Sustainable Packaging Summit’s Post

Exciting news in the world of sustainable packaging! The formation of the Advanced Packaging Association (APA) marks a significant step towards promoting polyamide-based packaging solutions. Industry giants like BASF, UBE, ENVALIOR in addition to DOMO Chemicals and GRUPA AZOTY ATT Polymers are leading the way, showcasing the recyclability and performance of polyamide as a flexible packaging material. Polyamide offers mechanical strength, flexibility, and barrier properties that protect perishables and reduce food waste. The APA's commitment to a fact-based sustainability assessment could redefine standards for recyclable packaging. As we aim for a more sustainable future, key questions arise: - How will the APA's efforts influence global packaging regulations? - Can polyamide effectively balance functionality with recyclability at scale? - What challenges exist in convincing the entire value chain to adopt these solutions? #SustainablePackaging #Polyamide #Recycling #Innovation #APA

"The #seaweed Bio-#Plastics market could reach a value of $1.8bn by 2030, rising to $45bn by 2050. Standard Chartered’s #ESG research report “Seaweed: Kelp is on the way” shows that expanding the seaweed Industry has the potential to improve the #health of our #oceans while contributing a wide range of other #sustainable outcomes, including #food sources, #feedstocks and as an alternative to Plastics." https://lnkd.in/gCKjgUzB

#demand ♻ We are happy to welcome as a speaker Frans Stokman, Executive Director at Cefic “Demand” across the (chemical) value chains has many dimensions, ranging from e.g. demand for feedstocks, imports/exports, intermediates, waste, recycled content and required standards, through to demand for sustainable end products. Also, the EU Commission is actively looking into more pull-on-demand. Frans, in his presentation, will explore the status of the various dimensions. 🔥 200+ participants confirmed their participation representing the entire plastics circular economy value chain. 👉 Download the attendee list: https://lnkd.in/dSB6YEtk 👉 You can view the updated agenda here: https://lnkd.in/gknjkvk 👉 Here is how to join: https://lnkd.in/eiKwrQq #circulareconomy #cefic #gocircular

Thrilled to introduce our distinguished speakers for the Circular Plastics Packaging Europe - 24th GEPET Series conference, happening on 6-7 May 2024 in Rotterdam, for a Round Table Discussion on:   1. Will the EU PET and rPET industry see better days ahead? Antonello Ciotti, President of Petcore Europe   2. Trade dynamics of rPET import into the EU Ahmed Nabil Elmizayen, Development Strategy Lead of Bantam Materials UK   3. Upstream trends and regional competition Stewart Hardy, Senior Consultant of NexantECA, Energy and Chemicals Advisory   The conference will also explore the challenges and opportunities of promoting recycled plastics amid rising recyclate prices. Consumer pressure, voluntary pledges, and new legislation are key drivers in shaping optimism for recycled polymers, while logistical disruptions in the Red Sea impact PET feedstock and prices. The conference will also dissect the EU’s new Packaging & Package Waste regulations, focusing on incentivizing sorting and recycling facilities and investing in advanced technologies for better quality recycled materials. Additionally, discussions will delve into the role of chemical recycling technologies in building a circular economy, addressing challenges in mass balance and recycled content allocation. Market readiness for scaling up reuse systems and implementing clear requirements for reusable packaging design will also be assessed.   Plus as part of the Circular Plastics Packaging Europe - 24th GEPET Series conference, there will be a half-day workshop on “Recycled Packaging for Food Contact” offered as an independent session.

LyondellBasell is betting big on #advancedrecycling with the announcement of an industrial-scale MoReTec pyrolysis process demonstration plant in Germany. The EU is yet to sign off on officially designating #chemicalrecycling as a #sustainable process that address the issue of plastic waste. This major investment will hopefully give some impetus to that process. #plastics #sustainability https://lnkd.in/d99RX3pc
