The demand for recycled plastic encourages the development of new technologies and processes for better plastic recovery, sorting, and recycling. This innovation can lead to more efficient and sustainable waste management practices, such as the one of CU Mehrweg, a German startup co-founded by Tatiana Tsarkova and Chris Isfort, which introduces a centrally controlled and open pool system for food packaging. With this solution, the company enables manufacturers to fill their products in standardized reusable containers that can be easily returned by end customers to common deposit machines in supermarkets. With each return CU Mehrweg saves valuable resources and drives the movement towards enhanced sustainability within the food industry.

Highline Beta is a startup co-creation company that launches new ventures with leading corporations and founders. It has brought together international brewers AB InBev and erthos who create plant-based alternatives to traditional plastics. Ethos started by developing compostable alternatives to styrofoam but then moved to China to further develop compostable resins. Highline Beta helped design AB InBev’s 100+ Accelerator. Two products have been produced using erthos eco-resin: keg caps and 6-pack rings. It is reported that by replacing these two products, in one year alone, they will be able to reduce CO2 by 5.2 million kg, and divert 3,000 tonnes of plastic (equivalent to 350 million plastic bottles).

Estonian startup gets funding for wood-based alternative to bubble wrap RAIKU Packaging is an Estonian startup that has developed an innovative protective packaging product alternative to PE (polyethylene) bubblewrap. The company’s product is made from sustainable wooden ‘springs’. They have now announced that they have received funding of €8.8M (£7.7m), made up of a €5.65 million grant from the European Innovation Council (EIC) and €3.15 million in investments from private sector investors, including Kaamos, Vestman, Little Green Fund, as well as numerous private investors from Estonia and Finland. The company’s primary objective with this new funding is to advance its chemical-free and compostable packaging material technology, establish its first factory, and expand production on a global scale. Raiku specialises in creating sustainable, protective, and entirely natural packaging materials with a low CO2 footprint to address the pressing issue of packaging waste ending up in landfills and nature. #packaging #packaginginnovation #sustainability #packagingstartup

"𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗼𝘅 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗯𝗼𝘅𝗲𝘀" 📦 ... Is what Økoskabet wants to be, according to founder Marc Seerup Hansen. And he's on the right path: As of now, countless organic and local farmers in Denmark have a hard time reaching consumers to sell their products. Firstly, the big supermarket chains often value cheap produce produced at scale, while the existing food-delivery solutions use unnecessary resources and time, which, in turn, creates more CO2 and pollution in the process. What Økoskabet offers is a logistics solution for smaller food producers that is more sustainable and efficient than the current delivery solutions.

We aim to spread awareness about the innovative solutions currently being developed at DTU Science Park and in the GreenUP Accelerator, supported by Industriens Fond.
