This was the week of Hannover Messe. My timeline was full of posts and so I'm going to give you a taste of it in yours. 🙂 Of course I was there. And together with my partner in crime Jens I was on a mission. As the exhibitions theme was 'Energizing a Sustainable Industry', we've decided to check what the industry was presenting with regards to sustainability. We have seen a wild mix of manufacturers, consulting firms, startups and service providers from all over the world. And, as we spoke to quite some people, we heard a broad variety of opinions on the topic. Some positive, like "CSRD finally gives visibility to companies who really did something about climate change." or "Who would still want to work for a 3º company?" Some rather cynical, like "The current European ESG legislation leads to a sustainable loss of prosperity!" or straightout negative like "With this the German legislation drives energy intense industries out of the country." However, the trade fair showcased a large number of exhibitors who are actively and visibly working on the topic and coming up with super innovative solutions. And that's encouraging! 👏 My conclusion: There is progress. And companies using their chance to rethink products and processes are making the best out of the new regulations. They are showing that taking initiative instead of complaining can catapult you far ahead of your competition. #ilike #HM24 #sustainability #becomingfutureproof

FROM WASTE TO RESOURCES is not only unit B3 of DG Environment, European Commission, represented by one of the keynote speakers Mattia Pellegrini at the MISSION WASTE Final Event with Handelsblatt Media Group in Düsseldorf, it is setting as well the theme for the solution we (Microwave Solutions GmbH) will showcase to achieve #fullycircular packaging and unleash the volume of secondary raw materials needed: AI-POWERED MOLECULAR RECYCLING. Another important maker and shaker toward the achievement of circular economies and circular plastics is Evonik, and I am looking forward to hear from Dr. Jens Busse. Circular tech and circular material loops are decisive competitive factors for economies - what an opportunity to hear first-hand from "The Chief Economist" Prof. Bert Rürup. Passionately moderated by Annika S. and infused with a lot of great innovations from doers, makers and entrepreneurs of #THEMISSIONWaste - I am looking foward to see as many of you as possible in Düsseldorf! #chemicalrecycling #molecularrecycling

CCU EVENTS I Our CCU Side Event and 3rd Day at ACHEMA 2024 On Monday, we organised and hosted a Carbon Capture and Utilisation (#CCU) side event at #ACHEMA24. Our Secretary General Anastasios Perimenis moderated the event with speakers and panelists consisting of members. The event discussed CCU’s journey from research to commercialisation and achieving industrial symbiosis by capturing carbon as an alternative chemical feedstock. It spotlighted: 🔵 The challenges of bringing CCU solutions from validation at the research stage to demonstration at the industrial scale. 🔵 The new opportunities for collaboration opened through CCU among industrial actors that would traditionally not work alongside one another. Until the end of the event on Friday 14 June, we will be at our booth in the Green Innovation area (Hall 6.0 Booth A78), shared with the INITIATE project which CO₂ Value Europe is proudly part of as a WP7 leader in communication and dissemination. Come visit us to talk CCU! ACHEMA, taking place in Frankfurt (DE), is home to the entire technology and service spectrum of the process industries. With more than 110,000 m² of exhibition space, it brings together experts and executives from all over the world and is characterised by numerous product premieres and technology presentations. The event is a signpost and source of inspiration for the globally networked process industries and their players.   Find out more about the event at https://www.achema.de/en/. The INITIATE project, funded by the Horizon 2020 EU program, will advance the implementation of circular economy, industrial symbiosis, and CCU by re-using residual steel gases as a resource for the cross-sectorial, more efficient, and less wasteful manufacture of urea, at a significantly reduced carbon footprint.

FAKUMA ROUND TABLE 2024! Moderator Markus Lüling asks the high-calibre speakers two teaser questions on the discussion topic, here on Prof. Dr. Michael Braungart, BRAUNGART EPEA - Internationale Umweltforschung GmbH: What attracts you to the podium with plastics processors, recycling technicians and mechanical engineers? "If you want to do something new, you need reliability and trust and you have to find co-operation partners. Fakuma is an ideal platform for this." What are the missing prerequisites for a real breakthrough in the circular economy? Can digitalisation save what doesn’t work in the analogue world? "Digitalisation is what makes a genuine circular economy possible in the first place, because it can abolish the concept of waste, as both the composition and the whereabouts of materials can be traced at any time. It is therefore only a matter of time before the circular economy becomes established." Be part of it! The event will take place in German on 15 October 2024, 16:00 in the Conference Centre East, Room Berlin. Duration approx. 1 hour followed by a get-together. #Fakuma2024 #RoundTable #circulareconomy #digitalisation Annemarie Schur, Georg Knauer, SCHALL MESSEN, Messe Friedrichshafen GmbH
