🌍 We're thrilled to share that we're partnering with Circular Economy Month by Circular Innovation Council! 🎉 This initiative promotes sustainability and encourages innovative solutions to enable a circular economy—something we're so passionate about! As part of this exciting month, we're hosting a webinar during Waste Reduction Week on October 22 at 10 AM EST: Circular Economy In Action: Key Waste Reduction Statistics and Trends. Join us as we dive into the fundamentals of the circular economy, explore the latest trends, and unpack important statistics and facts across various materials, from plastics to batteries and electronics. Whether you're a business leader, policymaker, or simply curious about how you can make a difference, this session is for you! https://lnkd.in/g3Fqvdup Don't miss out – register today! 💚 #CircularEconomyMonth #CircularInnovationCouncil #Sustainability #CircularEconomy #WEEE #Batteries #Plastics

How much virgin material do you use per year❓ In Munich, this number sits at 3️⃣ 2️⃣ tonnes per a person and in Germany, overall, 2️⃣ 1️⃣ tonnes, similar to the high-income country average. But not to fear, Patrick Hypscher, Co-Founder of Green PO & Podcast-Host of Circularity.fm, is here to fight waste and explore the many ways we can reduce our virgin material consumption. From designing for longevity to marketplaces and rental models, we can unite in the fight against waste. In episode two, Patrick takes on ignorance: https://lnkd.in/dYREyuhJ #zerowaste #circulareconomy #fightwaste

😵 Last year I monitored my carbon emissions. This year it's my personal resource consumption. But that's f***ing hard!!! ⛏ In the circularity community, we talk a lot about materials. And, sure, we have to use them much more wisely. 🤔 The tricky thing is: We barely have a clue what's going on material-wise. Companies start to track it better. Countries come up with national strategies. But what does that mean on a per capita level? In my April issue of the #bGreenLeaders article by CIRCULAZE by CURAZE & Messe Muenchen I reflect on that difficulty. The Munich Circular Gap Report by Circle Economy was a helpful basis. Spoiler: We consume too much. But there are solutions. And I'll give some examples.

Let's talk about the power of a circular economy. In episode 21, "Circularity 101", we discuss the basics of the circular economy, whether or not it is actually achievable, if it is possible for a product to be 100% closed loop, and what changes need to be made in order to achieve the circular economy on a large scale.

🌍✨ At Data Company One, we're passionate about driving positive change in aluminum can recycling. Did you know that if we increase the recycling rate from 50% to 70%, we could reduce CO2 emissions by a staggering 6 million tons annually? Aluminum cans are incredibly valuable resources; recycling them consumes only 5% of the energy required to produce new cans from bauxite ore. This presents a significant opportunity not only for environmental impact but also for sustainable business practices. We're on a mission to make recycling engaging and data-driven. Our innovative solutions empower communities to participate in recycling efforts and track their contributions through gamification and advanced analytics. Together, we can create a circular economy that benefits our planet and future generations. Join us in this crucial journey towards sustainability and let’s make recycling a game changer! ♻️💪 #Sustainability #Recycling #CircularEconomy #DataDriven #ClimateAction #DataCompanyOne

🌿 Meet charly: black. but green. 🌿 Excited to unveil charly, our new venture into the future of sustainable materials! Our slogan "black. but green." reflects our goal: to explore innovative biochar materials for durable, long-life products and packaging. charly is where carbon-negative meets cost-effective, circular meets net zero, and “waste” becomes the basis for durable, truly sustainable products. Follow charly’s path 👣: soon we will share how we’re helping business leaders to cut down their carbon footprint with products that can store CO2 while being based only on waste resources. #charly #BlackButGreen #sustainability #biochar #netzero #carbonnegative #circulareconomy #materials #greeninnovation

🔊 New episode available! In the latest episode of Redemption, we revisit the EU’s Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) and dive into how reuse can become a critical tool in the global movement towards a circular economy. While the PPWR is a critical step forward, Elizabeth Balkan discusses with Nathan Dufour and Clarissa Morawski why and how reuse systems should have a larger spotlight in shaping the future of sustainability in Europe and beyond. 🌍 🎧 Listen in as we discuss the challenges, victories, and untapped potential of reuse to reduce waste and reshape systems at the EU-level, and on a global scale. https://bit.ly/4eOmApA

We need innovative solutions to protect our planet while remaining economically viable. This is where the concept of the #CircularEconomy comes into play. ♻️ For us, a circular process runs from the design phase via the use phase to the recycling of a tire – and then back to start. By 2050 at the latest we want to close our product and resources cycles completely. But how do we want to get there? We talked to Martina Steppat, Program Manager Circular Economy at Continental’s Group Sector Tires, about our journey. About circular economy and the importance of considering circularity already in the design phase of a tire. 📢 Curious? Read the full interview here: https://ow.ly/yFyA50SjKwf Together, we can make the world more #sustainable and equitable future. 🌱🌐 #Continental #SustainableFuture #ResourceCycles #SustainabilityMatters #EnvironmentalProtection

I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve earned the Circular Economy Specialist (High-Mastery) certification from the Circular Economy Alliance! In today’s world, moving beyond the outdated linear model of “produce, use, discard” is essential. Traditional recycling methods only address part of the challenge, but the circular model truly transforms our approach. I’m excited to apply this knowledge to shift towards sustainable, regenerative practices. #CircularEconomy #Sustainability #ProfessionalGrowth

🌿🔬 Sustainability Meets Science 🔬🌿 In the scientific world, progress and discovery often come hand-in-hand with resource consumption. But what if we could shift the balance—minimizing our environmental footprint without compromising innovation? 🌍 At GreenLabs Recycling, we're on a mission to make sustainability a standard practice in labs everywhere. By properly recycling lab plastics and reducing waste, we're helping the scientific community turn its focus toward a cleaner, greener future. Imagine the impact: 🌱 Diverting tons of plastic waste from landfills. Reusing materials to reduce costs and conserve resources. Cultivating a culture of environmental responsibility in labs. When scientists prioritize sustainable practices, the benefits ripple outwards—to the planet, to future generations, and to the research itself. Together, we can continue advancing knowledge while protecting the world we share. 🌎✨ Let’s make the change—one lab at a time. ♻️💡 #GreenLabs #SustainabilityInScience #LabRecycling #EcoFriendlyLabs #ResearchResponsibly
