-Recycling technologies that add value to waste
India generates close to 410mt of plastic waste every year. At the IFCA conference, Kelvin Davies, Australian project manager at Nextek Technologies discussed the recycling problem in-depth. He presented strategies for ensuring that a recycled product has an upscale value, which is vital to achieve a circular economy Petrochemical PET Bottles PEF
When you crunch the numbers you realise India is producing far more packaging than we are recycling. This is not an issue with India. It is a global issue and each geography has its own unique challenges.
-Brazil Braskem mulls new renewable ethylene, PE capacity
Braskem is considering expanding its production of renewable ethylene and polyethylene (PE), with a a final investment decision (FID) possible in the first half of 2020, an executive said on Friday.Petrochemical PET Bottles PEF
The expansion would most likely be in Brazil, and Braskem is considering it because of rising demand for renewable PE, mainly from Europe and Asia, particularly Japan, said Edison Terra, vice president of Braskem’s business unit for polyolefins, renewables and Europe.
-From Ecomondo a message for the sustainability that will come
1300 companies occupied all the space available at the Rimini Fair (129 thousand square meters) and animated what is now recognized as an indispensable reference for all those who in some way deal with the circular economy: Ecomondo, organized by the Italian Exhibition Group.Petrochemical PET Bottles PEF
“This is the most important fair in the world for the green economy – it was the definition of Environment Minister Sergio Costa – and in our country there are technological excellence and useful knowledge to change behavior and processes”.
It was not easy for the 520 Italian and foreign accredited journalists to follow the many (too many) events organized in the four days of Rimini.

-Iran discovers new oil field with 50 billion barrels of crude
Iran’s president has described a massive find in the oil-rich Khuzestan province. But sanctions against Iranian oil could make it difficult for the oil to find its way to international markets.
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani on Sunday said a new oil field was discovered in the Khuzestan province.Petrochemical PET Bottles PEF
He said the new field has more than 50 billion barrels of crude oil, which would boost the country’s proven reserves by a third.
“I am telling the White House that in the days when you sanctioned the sale of Iranian oil, the country’s workers and engineers were able to discover 53 billion barrels of oil,” Rouhani said. “This is a small gift by the government to the people of Iran.”
-Oil market to be oversupplied in next 4 yrs
MORE bad news is emerging for the oil organization, as more oil has been pouring from different unconventional sources far away from the troubled waters.
This time it is not the USA shale oil but oil from Brazil, Canada, Guyana and Norway. All the four countries are expected to bring more than five million barrels of oil in the next four years.Petrochemical PET Bottles PEF
OPEC will end up losing its global share of 35 million barrels to less than 29 million barrels or may be less. This is after the absence of Iran and Venezuela, which have been forced to cut down their production. Iraq at the same time has been pushing for 4.9 million barrels, and is currently close to 4.7 million barrels per day.
At K 2019, Starlinger presents a closed loop system for big bags made from woven polypropylene. The sustainable concept “circular packaging” will be Starlinger’s main theme at the K show 2019 as well as at the Starlinger Open House in Weissenbach/Austria.Petrochemical PET Bottles PEF
Worldwide, more than 380 million 4-loop big bags (called FIBCs in specialist vocabulary – Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers) are sold every year; this equals an annual recycling potential of approx. 800,000 tons of material. To turn big bags into big bags once more, the Austrian Starlinger & Co. GmbH has now developed the concept “circular packaging” for big bags made from polypropylene fabric; the well-known FIBC expert Dr. Amir Samadijavan acted as consultant for this project.

-Europe PE spot prices down as US traders step in with lower numbers
-Europe polyethylene (PE) spot prices are under downward pressure again, and new competition from US traders is exacerbating the situation, according to local sellers.
Three new US-based traders are said to be offering large volumes of low-priced product to many players across Europe.
“It looks like they’ve bought a directory and are approaching all the buyers,” said one source. Petrochemical PET Bottles PEF
It is this scattershot approach that is sending shock-waves through the market, as it is very hard to define how much material is actually being offered.
-Enzymes to reduce emissions from the textile industry
The dyeing of textiles has a major negative impact on the environment. Now, a new method for degrading the dyes and purifying the waste water has been developed at the University of Borås, Borås/Sweden.
In the dyeing process, the excess dyes and chemicals are flushed out with the waste water. In her research project, doctoral student Petrochemical PET Bottles PEF
May Kahoush has investigated 3 different methods, all of which facilitate a solution that benefits both the environment and the textile industry by reducing the consumption of water and energy, as well as the emission of hazardous chemicals. In an attempt to solve this problem, enzymes are used to initiate a degradation process of dyes and other chemicals.
