There’s a great concern about sustainability in the construction industry, with engineers and architects looking towards viable green solutions to create structures and buildings that care for the environment more than they have previously done.

As part of the NextLap program, managed by the collaborative innovation consultancy Beta-i and promoted by the Portuguese management entity Valorpneu and the Danish-based recycler Genan, nine companies associated with the sector’s value chain and five entrepreneurs have started to develop six projects focused on giving a second life to materials derived from the recycling of end-of-life tires and promoting a more circular market.

The Circular Economy concept is an important element to reduce environmental impacts and raw material consumption. However, this concept alone, especially when it is reduced to recycling, will never be enough to achieve a sustainable society.

The world is experiencing a profound energy transition. Industrial manufacturers across the globe are swapping combustion fuels for electricity in line with global ambitions to decarbonize energy supply and improve energy productivity.

Shifting to a full circular clothing industry in the Netherlands won’t just impact the environment—it can also bring employment benefits, boosting job creation by as much as 25%.

The European Green Deal can easily be considered as the European Commission’s main current project.

Taking example and several references from customers within the commercial waste and post-consumer package sectors, STEINERT will present the opportunities and challenges encountered when jointly developing an optimum sorting solution.

In 2014, Indorama Ventures acquired the PET recycling Plant in Zapopan, Jal. (Mexico).

With only a week for industry to respond to the consultation on Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for Packaging Waste, UK’s compliance scheme Valpak has released detailed modelling for a range of the proposed options.

Because of their versatility, plastics make up the most widely used group of materials. They are also the most regulated in terms of safety and are used in an endless range of applications.

Stadler’s Service Data Cloud (SDC) provides a complete overview of the sorting plant’s operation with data captured from the facility’s equipment, unlocking opportunities to optimize its efficiency, facilitate troubleshooting and service support, and maximize uptime.
