It’s been a busy month for REPOXYBLE project the EU Horizon-funded project, which aims to create fully chemically recyclable epoxy composites, and in which Gurit is a partner. June marked halfway for the project, so it was time for a review meeting with the Project Officer from the European Commission, who was very pleased with progress. Project members attended the European Health and Digital Executive Agency (HaDEA) workshop 'Efficient, Lightweight, Sustainable Advanced Materials – Supporting EU industries to meet the Green Deal targets'. Repoxyble also held its first Open Innovation Workshop, where more than 50 stakeholders discussed processes and methods for recycling, reusing, and recovering advanced composite materials in the transport sector.

#Meraxis is convinced that digital solutions 💻 can make a major contribution to the sustainable use of plastics – now and especially in the future. 🍃 On Tuesday, January 16, 2024, the project «Towards a NetZero Plastics Industry» was launched at the Production Management at the Institute of Technology Management, University of St.Gallen. Together with 17 other implementation partners and four research partners, we are working on the project funded by Innosuisse. Together, we want to empower processors, recyclers, and manufacturers to be even more resource-efficient in their use of plastics. We will achieve this with digitally processed data, derived recommendations for action, and optimized value chains and production processes. 👉 Want to know more? Michael Grysczyk, Director Digital & Disruptive Business, will be happy to answer your questions. #partnerships #polymerindustry #strongertogether #meraxis

We are pleased to share with you our Cradle-ALP Circular transformation roadmap for the Polymer-based composites industry ! 🔗 Composites, and in particular Fiber Reinforced Plastics, are essential materials in the industry due to their performance, weight and durability. However, these same properties pose significant challenges for circularity. ♻ This transformation roadmap was developed with the invaluable support of enterprises, academics, clusters and public stakeholders from the Alpine region who participated in our roadmapping workshop. It aims to address these challenges and suggest short, mid and long-term solutions to guide the industry towards sustainability. 👉 Read the roadmap document here: https://lnkd.in/dHfU2W2s #cradletocradle #sustainability #circulareconomy #interregalpinespace

Final Year Project Completion Our research focused on sustainability and circularity, titled 'To recycle the post-consumer waste generates from used cigarette filter fibers'. Transforming discarded cigarette filter fibers into a valuable and environmental friendly product has been a rewarding experience filled with innovation and new discoveries. Here are some of our key achievements: ●Sustainable Approach: Assessed the adverse environmental impact from cigarette butts, and to reduce it, showcased the potential of our project to contribute to a greener and sustainable future by minimizing the waste and recycling them into a source for thermal insulation in walls. ●Detailed analysis: Conducted detailed analysis and testing to evaluate the mechanical and physical properties of our filter fibers to select the suitable application. ●Creative and Innovative Development: Based on the testing and evaluation, transformed cigarette filter fibers into thermal insulation samples. I would like to thank our supervisor, Dr. shenela naqvi and Co- supervisor Dr.Farhana Naeem as this project couldn't be accomplished without their immense support and guidance, and also the efforts of dedicated team members Hiba Sajid, Hafsa Muhammad and Irha Khan. We are enthusiastic about the potential positive impact of our research and aspire to advance the field of sustainable materials.

It was an absolute pleasure to present a keynote together with Julian Kirchherr at the World Plastics Innovation Summit in Berlin. We discussed my favorite topic: what's preventing plastics from being circular today, and what steps brand owners, converters, petrochemical companies, waste managers, recyclers, and governments can take to close this gap. Is that also one of your favorite topics? Send me a message and I'll share our presentation. Thanks to Luxatia International for putting on an excellent conference! #plasticsrecycling #circulareconomy #sustainableplastics
