🤔 What would happen if Polyformer and BioMec joined forces and received support from leading environmental and social innovation sponsors? Polyformer is transforming PET bottles into filaments for 3D printers using a 3D-printed, open-source machine. Designed to be accessible and customisable, it empowers makers to recycle and create with ease. BioMec Prosthetics is revolutionising the way we handle plastic waste by converting discarded fishing nets and other plastics into prosthetic limbs. This initiative addresses environmental pollution and provides affordable prosthetics to those in need in conflict-affected regions. Imagine the potential of these two groundbreaking projects collaborating and receiving sponsorship or support from major environmental and social initiatives. The combined efforts could amplify their impact and create more comprehensive solutions for plastic waste management and human welfare. With the right support, this collaboration could: 👉 Enhance recycling infrastructure and community engagement 👉 Increase production and distribution of affordable prosthetics 👉 Foster global knowledge-sharing and best practices for sustainability 🤝 Together, Polyformer and BioMec can close the plastic loop and contribute to a more sustainable and equitable future. Let's support and celebrate these innovative projects that are making a difference for people and the planet. How can you support them? By spreading the word, providing resources, or connecting them with potential sponsors and partners, you can help amplify their impact. Join the movement for a cleaner and more compassionate world.

💡🌎 𝗔𝗜 𝗺𝗲𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝘆𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴! Holistic AI-based optimization of plastic packaging with recycled content: this is the focus of the 𝗞𝗜𝗢𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗣𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 – supported by the Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF) as part of the 𝗙𝗢𝗡𝗔 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆 and the 𝗔𝗜 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻 of the BMBF. But what has 𝗥-𝗖𝘆𝗰𝗹𝗲 got to do with it? Through our community member Reifenhauser Group , we are a partner in this project and are involved in various areas. Christian Stelter, Senior Manager Implementation and Projects at R-Cycle, explains: "The first starting point for KIOptiPack is the material qualities for packaging. The goal is to provide practice-ready AI-supported tools for the successful product design and quality-compliant production of plastic packaging with a high proportion of recycled materials in an AI application and data room, to validate them and to transfer them to the application. Fundamentally different but interrelated processes such as the design of the packaging in terms of recyclability and functionality, the production of films in the extrusion process and the forming of cups from the films, for example, are considered holistically. On the part of R-Cycle, we contribute with our knowledge of plastic packaging processes and circular economy data." 𝗪𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲?

Today is #EarthDay, a reminder of the importance of environmental conservation and sustainability, encouraging us to come together and take action for a healthier planet and brighter future. As a global healthcare services company with offices in 35 countries and serving many more, we recognise that human health is deeply linked to planetary health and we’re committed to doing our part to decarbonise our operations and value chain. The theme of Earth Day 2024 is “Planet vs. Plastics” and throughout our organisation, we remain committed to moving away from plastics in our day-to-day operations. As an example, Inizio Medical’s booths at the 2023 MAPS and ISMPP conferences used reusable lightboxes with recyclable aluminium frames. They also featured recyclable fabric printed with dye-sublimation – the most sustainable printing process, generating zero waste. You can read more about our commitment to a sustainable future here: https://lnkd.in/eAkTAFVR EARTHDAY.ORG #EndPlastics #PlanetVsPlastics #Sustainability

What applications are bioplastics currently being used for and what applications will bioplastics replace in the future? Over the last few months Floreon has explained what many of these ‘buzz’ topics and words actually mean. Bioplastics are being used in a variety of applications across different industries. Currently, they are commonly found in packaging materials and single use products, agricultural films & disposable medical products. However due to innovations from companies such as Floreon bioplastics now have the potential to replace traditional oil-based plastics in a wider range of demanding applications. Due to our advancing technology we are now able to offer durable bioplastics that can be used in automotive components, electronic casings, toys, and consumer goods. One of the key advantages of bioplastics is their potential to reduce carbon emissions and dependence on fossil fuels. As environmental concerns and regulations surrounding plastic waste and pollution increase, bioplastics offer a more sustainable option. Floreon is a bioplastic with exceptional strength and durability. Such potential has never been available to PLA before- Floreon has developed 3 grades of material for different uses but has the benefit of being better for the environment that is suitable for use in your existing manufacturing process. Many manufacturers and brands continue to use ABS for high performance products as they need them to be flame retarded but this is very harmful to the environment; now there is a biomaterial alternative from Floreon that matches the durability, performance, is flame retarded and has up to 7 times lower carbon footprint, it is now time to switch! Read our blog on our ground breaking technology here: https://lnkd.in/eVJ3Fmei Get in touch to find out how to make this easy change whilst making a big difference to the climate here: https://lnkd.in/d3Fqgyk To learn more about the Floreon story watch our video https://lnkd.in/e6dBDvU4 #bioplastics #plantbased #electronics #toys #toyindustry #consumerelectronics #biobasedplastics #floreon #circulareconomy #plastic #plasticindustry #flameretardant #pla #plastics #bioplastics #floreon #environment #sustainability #plantbased #electronics #recyclableplastic #griffn #belkin #Apple #Mitec #bluechipworld #kitsound #sony #panasonic #amazon #pny #bose #sainsburys #tesco #bush #jvc #energizer #skullcandy #Veho #Expansys #AGMmobile #OTLtechnologies #Nolii #gotravel #atomstudios #philips #samsung #nokia #EE #huawei #oppo #xiaomi #doro #googlemobile #sustainable #anker #plasticindustry #flameretardant #horizoneurope #thermoplastics #manufacturing #carbonfootprint #sustainability #eco #durableplastic #flameretardant #clariant #horizoneurope #thermoplastics #europeanunion #fraunhofer #meyerwerft #piep #avient #brinter #vtt #iconiq #tofas #idener #farplas #automobileindustry #idener #manufacturing #injectionmolding #injectionmoulding #durable #polymer #plasticproducts #ABS #halogenfree
