Engineering company BGB has launched a Circularity Collection Service that places on-site crates at customer sites to recover decommissioned slip rings and carbon brush technologies for repair, remanufacturing, or recycling, marking four years since the company established its dedicated repairs division.

Greenhouse gas neutrality cannot be achieved in the long term by simply reducing emissions. Natural or technical CO₂ sinks offset remaining residual emissions.

A research project will investigate bio-based processes to recover rare earth elements and silica from industrial waste streams.

A new biomethane plant in Colmenar Viejo will process up to 75,000 tonnes of organic waste and feed renewable gas into the grid.

PolyCert Europe has introduced an audit-based scheme for recycled plastics intended for food-contact applications in the European Union.

The sustainability transformation has long been structurally anchored in many companies. But progress is coming under increasing pressure.

A research project is examining how repeated recycling affects the safety-relevant properties of HDPE used in hazardous materials containers.

The environmental debate has shifted fundamentally in recent years.

It would not be the first time: Due to a lack of processes, structures and regulations, the growing expansion of PV systems could lead to disused systems not being kept in the cycle, but being recycled or landfilled at an inferior rate.
