👀 73-year-old plastic bottles still look the same... It's time for #change! Check out team SeCaRa to learn more about innovative plastic recycling methods! #GreenChemistry #Innovation #Transfer #startup
🌍 The Longevity of Plastic: A Stark Reminder from Landfills 🌍 Here we can perfectly see the effect of landfilling on plastic - almost none. A coworker collected these items from a landfill around #Aachen. This #Pril bottle, for instance, dates most likely back to 1951 - 73 years ago. The people who enjoyed this Henkel detergent are propably no longer with us, but the bottle remains fully intact, showing only mechanical damage from back then. Truly impressive and eye-opening! The same applies to this pack of medication from Merck Group, which once contained Nedolon. We were not able to date it back, but maybe someone from Merck Group could help us out here? Philipp Steitz Nico Fleck Let's use this as a reminder of how much plastic is still deposited in landfills and to boost our strive for new pathways of recycling 🌱 #Sustainability #PlasticPollution #EnvironmentalImpact #CircularEconomy #PlasticWaste #MechanicalRecycling #ChemicalRecycling Feel free to connect and discuss ways we can collectively boost circular economy! 💬🌿
