Our newly-developed and patented PHBV-coated fertilizers with controlled release properties excellently fit into this Dutch Circular Economy Programme
🌐 The Dutch government has shared its ambitions and targets to achieve a fully circular economy by 2050 in their National Circular Economy Program 2023-2030. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/e7THSyxM 🔄 The National plan is praiseworthy as it centers on circular design to address the underlying issues of waste generation, pollution, and energy-intensive processes. It specifically emphasizes the reduction and substitution of primary raw materials within products. This is achieved by creating circular flows primarily composed of reusable primary, secondary, and sustainable bio-based raw materials. The goal is to transition away from linear resource use patterns and promote by: • Reducing raw material usage by using fewer (primary) raw materials through abstaining from the production or purchase of products. • Substituting raw materials with secondary raw materials and sustainable bio-based alternatives. • Extending product lifetime for longer and more intensive use through reuse and repair. • High-grade processing for closing the loop by recycling materials and raw materials. 🔄 The plan acknowledges that recycling alone is not the answer to closing the loop for a circular economy. In their strategy, recycling is supported by reduction, repair, and substitution of fossil-based materials with bio-based raw materials. Furthermore, there is a good understanding that as long as plastics exist and are not fully degradable in nature, new microplastics will be released, posing risks to human health and the environment. 🌍 Emphasis is placed on the crucial role of policy in fostering the supply and demand of bio-based plastics within countries. The government announces that over the coming years, both public and private investments in recyclate and bio-based plastics will be promoted by means of incentives. 👏 We applaud the Dutch government for its proactive efforts in exploring the merits of bio-based materials as substitutes for fossil-based counterparts, thereby contributing significantly to the pursuit of a truly circular economy. This commitment to sustainable practices is truly commendable and sets a positive example for responsible governance. #CircularEconomy #Sustainability #SuitableSubstitutes #Biobased

Driving Sustainability Forward: Neste's Breakthrough with Discarded Tires 🔥🍃 Big news from the green chemistry arena! Neste has just made a landmark achievement in our collective journey toward sustainability. By processing pyrolysis oil sourced from discarded tires, they're piloting a future where waste is not the end, but the beginning of new materials. Let's talk about transformation. 🔄 Scandinavian Enviro Systems, utilizing their cutting-edge pyrolysis technology, has become an essential ally. Together, they're turning end-of-life tires, a complex and traditionally non-recyclable material, into a high-quality raw material. Imagine the world's used tires not cluttering landfills but instead contributing valuable resources for new plastics and chemicals. This feat isn't just a win for Neste or environmental innovation alone. It's a score for circular economies across the globe. 🌍 By expanding the scope of chemical recycling, Neste is tackling the massive tire waste management issue head-on and leading us boldly toward a more sustainable, resource-efficient future. And there's more on the horizon. With Neste's Porvoo facilities scaling up to process an impressive 150,000 tons of liquefied waste plastic annually by 2025, the potential is enormous. This is a game-changer, and it's all part of Project PULSE — a beacon of progress fueled by EU Innovation Fund. So, let's celebrate this success and push for more visionary work like this.
