Today, on Global Recycling Day, it's time to rethink how we view waste. For too long, we’ve seen recycling as just a way to manage what we throw away—but there’s so much more at stake. It's about closing the loop on materials and ensuring they stay in use for as long as possible.

An appetizing innovation or a hard pill to swallow? Let's dive into what the global community has to say about turning our …

On October 24th, 2024, the Bio-LUSH project hosted a milestone event: the Co-Creating a Sustainable Future - Stakeholder Insights and Innovation in Biomass Utilization Confirmation workshop. This workshop aimed to engage diverse stakeholders in identifying barriers and opportunities within the bio-based sector. It provided an opportunity to align Bio-LUSH’s activities with the real-world needs of farmers, industry leaders, researchers, and policymakers, all while driving progress toward a more sustainable bioeconomy.

The Bio-LUSH project proudly participated in the first CBE JU Stakeholder Forum (CBESF23), held in Brussels on December 6–7, 2023. This landmark event delivered on its promise of sparking discussions about the future of Europe’s bio-based sector, showcasing groundbreaking innovations, and solutions to build a more sustainable future.

As global fiber demand continues to rise, the environmental toll of fossil-based fibers is becoming increasingly urgent. In just one year, fiber production surged from 116 million tons in 2022 to 124 million tons in 2023, with projections estimating the global market will reach 160 million tons by 2030.

The “Transition Pathway for the Chemical Industry” is a strategic roadmap crafted to guide the sector towards sustainability and climate neutrality. This comprehensive document provides a detailed framework for achieving these goals, outlining specific actions, milestones, and support mechanisms essential for a successful transition. In our blog, we offer an overview of all the important points from this roadmap, highlighting the key strategies and steps that need to be considered to align the operations with environmental standards and drive progress towards a greener future.

In a bold move towards a more sustainable future, the European Union has introduced the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), which came into force on 18 July 2024. This regulation is central to the EU's strategy for creating environmentally sustainable and circular products. It sets rigorous new standards for energy efficiency, material use, and recyclability, with an innovative addition of the Digital Product Passport. Prioritizing categories such as textiles, furniture, tyres, and electronics, the ESPR aims to enhance repairability and extend product lifecycles by focusing on design—where up to 80% of a product's environmental impact is determined. Discover how these new measures will shape the future of sustainable product design and what it means for consumers and industries alike.
