Eco Development is excited to work alongside University of Cincinnati College of Medicine to help them meet their sustainability goals. "The passion and advocacy of a small number of committed people have led the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine to take on an ambitious new project: a program to recycle expanded polystyrene (EPS), including styrofoam and plastic foam packaging." -Megan Burgasser #UniversityofCincinnatiCollegeofMedicine #recycleEPS #recyclestyrofoam #sustainability #UC #UniversityofCincinnati #EPSIA #recycle

This is a great document by Chris DeArmitt - PhD, FRSC, FIMMM For those wanting Facts over fake news on Plastics have a read of this. It states scientific facts about Plastic. #chrisDeArmitt #plasticrevolution #Fonterra #plasticrecycling #plasticpact

G is for... Green Chemistry! Green chemistry is all about designing chemical products and processes that minimize the use and creation of harmful substances. In PET plastics, it means implementing eco-friendly solutions that make production and recycling safer and cleaner. Think non-toxic catalysts, waste reduction, and energy-efficient processes! ???? By embracing green chemistry, the PET industry can significantly reduce its environmental footprint and help build a healthier, more sustainable world. ??? #SustainablePlastics #GreenChemistry #CircularEconomy

"...First developed for?Coca-Cola?products in the late 1960s, life cycle assessments — and their intentions — have evolved over the years. The studies aim to look at the environmental implications of a product from its raw material collection to its final destination, whether that’s a landfill, a compost pile, or the depths of the ocean. Creating an LCA requires pulling data and quantifying the water consumption, ozone depletion, pollution and other harms of a given product. When the Oregon system starts shaping recycling in July 2025, LCAs will peek through in a few places, encouraging specific corporate decisions. How much money a company owes into the EPR system depends on what kinds of packaging material they use and how many tons of it are used in the state.?The top 25 producers are required to create LCAs for 1% of their products sold or distributed in the state every two years, while smaller companies can voluntarily submit LCAs if they want to earn a reduction on the fee they owe. Both kinds of companies could earn a discount if they opt to take their LCAs a step further and use them to prove they have reduced the environmental impact of a product." #LifeCycleAssessment #LCA #EPR #Recycling https://lnkd.in/eHHkcXQQ?

Interesting panel discussion with the speakers of the second part of the Parallel-Session Mechanical, Physical and Chemical Recycling: Roy Visser, Mathias Kirstein, Dr. Matthias Wilhelm, Florian Riedl #renewablematerials #circulareconomy #2024RMC #recycling

Do you know about Massachusetts' nine Materials Recovery Facilities (known as MRFs)? ?? In total, the facilities sort over 648,000 tons of plastic, paper, bottles and cans every year. Once these recyclables are sorted, they're then compressed down in a 1,000-pound bale and sold to recycling companies so they can be repurposed. ?? For instance, plastics can be turned into new materials for packaging, housewares, textiles, automotive and agriculture products. ?????? So if you're seeing anything that says Massachusetts doesn't recycle, you can now tell them about MRFs and all they're doing to make the state a little greener!

This Thursday,?September 19, 2024, at Global Plastic Solutions Cafe, we?continue with the latest news in both medical and technology research with?Dr. Raymond Timm of the University of Washington?with sustainability certifications from MIT and Columbia Univ. Plastics:?In a century they have integrated every part of our lives. Now what? Everyday there is new information, from medical findings to evolving waste to energy technology such as pyrolysis, gasification?and creative new applications in building materials. For melting and repurposing plastic, does research exist to inform safety in off gassing and load bearing? What are other critical or more critical issues to address such as tire dust.? "No solutions are perfect. Some are (much) better than others. How do we find the best ones? That should be our objective.”?Dr. Timm https://lnkd.in/gNzj6_rB

Plastics Machinery & Manufacturing met with NOVA's Alan Schrob to discuss the opportunities that NOVA's first mechanical recycling facility in Connersville, Indiana, will bring for a closed-loop system. Alan provides details about the facility and obstacles NOVA overcame while building, and the collaboration required to "truly change the way plastic is produced and recycled."
