Get to know us: Research Department Business and Transformation The transformation to a successful circular plastics economy succeeds when innovative marketing strategies and new business models are integrated into the entire value network. We offer our customers on the one hand the know-how from current research and on the other hand the cross-industry view from Best Practice Solutions. This enables us to offer customized solutions for all those topics that inevitably accompany every product and process development, e.g. in business model development. 👉 Read more about our projects at https://lnkd.in/g3w3fNrW #fraunhofer #fraunhoferccpe #weknowhow #businessmodels #transformation #circulareconomy

In Turning the tide in Asia-Pacific, Eco-Business’s Junice Yeo, Bain & Company's Thomas Luedi, and our own Kodak (Keda), Xiao offer insights into the challenges the region is facing and how it’s turning them into opportunities. Listen to Plastics Unwrapped here: https://dow.inc/3knNJEs

The Critical Raw Materials Act has set an extremely ambitious goal: by 2030, at least 25% of Europe's annual consumption of critical and strategic raw materials should come from domestic recycling.     Our recent Raw Materials Summit attracted some of the industry’s leaders to the stage to discuss the realities behind this ambition. Making all products recycle-ready is the focus now, driving the vast amount of innovation needed to operate the most complex and sophisticated recycling technologies, keeping carbon emissions at a minimum, and, above all, making our business models viable.   Today, EIT RawMaterials continues to fly the flag for recycling at the E-Waste World Conference & Expo in Frankfurt, one of Europe’s leading events for electronics recycling.    If you're here, feel free to stop by and say hello at Booth D30.   #CriticalRawMaterials #Recycling #CRMA #Decarbonisation #SustainableRecycling

Get to know us: Research Department "Circular Logistics and Sustainability" Efficient long-term implementation and evaluation of plastics recycling requires complete digital recording of the respective cycle status. We develop innovative processes for efficient logistics and involve plastics stakeholders from business, science and society in new measures for circular value creation. Our expertise focuses on the coupling of technical tools with concepts of the circular economy and the development of digitalization strategies. In this regard, we rely on intensive customer consulting to ensure the development of sustainability strategies as well as the application of methods for circularity and environmental assessment (also of products in the early development stage). 👉 Read more about our projects at https://lnkd.in/eAuHRi9V #fraunhofer #fraunhoferccpe #weknowhow #logistics #sustainability #plastics #circulareconomy

Our Future Days events combine the latest research with lively discussion and inspiring insights into what the future might hold. 😎 With the focus on plastics and polymers, we welcome three experts to share their important work around plastics. We’ll get into the granular details of measuring microplastics with Florine Aalders, explore how to investigate and address their environmental impact with Andrea Brunner, and zoom out to hear from Esther van den Beuken about why there are good reasons to be optimistic about a circular future for plastic. With topics including closing the value chains for existing polymers, designing innovative recycling methods, and the public health impact of microplastics – and how particle analysis can help – the Future Days agenda touches on some of the most important and impactful issues in the industry today. Each expert will give a deep-dive presentation on their topic before joining a lively roundtable discussion and taking questions, ensuring the sessions add extra value and depth to these crucial topics. The event Starts at 14:30 CEST.  🗓️⌚ Here’s what you can look forward to:   •Introduction and welcome  •Futureproof circular plastics – Esther van den Beuken  •Investigating microplastics: the momentum consortium – Andrea Brunner  •Roundtable discussion  •Measuring (micro)plastics – Florine Aalders  •Roundtable discussion  •Closing Register now! 🗒 : https://lnkd.in/dsPjAsei #ProLabSystems #futuredays #malvernpanalytical #polymers #plastics #event

♻ From mechanical recycling to injection moulding: Watch this video to see how we closed the plastics cycle with Lindner Recyclingtech at K show 2022, saving around 30% in energy, costs and CO2. The pallets, we made by injecting post-consumer recyclate directly into our two-stage machine, were then shredded by Lindner, who returned the washed and dried flakes to us, to start the cycle again. 🔄 Check it out ⬇ https://lnkd.in/dWbrHXsT #recycling #plastics #injectionmoulding #circulareconomy #greenismorethanacolour
