-Ioncell’s fiber innovation could help drive the circular economy transition
The textile, garment and fashion industries generate tonnes of pollution each year and recycle very little, which has harmful effects on the environment and on humans.
EIT Climate-KIC supported Ioncell directly addresses these global systemic issues by offering an innovation that regenerates fibers, while enabling them to be recyclable and biodegradable.
Might it be the key to transitioning these unsustainable industries to a circular economy?

-South Asia can turn the tide on oceans plastics pollution
Imagine you’re standing on the pristine beach of a remote atoll in the Maldives. Turquoise water, white sand, gleaming sun– this is as close to an unspoiled Eden as it gets.
But something does not belong here as you notice a small plastic bottle drifting past you.
Instantly, this vision of paradise is lost.Petrochemical PET Resin ACN
Sadly, this bottle is but a tiny fragment of the million tons of plastic waste that threaten Maldives’ fragile environment. In the capital city of Male alone, 280,000 plastic bottles get discarded every day.

-Coca-Cola switches to recycled plastic for PET bottles in Sweden
Drinks group Coca-Cola (KO.N) said on Tuesday it would start using PET bottles in Sweden made only of recycled plastic in a first step towards expanding its use of recycled plastic in western Europe.
Coca-Cola said the switch at its Jordbro factory south of Stockholm would enable the company to use around 3,500 tonnes less of virgin plastic annually.
The company also said increasing the share of recycled material in packaging was an efficient way to reduce its C02 footprint.Petrochemical PET Resin ACN
-“Accurately predicting consumer responses to sustainable packaging”
Consumer beliefs about sustainable packaging differ significantly from the reality. Marketing and Consumer scientist, Dr Nigel Steenis, therefore suggests manufacturers think extremely carefully about consumer perception of new sustainable packaging before launching it onto the market. The scientist successfully defended his PhD thesis, at Wageningen University & Research, November 5th 2019.Petrochemical PET Resin ACN
Following his Master in Management, Economics and Consumer studies, achieved five years ago, Steenis saw a PhD as “the perfect pathway to continuing his development in this field.” Shortly after graduating, he became aware of an interesting vacancy at TiFN and applied immediately.
“As a marketing researcher, TiFN’s unique combination of scientific excellence and industrial relevance really appealed to me.”
-US firm to build ethylene-to-alkylate plant in Texas
Next Wave Energy Partners made a final investment decision (FID) to build an ethylene-to-alkylate plant in Pasadena, Texas, off of the Houston Ship Channel, the US-based company said on Wednesday.
Next Wave did not reveal the cost of the project.
The plant, called Project Traveler, will have a capacity to produce 28,000 bbl/day of alkylate, Next Wave said.
It can consume more than 1.2bn lb/year (544,000 tonnes/year) of ethylene, the company said. Next Wave will receive the feedstock from multiple pipelines. It can also receive feedstock and deliver product by rail.
