University of Cambridge, Brian Richardson, Research Centre Manager, Hutchison / MRC Research Centre. “All I can tell you are the cost implications for ourselves. Our 3 Research buildings were spending over £10k a year on skips sending polystyrene (styrofoam) to land fill (which is now strictly illegal). We now have a StyroMelt machine and process the polystyrene which will be collected free for recycling. This is the only machine I have managed to find that will process the 'mixed bag' of polystyrene waste we have in our operations. I have tried other technologies without success whereas the StyroMelt is simple and effective.” #sustainability #carbonfootprintreduction #divertingwastefromlandfill #circulareconomy #styromelt #innovation Thermal Compaction Group (TCG) Tim Hourahine DGSA AMCIWM ♻️Resource Specialist♻️ Alexander Spyropoulos ♻️ Mathew Rapson ♻️ To learn more about Styromelt and how it could help your organisation, click on the link below: https://lnkd.in/ephkU4he

As the world gravitates towards eco-conscious choices, the roll-your-own #RYO industry is witnessing a shift towards sustainable alternatives with a growing trend toward paper-based filter tips. SWM International’s #Evolute® product range is contributing to the change, with a natural fiber-based filtering media, offering solutions for filter tip applications that help our customers comply with the EU single-use-plastic directive. Learn more in the interview of Alice Jaussaud, Product Manager for filtering media solution talking about Evolute®’s environmental benefits and industrial performance: https://lnkd.in/ew_akPZj #paperfilter #SUP #tobaccoindustry

♻ My colleagues from Europe are exhibiting at the Battery Recycling Conference & Expo in Frankfurt next week on June 26th/ 27th. 📍 Visit us at booth #A05 to learn more about our vacuum drying solutions for shredded batteries and black mass. 🌟Why Vacuum Drying? 🔹 Efficiency and Effectiveness: Vacuum drying accelerates the removal of moisture from used batteries, ensuring they are safely processed without the risk of short circuits or other hazards associated with residual moisture. 🔹 Enhanced Safety: By operating under reduced pressure, vacuum drying minimizes the risk of thermal runaway and other potential safety issues during the recycling process. 🔹 Environmental Impact: This method reduces the energy consumption compared to traditional drying techniques, aligning perfectly with the green ethos of the EV industry. 🔹 Material Recovery: Ensuring thorough drying improves the efficiency of subsequent material separation processes, leading to higher recovery rates of valuable metals like lithium, cobalt, and nickel. #blackmass #batteryrecycling #vacuumdrying #verticaldrying #circulareconomy #solventrecovery #lithium #lithiumionbatteries #EVrecycling #sustainableenergy  EKATO SYSTEMS GmbH

Very interesting video about how Technoform has tackled the challenges of the thermoplastic market, from initial scepticism towards bio-based materials to the effective use of production waste and the development of single-variety recycling methods. 🌲 🌳 🌱 These strategies not only have an environmental impact, but also contribute to the quality of the products. 🚀 Which challenges do you see for the sustainability goals of your company? 💪

🌍 𝗘𝘅𝗰𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 🌍   Escher Process Modules B.V. is proud to announce our latest collaboration with SDS Separation Technology. Together, we have signed a 𝗠𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘂𝗺 𝗼𝗳 𝗨𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴, marking the start of an ambitious journey to mutually develop #CO2 capture technology. This new system promises improved efficiency, while requiring less solvent and this in a more compact design.   Our joint aim is to advance and commercialise this innovative technology, poised to make a substantial impact in the #carbon capture market.   Through this partnership, we're not just focusing on technological advancement, but also on supporting the industry's effort to minimise its CO2 footprint, this in line with our commitment to #sustainability.   Captured in the attached photo is a defining moment, with Martijn In der Maur from Escher and Albert van Lawick van Pabst from SDS, illustrating our shared vision for a sustainable and innovative future.   A special thank you to Cor Saris, Piet Geerts, and Maarten B. for their support and contributions in reaching this agreement.   #CO2capture #sustainability #innovation #partnership #EscherProcessModules #SDSSeparationTechnology

Our Restore Harrow Green Laboratory Services team are leading the way in sustainability in the laboratory relocation industry!   In the past 3 months we have collected 646 pieces of laboratory equipment from customers across the UK. These items have a combined weight of approximately 25 tonnes and could have ended up in WEEE waste / recycling, or been stored taking up valuable lab space.   However, these items have been removed by our teams, cleaned and refurbished, and are currently being resold.   So far, out of the 646 items, 214 items have been resold, with revenue generated being returned back to our customers.   This equates to 19,227 CO2e saving from recycling to reuse, which is the equivalent of: 9 cars being taken off the road a year and planting 320 urban trees. When all of the 646 items have been resold, this will be a 68,127 CO2e saving.     We have also been able to collect a lot of these items using our electric vehicles!   If you have any laboratory equipment that you no longer require then please get in touch with our team.   #sustainability #electricvehicles #lifescienceindustry #pharma #biotech

Well informed about the potential of Pyrolysis? Our speakers from Plastic Energy Anellotech, Inc. Mura Technology CARBOLIQ GmbH and BlueAlp will provide a proper update at the Advanced Recycling Conference 2023. https://lnkd.in/d9j2U3YX Pyrolysis is a versatile thermochemical process producing a wide range of products that can be utilised in the chemical and plastics industry. The boundaries to other thermochemical processes are fluid, and may occur under similar reaction conditions. Depending on the reactor and reaction design as well as the feedstock open or closed recycling loops are realised. Technology providers are presenting their unique process and products as well as upscaling plans. We welcome our speakers Carlos Monreal Leslaw Mleczko Oliver Borek Christian Haupts Valentijn de Neve #AdvancedRecycling #RenewableCarbon #CircularEconomy #ChemialRecycling #Depolymerisation #SustainableChemistry
