developed a paper-based packaging solution with a compostable bio-based coating, enhancing recyclability and barrier performance for food applications.
The company announced a double-digit million euro investment in a pilot plant for elastomer recycling, cutting carbon footprints and advancing circular solutions.
The energy-efficient, cost-effective way to convert the greenhouse gas into a wide range of chemical feedstock, spearheaded by NUS scientists, achieves cost reduction of about 30%.
As one of the world’s biggest polluters, the textiles industry needs an urgent sustainability transformation. To make circularity a reality, the coated textiles value chain needs to work together on end-to-end solutions – from more sustainable raw materials to textile recycling technologies.
The focus of the co-operation will be on developing improved black mass production processes to achieve high recovery rates for metals such as lithium, nickel, and cobalt to support closed loop solutions for the European electric vehicle battery market.
The company's award falls under the category of “Projects and Initiatives” that have led to the recycling of more material and/or better recycling cost-effectiveness.
Moving to more environmentally benign monomers is essential for the continuation of a highly beneficial relationship with polymers. This shift creates an opportunity to simultaneously access new property profiles. New polyols synthesized using a high-purity isosorbide illustrate what is possible.
Mondi, a global packaging and paper company, opened its first recycling laboratory at its Frantschach mill in Austria to test the recyclability of paper and paper-based packaging using non-paper components such as coatings.
