Wash and reuse plastic consumables in the labs is gratuity being proven and adopted globally to be the smarter, cleaner, and the way to the future. Most sustainable and best practices = circular economy solutions. #grenova #tipnovus #pipettetips #sustainability #circulareconomy

Companies such as ISO Horti Innovators already provide answers to Klaas Knot's questions! Also this video in which Paul Blom from Horti Innovators explains what is already being automated and robotized in greenhouse horticulture. Much more than many people know! This video also confirms the ignorance of Klaas Knot, president of the Dutch central bank, and Frans Timmermans, former Euro climate commissioner. Of course, innovations can and should happen faster. Also in greenhouse horticulture. Not only ISO Horti Innovators, but of course also Logiqs, Viscon, BvZ, Flier, Kind, Havecon, TTA, WPS and Taks are companies that help to improve the labor productivity of (greenhouse) horticulture. Not only does labor productivity increase, but the ISO video also shows that quality and sustainability improve and ultimately the grower's return increases. Maybe we can't even blame Klaas Knot and Frans Timmermans for their ignorance and we should show more of what we can do. Not only to Knot and Timmermans, but also to the rest of the world. I hope that Knot and Timmermans, like you, will find the time to visit the Greentech in the RAI next week on June 11-13, 2024. Then you can see it all in real life! #greentech #horticulture #floriculture #innovations #labourproductivity #iso #dnb #robotics #eu #greenhouses

🥑 Did you know that thanks to #ARPODES technology, developed by GHENOVA, with funding from CTA (Corporación Tecnológica de Andalucía) and Red.es, and with the collaboration of the Universidad de Sevilla, you can detect the optimum ripening point of the avocado? 📈 With this technology we help companies to improve their production. 🖥 Find out more about the #ARPODES project in the article published by Revista Alimentaria, which highlights the commitment of our company to innovation and the progress of this project ↪ https://lnkd.in/djCrW9Hf

How to become successful in #GreenChemistry? Or: How to develop traction in a market that does not exist? #TechnologyPush or #MissionDriven? In 2021, the #chemical #industry was responsible for almost 25% of the total #CO2 emissions in the Netherlands (CBS, 2023). Worldwide, the emissions of the chemical industry are still increasing. This is because the chemical industry is strongly dependent on fossil resources, not only as an energy source, but also as input material for most production processes. That is why we need Green Chemistry Innovations, from #startups and existing companies. The #GreenChemistryAccelerator (initiative from Groene Chemie, Nieuwe Economie) aims to support Green Chemistry Startups to get ready to build their first production facilities (Demo or Commercial) to develop a green economy. However, constructing and running a chemical production facility is not cheap; The #Startups are looking at #investments well beyond 10MEuro to make that first important step towards commercialization. As said, today’s chemical reality is far from green: it is fossil-based and most material flows are linear. Who buys materials for a future fossil-free reality? But that also means: who invests in a plant for the future? Without #off-#take no #funding. This was the ‘chicken-egg’ topic on the table during the #GCA masterclass at Paques Biomaterials In #Balk last Wednesday Jan van den Ende Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University helped the venture teams and venture partners frame their commercialization challenge in terms of ‘#EcosystemInnovation’ ('The Wide Lens', Ron Adner) and the teams mapped the #MinimalViableEcosystem ('Winning the Right Game', Ron Adner) for their next step towards #commercialisation. Which other parties will enable your value proposition to become reality? Which partners will need to co-innovate? Why would they want to work with you? One person asked: 'Is this technology push?' Maybe.. But we went for ‘#MissionDriven’. If we are serious about ‘greening’ the chemical industry, we will need to create the demand for green solutions. This means co-innovation, collaboration and co-creation - probably more than competition. We also concluded that there is an important role for government(s) in the #marketdevelopment for #green chemistry. Fast tracking the implementation of green regulations (e,g, inclusion of #recycled or #bio-based materials) or ‘prioritizing’ construction permits for ‘green facilities’ will accelerate the much needed scaling.

Another major milestone for ReCarbn! Since the start of ReCarbn in December last year, we secured € 500k in funding, kickstarting a new chapter in our startup journey. Our potential impact spans across industries, from greenhouse horticulture to the production of chemicals and proteins, providing them the opportunity to use a circular source of CO2 for their primary processes, instead of burning fossil fuels. Additionally, a market for 'negative emissions’, extracting and permanently storing CO2 from the air, is emerging, allowing hard-to-abate industries to transform to net zero faster. How you can help? 🤝 Using these funds we are able to finish the development of a demonstration unit that will capture 50 tons of CO2 each year, which we will use to test with launching customers. If you can, please connect us to any of the abovementioned markets or any other companies that are serious about reaching net zero. 📈 We will start preparing our next funding round in the coming months. Help us spread the word by following our LinkedIn page or subscribing to our newsletter at www.recarbn.eu.
