Advancing Sustainable Chemical Solutions

Without products based directly or indirectly on chemicals, life as we know it would be unsustainable. According to various sources, more than 95% of the products around us are either made by the chemical industry or involve at least one chemical process step in their manufacture.

Into the Crucible: Will the European Chemicals Industry Rise to the Circularity Challenge?

Chemicals are a critical, but often overlooked, factor of success for a circular economy. 96% of all products on European markets, from food to medical treatments, from buildings to consumer electronics, rely on chemicals, so this shouldn’t come as a surprise. But what does circularity mean for the future of the chemicals industry? Should it embrace circular systems or resist them?

Upcycling of Post-Consumer PLA Waste

Designed for their performance and durability, synthetic plastics have become indispensable as “materials of every-day use”. However, their characteristic long life span and indiscriminate disposal have led to an acute problem of plastic pollution. In order to address this issue, the European Union is not only trying to adopt a circular system to reuse, repair and recycle plastics (circular economy) but it also aims to produce plastics out of renewable resources (biobased plastics).

Reshaping Adhesion - and the Industry

Hybrid assemblies, joints of dissimilar materials, are everywhere - in our smartphones, cars, TVs, dishwashers, in planes and so on. However, in modern products we increasingly rely on plastics, which are intrinsically hard to bond to other types of material — and by using industrial glue for the bonding the parts cannot be recy­cled easily. Solving this monumental challenge inspired the foun­dation of the Danish start-up company RadiSurf five years ago.

Contributing to the Circular Economy

Cellugy was founded two years ago by a diverse team of young academics and professionals from Spain, Indonesia, Albania, and Denmark. Working together at Aarhus University in Denmark, the idea of developing a material based on nanocellulose as an alternative to plastic barrier coatings arose and grew into a start-up and a first product. Co-founders Isabel Alvarez-Martos and Deby Fapyane talk about their motivation and vision.
