In a recent K-MAG interview, Michael Köster discusses the progress we have made together with RE Plano in plastics recycling using AI-based technologies. This partnership has resulted in improved sorting efficiencies for PP and PE plastics. Our AI-based sorting programmes, integrating NIR and colour cameras, are setting new standards in the industry. Key results include a significant increase in sorting purity to levels comparable to PET recycling. This progress demonstrates our commitment to sustainable practices and innovation in recycling.

Sounds like an interesting New packing mateial! Go's with the 'no plastic' substitution actions that that keeps the industry or let's say more the consumers on their toes. I wonder what paper quality can be used to produce such a paper. Can it be recycling material or do they need virgin? Even when it's brown in this paper it looks like non bleached virgin material. Which would be not 'very' ecologically useful from a CO2eq impact. For end of life it sounds good that no glue etc. is used. I will look deeper into it and let you know. Or do you know more about that product? #paper #recycling #newmaterial #virgin

💡 Recommendation for product development: Different aspects of product life phases need to be considered to design products in a resource-efficient way. The VDI e.V. Centre for Resource Efficiency (VDI ZRE) offers an online collection of recommendations to small and medium-sized enterprises to support them with the planning, development, and modification of existing products. This tool provides recommendations for product design, depending on one’s own product-related framework conditions. Product type, life cycle phases, pollutants and the use of recycled materials are also taken into account and resource efficiency strategies and eco-design principles are assigned to the recommendations. It is part of VDI ZRE's "Design for Resource Efficiency" toolkit. The tool, commissioned by the Bundesministerium für Umwelt, Naturschutz, nukleare Sicherheit und Verbraucherschutz (BMUV), will be updated and expanded at regular interval and can be found here 👇🏼 #PLM #Resources #ResourceEfficiency #VDI #EcoDesign

How do voestalpine Engineered Products improve C02 balance and increase material performance? We’re pleased to share a recent article in Industrieanzeiger (German-language industry magazine), which answers this very question.

Did you know? Only 1 % of the world's textile waste is currently recycled. We want to change that! Find out more about Trützschler’s contribution in an interview with our CEO Dr. Ulrich Schwenken in the German business magazine "WirtschaftsWoche".   A great article about textile recycling, challenges and opportunities, upcoming legislative initiatives and our TRUECYCLED solution.

#DidYouKnow that researchers at our member ITA Institut für Textiltechnik der RWTH Aachen University, and The University of Bonn and Heimbach Group have developed a new method for removing oil spills from water surfaces in an energy-saving, cost-effective way and without the use of toxic substances?🛢 The method is made possible by a technical textile that is integrated into a floating container. A single small device can remove up to 4 litres of diesel within an hour. This corresponds to about 100 m2 of oil film on a water surface. Learn more ⬇ https://lnkd.in/e_rjQSc8

Being ecological is efficiency-driven! At the Munich Automobil Produktion Kongress, we learned that 57% of production costs are material costs. Therefore, the less you waste, the better your business works. There's the catch: as side effect of being more efficient, you're also environmentally friendly. You can’t just be ordered being more ecological. Saving the planet will be achieved by technology, not by living in the Stone Age! Remember, these are not opposing targets. So let's be productive and help save the planet! #ecofriendly #efficiency #sustainability

Dr Maria Crespo, Lecturer in Green Energy together with The Tyre Collective, a startup capturing tyre pollution from vehicles, developed batteries and pressure sensors from tyre wear particles. Their work is currently on display at Material Matters, one of the UK's leading exhibitions of innovative materials in the OXO Tower Gallery. Come and see it! Six million tonnes of tyre wear particles are released globally each year, and in London alone, 2.6 million vehicles emit around nine thousand tonnes of tyre wear particles annually, and a significant proportion of this ends up in our waterways and soil. Dr Crespo-Ribadeneyra's and Tyre Collective offer a sustainable solution to the problem: the first on-vehicle device to capture tyre wear at the source, which uses electrostatics and airflow to attract tyre particles. Once captured, this pollution can be upcycled into a variety of applications, creating a closed-loop system. QMUL School of Engineering and Materials Science #smartmaterials #tyredust #sustainability
