While #fueleconomy and #electrification will play a key role to #decarbonize commercial #transportation operations, the application of lower-carbon-footprint lubricants can also support these accelerated #sustainability goals. Enter Castrol's new MoreCircular program provides lower carbon footprint lubricants that encompass the entire process of collecting used oil from business customers, re-refining it, and integrating re-refined base oil into a line of premium lubricants.

🔍Not enough consumers want to pay higher prices for recycled polymers, placing a low value on the hydrogen content – could fuel subsidies attract polymer waste? 🔍It seems counter-intuitive, but where recycling costs are very high, hydrogen as syngas may win, especially if it can attract fuel or power-related incentives. 🔍Participants should focus more on all mechanisms to avoid plastic waste and re-use in environmentally and economically optimal ways – more than just recycling. 🔍The green lobby wants plastics eliminated rather than recycled, making recycling incentives appear unlikely – we will likely see more consumer mandates to recycle. 🔍Otherwise, we look at more potential company failures and why Air Products strategy is less popular – we also critique the latest EIA forecast as misleading.

The petroleum packaging industry is unique from most other industries. How so? - Due to the residual product left after use, disposal is predominantly landfill. - In the US, petroleum packaging, generally cannot be collected via typical curbside collection. - The absence of a dedicated collection and recycling system to separate it from other waste streams results in the packaging materials having negative value after use. -The petroleum packaging industry only constitutes a small fraction of all packaging waste across the US; as such, there are minimal opportunities to benefit from broad, multi-industry investments and community-based solutions. 🤔 What is the solution? The NLCRC is taking action to develop solutions for the recovery and recycling of petroleum-based and related products and materials. We are Bringing Value to Brand Owners.

The National Lubricant Container Recycling Coalition, or “NLCRC,” is an industry-led coalition funded by a committed consortium of value chain stakeholders focused on establishing solutions for recovery and recycling of packaging for petroleum-based and related products utilized in transportation and industrial applications.

Are you familiar with The Challenges of Petroleum-Based and Related Products? - The Petroleum Packaging Industry is unique from most other industries due to the complications caused by residual products (petroleum or related liquids) left in the packaging after use. - Disposal is predominantly “landfill only” across the US, and due to the absence of a dedicated collection and recycling system to separate it from other waste streams, it results in a “negative value” of the packaging materials at the end of life (use). - Because the petroleum packaging industry (including automotive, transportation, and other industrial applications) only constitutes a small fraction of all packaging waste across the US, there are minimal opportunities to benefit from broad, multi-industry investments and/or community-based solutions. - Key stakeholders in the petroleum-based and related products supply chain must be part of the solution to address the problem or run the risk of being perceived as contributing to it. - Taking action to develop solutions addressing petroleum-based and related products and materials is becoming necessary for companies to avoid public scrutiny and maintain reputational value, which can be critical to maintaining shareholder confidence and customers’ expectations for more sustainable products. Addressing a complex challenge such as this requires Collective Action. Cost-effective solutions require collaboration with multiple stakeholders (including competitors) upstream and downstream of the petroleum and related products value chain. Learn more about the NLCRC and how we are accelerating the achievement of packaging recycling solutions for our Industry that drive circularity. https://bit.ly/3NG9qPQ #petroleumpackaging #circulareconomy #packaging #recycling #EPR #sustainability #petroleum #packagingEPR #CA #CO #OR #WA #Maine #extendedproducerresponsibility

BASF's Global Production Sites Achieve ISCC+ Certification July 23, 2024 – BASF's global major production sites for acrylics, alcohols, ethylene glycols, and acetate products have achieved ISCC+ certification, further supporting customers in reaching their sustainability goals and visions. This initiative enables over 60 products within BASF's portfolio to encompass a range of sustainability attributes. In addition to high-quality, reliable "classic" products, a significant portion of the portfolio now offers options with diverse sustainability attributes: "Low Carbon Footprint" and "Zero Carbon Footprint" products lead in reducing the carbon footprint, helping customers achieve their greenhouse gas reduction targets. "Bio-based" products are partly made from biomass and can be tracked via carbon-14 (C14). Ccycled® products use chemically recycled plastic waste or scrap tires as raw materials, supporting the circular economy. "Manufactured Using Green Energy" products highlight BASF's commitment to further reducing the environmental impact of the production process through renewable energy.

Weekly #Sustainability & #EnergyTransition Report 184: Optimizing The Value in Waste Plastic – Is It to Make More Plastic? | https://hubs.li/Q02BSc350 🔍 1st Topic of the Week: The drive for #plasticsrecycling is too prescriptive and will likely drive too much expense for products that may also not have the best #carbonfootprints. Recycle mandates, especially in Europe, could drive severe spikes in pricing when supply runs short, which seems likely given limited incentives to invest today. 🔍 2nd Topic of the Week: Mandates run the second risk that they can be repealed if the political will to enforce them is not there, and the recent results in Europe suggest eventual change – perhaps not from #sustainability goals but from the ideology that is driving costs higher than they need to be. 🔍 Otherwise: We look at why #offshore wind may be good for consumers but not industry, and we compare very different sustainability messages from #OMV and #Westlake this week. Products Mentioned: #HDPE, #PE, #PP, #PET, #PS, #PET, #PVC, #Ethanol, #Hydrogen, #Syngas Companies Mentioned: OMV Petrom Westlake Air Products Dow LyondellBasell Borealis Indorama Corporation TotalEnergies Braskem SABIC NOVA Chemicals ExxonMobil LG Chem Shell Mitsubishi Chemical America The Coca-Cola Company Eastman Issaquena Green Power Subjects Covered: #ESG #Recycling, #Renewables, #CarbonCapture, #Emissions, #NewEnergy, #HydrogenEconomy, #ESGInvesting, #ClimateLitigation, #CleanFuels

Did you know that most of the #plastics we use in daily life are produced with fossil fuels? A more sustainable solution exists. Polyethylene furanoate (PEF) plastics use biomass instead of crude oil as a feedstock, leading to a 75% reduction in relative lifecycle emissions. They are also easy to recycle and cost-competitive to traditional plastics. However, PEF currently makes up less than 1% of plastics, but can achieve scale with more efficient production methods. Mattiq is harnessing the power of #electrochemistry to advance commercially viable PEF pathways that will lead to cost and emissions reductions. Do you want to learn more about how we are paving the way for #sustainableplastics? Read our recent blog post here: https://lnkd.in/eXv6J8t8
