🧐 Did you know? Our adhesives are also designed for Packaging! 🧃 From transparent labels on bottles to resealable sealing lids on food packaging, our solutions are constantly reinventing themselves, to facilitate innovation and enable proper end of life. "As an overall flexible packaging business, the primary value of our solutions is enabling sustainability through two main approaches : First, a reduction in material used, as our solutions allow converters to design packages that consume less material. Second, our packages enable a more responsible end of life. For example, our solutions are certified by industry organizations to be compatible with recycling processes or can be used to design a compostable package." says Jeff Ogren, Global Flex Pack Segment Director Follow the latest news from the sector 👉 Bostik | Industrial

Continuation: Unveiling the Next Steps in Sustainable Packaging at PRM! As a leading design firm, we understand that the intersection of sustainability and design is crucial in creating a meaningful impact. Our latest innovation in sustainable packaging solutions is not just a technological advancement, but a testament to the power of thoughtful design. Our team in Taiwan has made remarkable progress, ensuring that our innovative solution is not only practical but also scalable. The compact machine is designed to seamlessly integrate into existing recycling infrastructures, allowing for widespread adoption and significant environmental impact. Leveraging cutting-edge technology, our compact machine employs a combination of mechanical, chemical, and enzymatic processes. This multi-faceted approach ensures that even the most complex bio-based packaging materials are efficiently broken down and repurposed. By focusing on aliphatic polyesters, such as PLA and PHA, we've addressed a critical gap in the recycling process, paving the way for a more inclusive and effective system. At PRM, we believe in the power of collaboration. We've partnered with leading experts and organizations to refine our machine's capabilities and expand its applications. This collaborative approach not only enhances the machine's performance but also accelerates our mission to create a truly circular economy for packaging materials. Our commitment to sustainability goes beyond recycling. The compact machine's design prioritizes energy efficiency and low emissions, ensuring that the recycling process itself is environmentally friendly. By converting bio-based packaging into valuable raw materials or high-value-added chemicals, we significantly reduce waste and promote the conservation of natural resources. As we continue to innovate and refine our solutions, we're excited about the potential for future applications. From reducing the environmental footprint of packaging to supporting the global shift towards sustainable practices, our compact machine represents a significant step forward in our journey. Design plays a pivotal role in the creation of sustainable solutions. By considering the entire lifecycle of a product, from initial conception to end-of-life disposal, we ensure that our solutions not only meet current needs but also contribute to a sustainable future. Our compact machine exemplifies how thoughtful design can drive innovation and create a lasting positive impact. We're dedicated to making a lasting impact on our planet, and we invite you to join us in this endeavor. Stay tuned for more updates on our progress, and explore how you can be a part of the movement towards a greener future. Together, we can make a difference—one innovation at a time. 🌱🌿 #SustainablePackaging #DesignInnovation #CircularEconomy #GreenFuture #BioBasedMaterials

Bostik focusing on adhesives and resins which support sustainability

ACI's Future of Chemical Recycling 2025 is taking place in NH Amsterdam Barbizon Palace Hotel in The Netherlands on the 5th - 6th February 2025. We are delighted to announce that Peter Schwarz, Head of Sustainability Technologies in Covestro will join us as a speaker and deliver a presentation titled: Advanced Recycling of Engineering Thermoplastics – A Differentiated View on Recyclability, where he will share insights on: ✔️ Engineering thermoplastics face specific problems in recycling: difficult to collect, widely distributed but only small amounts, small fractions ✔️ The generic chemical recycling processes – gasification or pyrolysis – struggle with the heteroatom content in most engineering plastics. Mechanical recycling often is no option as it always is downcycling. ✔️ Engineering thermoplastics offer an interesting potential for polymer-specific advanced recycling procedures, making “smaller circles” possible ✔️ Using Polycarbonate as an example, the presentation will thematize the different generic and specific advanced recycling routes and the particular problems of engineering thermoplastics in advanced recycling.

Do you want to learn more about good practices in circular packaging design, material recovery, consumer education and policy, and draw insights from them? Then register now for the online MERLIN webinar hosted by the Collaborating Centre on Sustainable Consumption and Production (CSCP) on March 27 between 10:00 and 12:30 👉 http://eepurl.com/iLknEs   You’ll find out more on these topics: 💡1) Circular design: packaging that is fit for purpose, easily recyclable, consists of renewable materials, sortable in the recycling system, separable, and makes positive contributions to the environment and circularity. 💡2) Material recovery: high-quality recovery of materials with increased purity and eco-efficiency. 💡3) Consumer education and policy recommendations: insights from consumer sorting and waste separation behaviour in packaging, and lessons for consumer education and policy. What exactly is MERLIN? MERLIN is a research project supported by a number of leading public and private organizations, will offer innovative solutions for all the processes required to increase the quality and rate of recycled plastic materials coming from multi-layer packaging waste.   What should I expect from the webinar? Circular design: This session will delve into how packaging should be designed to eliminate waste, increase circularity, and regenerate nature by ITENE, and what good practices and learnings regarding circular design, recycling, and consumer education exist, shared by Collaborating Centre on Sustainable Consumption and Production (CSCP). During the webinar, you will explore how Ioniqa Technologies employs its solvent-based depolymerization process to recover high-quality monomers from multi-layer packaging waste streams while Interseroh+ will explain their assessment tool “Made for Recycling” and daily best practices. Additionally, Collaborating Centre on Sustainable Consumption and Production (CSCP) will present effective insights into educating consumers regarding packaging waste disposal through the Packaging Club of the Consumer Insight Action Panel, followed by the roundtable discussion on the challenges and opportunities of circular packaging. Finally, the event will conclude with an interactive group discussion on prioritizing the recommendations for increasing the circularity of plastic packaging. Increase your know-how and network and….

The European Ecodesign Framework Regulation ESPR (Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation) ➡️ http://tuv.li/1kBU , as part of the European Union’s efforts to promote sustainability and circular economy, came into force on July 18, 2024 and the provisions of the regulation will apply from July 18, 2026. The core mission of the ESPR is to ensure that products placed on the EU market are designed to be environmentally friendly, resource-efficient, and circular. The ESPR is also applicable to a large variety of products, including machinery. It emphasizes sustainable design to minimize environmental impact across the product lifecycle and improve energy and material efficiency, durability, reparability, and recyclability. Additionally, the ESPR mandates the use of a Digital Product Passport (DPP) for machinery. The DPP aims to boost traceability and transparency by making comprehensive information about the product and its lifecycle digitally accessible. Collectively, the ESPR aspires to transform the market towards more sustainable and circular products, fundamentally changing how machinery is designed, produced, and managed throughout its lifecycle within the EU. The specific details for machinery and other products will be outlined in subsequent delegated acts, expected to be released from 2025 onwards. We at TÜV Rheinland are committed to assisting you in understanding and complying with these new requirements.
