UPM Pulp’s Post

TL;DR digitalization is big part of our commercial strategy. But IMO the best nugget is in the end: "I’d say that we’re on the verge of a revolutionary change towards an information supply chain model where customers have the power to decide how they want to utilise the data provided by suppliers." The idea is that data infrastructure develops fast (APIs are a standard thing and so on), but even more importantly ability to use that infrastructure (like how to get data through API) is remarkably easier than some time ago. It is both due to better software that connects easier, but also due to LLMs that can give instructions to non-tech people on how to connect and use data. So if you don't like to login to a customer portal, maybe you can easily configure automated weekly e-mail to you inbox containing data relevant to you. Or go to a chatbot to get data that we have on our business relationship, like orders, deliveries or sustainability.

Exciting developments in chemical recycling processes for the plastics industry were discussed last week at ACHEMA 2024! Dorota Pawlucka, Dr. Catherine Lövenich, and Prof Sebastian Engell shared insights on the Circular Foam project, highlighting the importance of building full value chains and systemic circular solutions including recycling technology, waste collection and sorting steps for rigid PUR foams. Looking forward to seeing how these innovations will shape the future of plastics recycling in Europe! #CircularEconomy #ChemicalRecycling #PlasticIndustry #ACHEMA2024

On February 21st and 22nd, the 21st Inno-Meeting “Alternative Materials & Methods” will be held by Innoform - liefert Flexpackwissen.   💡 Valeska Haux will talk not only about #SÜDPACK’s sustainability goals, but also about “chemical recycling as a fundamental component for the closed-loop recycling of food packaging.” Find out how chemical recycling is revolutionizing the reuse of materials and how film packaging that contains recyclate can already be found in the market.   The talk will also cover “life cycle assessment for a holistic view of packaging solutions.”   👉🏼 Click here for the agenda and to register:  https://lnkd.in/eGv7fART   #circulareconomy #chemicalrecycling #closedloop 

NPE 2024: A Resounding Success for TSM with PCR Solutions for the North American Market! We are excited to share that NPE 2024 was a resounding success for TSM Control Systems! This premier plastics show, returning after six years, provided the perfect platform to showcase our innovative solutions and engage in meaningful conversations with industry leaders. A key highlight was the introduction of our Opti-Flake PCR solution, designed to enhance sustainability and efficiency in manufacturing. The growing interest in Post-Consumer Recyclates (PCR) was evident, as businesses strive to reduce their environmental impact and promote a circular economy. 👉 Read more about our success and the importance of PCR: https://lnkd.in/ezkQf9-H #NPE2024 #TSMControlSystems #Sustainability #PCRSolutions #OptiFlake #PlasticsIndustry #CircularEconomy #Innovation #SustainableManufacturing

US Plastics Pact winners Scott Dyvig and Joshua Russo, MBA, PMP have a great conversation with me about Lifoam Industries How can packaging be more sustainable? Answer: make progress daily in hundreds of areas and work together to spread the word about these new innovations! #usplasticspact #sustainablepackaging

UPM Raflatac has launched its Carbon Action Plastic Labels portfolio. The first products offered under the Carbon Action portfolio are available to customers in EMEIA and the Americas. Designed to address the entire value chain's impact, the Carbon Action portfolio offers a tangible path towards achieving Scope 3 emission reductions for printers and brand owners. The new portfolio leverages the power of circular economy principles and provides measurable emissions reductions to help customers and brands to lower the carbon footprint of their packaging materials without compromising on label quality or performance.

We were featured on Interplas Insights in their recent article on 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝘆𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝘆𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 The global plastics recycling market is in the midst of transformative change, with groundbreaking innovations reshaping its landscape. From advanced chemical processes to AI-driven sorting systems, these advancements hold the key to unlocking new value from used plastics. As we strive for greater circularity and sustainability, these technologies promise to expand recycling capacity, improve resin quality, and create new markets for recycled materials. With continued investment and development, recycled polymers are poised to capture a significant share of the global manufacturing sector, driving environmental progress and economic growth. Let's embrace these innovations for a greener future! 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐅𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐀𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐥𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞: https://lnkd.in/gxQpEchf #plasticsrecycling #greentechnology #recycledmaterials #zerowaste

👇 Plastic is essential in our daily lives, but its recycling still represents a challenge. Thus, the Enzycle project, funded by Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking (CBE JU) and coordinated by ITENE, has developed innovative enzymatic processes that make it possible to #recycle #plastics that until now were impossible to treat to obtain new raw materials, boosting the #circulareconomy. Precisely, this September 16, our experts participated in the Review Meeting of this project, completed this year. What were the results? ♻️ An international team has developed enzymes capable of breaking down plastics into their original components.  ️♻️ ️ ️These enzymes make it possible to recycle plastics and transform them into new high-performance materials for sectors such as #packaging and #packaging, #transportation, construction and #textile.  More info: https://lnkd.in/dKBCXHZq #sustainability

#demand ♻ We are happy to welcome as a speaker Frans Stokman, Executive Director at Cefic “Demand” across the (chemical) value chains has many dimensions, ranging from e.g. demand for feedstocks, imports/exports, intermediates, waste, recycled content and required standards, through to demand for sustainable end products. Also, the EU Commission is actively looking into more pull-on-demand. Frans, in his presentation, will explore the status of the various dimensions. 🔥 200 participants confirmed their participation representing the entire plastics circular economy value chain. 👉 Download the attendee list: https://lnkd.in/dSB6YEtk 👉 You can view the updated agenda here: https://lnkd.in/gknjkvk 👉 Here is how to join: https://lnkd.in/eiKwrQq #circulareconomy #cefic #gocircular
