Coffee is sensitive to sun, oxygen, and humidity, needing good packaging. Siegwerk and DG Press created a recyclable mono-PE coffee bag with enhanced oxygen barriers, potentially benefiting Vietnam’s coffee packaging industry.
Professors at Pennsylvania State University have developed packaging from cellulose and starch – sustainable materials that decompose naturally, reducing environmental pollution.
Despite progress in policy and practice, there has been a lack of focus on the social implications of circular transitions in developing cities in Asia. Specifically, how the informal sector which often forms the backbone of recycling efforts will be integrated. Influencing behavior at the consumer level towards more sustainable practices is also under-explored. Responding to this gap, this paper presents data from informal waste workers, households, and junkshops in two Bangkok districts which we analyze from material, social, and behavioral perspectives, drawing out implications for inclusive circularity
The MRF aims to collect and recover plastic waste from various sources and thereby increase added value for plastic waste by sorting, cleaning and decontaminating, preliminary processing before selling it to recyclers
Waste2wear revolves around recycling plastic waste into textile products, ensuring a circular environment where consumers can verify the authenticity of sustainable choices.
The world is increasingly aware of the importance of maximizing resource efficiency and transitioning to a circular economy. Applying circular economy principles throughout its value chain, ThaiBev, ASEAN’s largest food and beverage leader, has developed a closed-loop packaging collection system to create new post-consumer recycling opportunities.
Instructions on how to ferment food from cocoa pods and the effects of silage in livestock.
When the Vietnamese market hardly talked about “renewable energy”, there was a group of engineers working together to research and produce solar kits, charging control devices, power converters… used for areas without grid electricity, opening up the first very small independent (offgrid) solar power market. That’s a story from 2008-2009, 14-15 years ago…
In the wood processing process, there is always scrap at almost every stage from exploitation to processing. Reusing scrap will help businesses increase profits.
