Congratulations to our innovator Samsara Eco for raising AUD$100/USD$65 million in Series A+ funding to help end plastic waste! 🍾👏 The funding will scale the innovator's enzymatic recycling capabilities, establishing new facilities to recycle millions of tonnes of plastic waste, including textiles and packaging, into tens of thousands of tonnes of monomers for brand-new products, creating a truly circular loop. “The ability to infinitely recycle plastic in an environmentally friendly way is a game changer for brands and our planet. Our enzymatic recycling technology makes it easy for brands in almost every industry to meet their sustainability and decarbonisation goals by creating a circular loop for plastics.” — Paul Riley, CEO and Founder of Samsara Eco Read more about the funding here: https://lnkd.in/gVQ_Twf8 #funding #innovation #SustainableTech #CircularDesign #sustainability #sustainablefashion #circularfashion

It's plastic free July and Innovate UK has been supporting a plastic recycling innovator to grow ♻️ Based in London, LUMA-iD innovation & development is a product design and manufacturing consultancy that focuses on planet-friendly designs. In 2023, LUMA-iD began working with Ian Pateman, an Innovation and Growth Specialist at Innovate UK Business Growth during the development of its product aimed at revolutionising household recycling: the Flexyb.in. The Flexyb.in is a simple, low-cost solution for collecting flexible plastics in the home. It is designed to compact waste to hold two weeks' worth of average household plastic waste and is specifically designed for the new UK recycling pilot scheme. Ian provided bespoke support, helping to develop the value proposition and achieve further growth for the business. He advised the team on how to connect and negotiate with a UK-based supplier, which enabled it to refine several iterations of the product. The team won a grant from the ISCF Smart Sustainable Plastic Packaging competiton, focusing on flexible plastic packaging waste at home worth £32,000, for its project which will accelerate the commercialisation of the project. Ian also offered intellectual property advice to protect its assets, and helped develop its recruitment strategy. As a result of working with Innovate UK Business Growth, LUMA-iD achieved patent-pending status for its innovation, and is now undergoing trials with Reading Council. Mark Little, Co-founder and Director of LUMA-iD, praised the support received: “The mentoring support we received from our Innovation and Growth Specialist during the project was incredible: to be able to shoot ideas and receive the support and feedback was just incredible. We really enjoyed working on the Innovate UK competition, the structure, platform and clear direction on what was required are all aspects we like to work within.” Find out more about how Innovate UK can support your business with tailored growth support here 👉: www.iukbg.ukri.org #PlasticFreeJuly #BusinessGrowth #Recycling

Abandoning the Voluntary Approach for Plastic Waste How to Attain Plastic Waste Targets: #1: Implementing Mandatory Regulations #2: Formulating Comprehensive Policies to Facilitate the Transition Away from Single-Use Plastics and Towards Reuse and Refill Systems #3: Providing Incentives to Encourage Companies to Develop Reusable and Refillable Systems.
More than 1,000 companies signed a commitment to ensure 100% of their plastic packaging is reusable, recyclable or compostable by 2025. They're making more progress than their peers but not enough to meet this target.

The Plastic Problem: Rethinking Recycling Goals - https://lnkd.in/gtcKdGF5 The current state of plastic recycling is a challenge we all share. As a waste management company, we understand the complexities firsthand. This article highlights the recent shift by major corporations like Nestle and Unilever to move from "recyclable" to "designed for recycling" packaging. This reflects the limitations of existing infrastructure and the need for innovation. At SMS Hydrotech , we're committed to collaborating with industry leaders to develop a more sustainable future for plastics. This includes: ✔️Investing in sorting and processing technologies to handle a wider range of recyclables. ✔️Partnering with municipalities to improve recycling programs and educate consumers. ✔️Advocating for design improvements that make plastics truly recyclable. Together, we can turn the tide on plastic waste. Let's keep the conversation going! Share your thoughts on how we can improve plastic recycling in the comments. #plastics #recycling #sustainability #circulareconomy #wmx #wastecon
