You know that at Cabka, it is all about recycling. Over 80% of our raw material intake is from plastic waste streams, which we transform into reusable and recyclable products. We know that strong collaboration along the value chain is crucial to make circularity happen. So we are happy to join Plastics Recyclers Europe! Plastics Recyclers Europe (PRE) represents the voice of the European plastics recyclers who reprocess plastic waste into high-quality material destined for producing new articles. #CircularEconomy #CircularPlastics #sustainability #recycledplastic #recycling

Jeff Dereume, a consultant in CRU's Pittsburgh office, was in attendance for a recent lithium battery recycling workshop, hosted by NAATBatt International, the trade association for advanced battery technology in North America. The event was held at The Heritage Group in Indianapolis, IN. The workshop was a two-day event with day one focusing on important topics such as safety in handling black mass, measuring the value of black mass, and solutions for recycling LFP. While day 2 was dedicated to meeting the recyclers such as Blue Whale Materials LLC, Austin Elements Inc., and Cirba Solutions. Some of the key takeaways include 1) no two black masses are created equal, 2) safety must remain a leading priority, and 3) participants and associations should help develop standards and policies.

PPWR & Green Deal: Did you know that from 2025, all deposit containers in deposit machines in Austria will (have to) be flattened in the one-way deposit system? With my collection machines, it will also be possible to plate deposit containers at all small take-back points as soon as clear and forgery-proof registration is possible using a serialised 2D barcode on the deposit containers. The savings potential, especially when transporting the flattened deposit containers to the sorting facilities, can be up to 70 %. The flattening of lightweight packaging will be state of the art from 2023 - see EP patent and US patent - https://lnkd.in/grjHnwgH https://lnkd.in/dvF5H2ae and soon my collection machines will also be produced in Slovakia!

Cyclyx has brought its #10to90 landfill-diversion program to two Union Pacific Railroad Houston-area campuses! 🚂 "We are eager to collaborate and provide a customized solution for Union Pacific in its effort to achieve superior sustainable practices related to plastic wastes at their facilities." — Bill Cooper, Senior Vice President of Corporate Strategy & Development of Cyclyx. ️ We are thrilled to partner with a Cyclyx Consortium member for this pilot program, which is designed to serve as a roadmap for future programs at Union Pacific. Initially, the focus is on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles, but the intent is to expand to an all-plastic collection program over time. This program's introduction is what we like to call laying the track for a circularity commitment and creating an infrastructure where it didn't previously exist! 🛤️ Learn more about the benefits of this program: https://bit.ly/44e24dF

Another great example of actual ADVANCED RECYCLING showing that this expression is one to be accounted for both streams, Chemical AND Mechanical recycling while they continue seeing strong progress from developments further advancing recycling technologies... #advancedrecycling #mechanicalrecycling #chemicalrecycling #circulareconomy #plasticsrecycling #Kunststoff #PlasticsIndustry #Plastics
