Shapeways Reinforces Relationship With Am Solutions And Joins Beta Partner Programme For The C2 Liquid Color Smoothing Technology

AM Solutions – 3D post processing technology is delighted to announce that it has today signed an agreement at Formnext 2023 with leading digital manufacturing and 3D printing expert Shapeways Inc, which will join its Beta Partner Programme for the company’s C2 Liquid Color Smoothing technology. This represents a further strengthening of the relationship with Shapeways which invested in AM Solutions S1 and S2 technologies earlier this year after taking part in the Beta Programme for the S2 post processing solution.

Jules Witte, Plant Manager at Shapeways’ Eindhoven-based facility says, “Our interest in the C2 from AM Solutions is because it provides AM part post processing results that are increasingly demanded by both our B2B and B2C customers.

Westfalia Fruit Trials Exclusive Technology Targeting Food Safety and Sustainability

Westfalia Fruit Trials Exclusive Technology Targeting Food Safety and Sustainability

Westfalia Fruit, a leading multinational supplier of avocados, has conducted the first successful trials of an innovative and natural method of ensuring food safety within the supply chain.

Current industry practice is to manually deep clean avocado ripening rooms to maintain high levels of food safety and eliminate residue from naturally occurring fruit mould. Westfalia’s new method uses a probiotic uniquely distributed within a water mist circulated throughout ripening room which delivers several clear benefits.

Andrew Mitchell, Head of Innovation at Westfalia Fruit explains “Our innovative probiotic liquid is similar to that found in yoghurts which can help with the natural balance of our digestive system. This type of probiotic is also very good at attacking yeasts and moulds. We have developed the application of this natural probiotic further as a liquid, Westfalia Fruit is the only avocado supplier able to do this.”

In an initial study there was a 65% reduction in micro levels in the trial room compared to the control room. The study also found that mould on the individual fruit was significantly reduced. Avocados that had been treated with the probiotic remained mould free for up to fifteen days, which resulted in a reduction of internal rot of around 20%. Using this method also has several other clear benefits – it eliminates the need for chemical cleaning materials, avoids the need to shut down ripening rooms for cleaning and can also be applied to hard to reach areas such as ventilation ducts and fans.

Westfalia is conducting a second trial, applying the probiotic liquid from the roof of the ripening room and expects this to achieve a 90% reduction in micro levels compared to the control room. Fruit quality will be continuously monitored over a four week trial in preparation for initial roll out across Westfalia’s UK facilities.

“From there, we will be managing a role out to our European operations and extend trials across a range of products including citrus and mango. Looking even further ahead with the benefit of Westfalia’s integrated supply chain, the unique misting technique can be applied within shipping containers, giving fruit the benefit of the probiotic application before reaching its final destination, Andrew continues. This project is a clear example of how Westfalia continues to ensure consistent high quality avocados are available for consumers to enjoy 365 days of the year.

We are very excited about this breakthrough, as well as the immediate benefits we anticipate a further reduction in potential waste product whilst successfully and naturally maintaining food safety, all of which directly aligns with our ambitious sustainability goals”.

Asahi Kasei Exhibits At Ispo Munich 2023

Asahi Kasei Exhibits At Ispo Munich 2023 

Asahi Kasei will exhibit its solutions for a more  sustainable material life cycle in the sportswear industry at ISPO Munich 2023, the leading  international sports trade fair, from November 28 to November 30 in Munich, Germany. Dis plays include a novel manufacturing technology for synthetic fibers and textiles from bio mass feedstock, the ECOSENSOR fabric collection by Asahi Kasei Advance, ROICA premium stretch fiber, and RespiGard, a PFAS and solvent-free waterproof membrane. 

A sustainable material life cycle starts with the production of raw materials. For the first time at ISPO,  Asahi Kasei will showcase its novel process technology to produce biobased basic chemicals from  bioethanol. This breakthrough technology makes it possible to manufacture most synthetic fibers and  plastics from biomass feedstock, including those that had been considered difficult to manufacture  from raw materials other than petroleum. This technology enables reduced CO2 emissions and  petroleum usage. 

Grades from the ROICA Eco-Smart family will also be displayed in a designated area of the booth.  ROICA EF is a recycled stretch fiber which features 58% pre-consumer recycled content, and is  certified to OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 in the product class 1 category. ROICA V550 is a  degradable yarn which decomposes into CO2 and water, and has obtained a C2C (cradle-to-cradle)  Certified Material Health Certificate.  

RespiGard is a unique lightweight membrane designed for apparel with the optimal combination of  waterproofness and breathability. The membrane is produced using a solvent-free manufacturing  process with a low carbon footprint. The polypropylene material is recyclable and PFAS-free*. Outdoor  sportswear and coats utilizing RespiGard have won numerous awards, including the 2021  Performance Days Performance Award and the 2019 and 2020 Outdoor Retailer’s Innovation Awards. 

To contribute to closing the material life cycle in the sportswear and apparel industry, Asahi Kasei and  partner company Microwave Chemical are currently developing a new chemical recycling process for  polyamide 66. The process utilizes microwaves to depolymerize polyamide 66 and directly obtain the  monomers, which can then be used to manufacture new polyamide 66 for apparel. Asahi Kasei will  describe this process at a presentation on November 29 from 11:30–12:00 at Munich Trade Fair  Center, Hall B1, Pink Stage. 

Be sure to visit Asahi Kasei’s ISPO exhibit in Hall B1, Future Lab Brand New Area: Booth 104.

ALTANA Successfully Places ESG Promissory Note Loan for 180 Million Euros

ALTANA Successfully Places ESG Promissory Note Loan for 180 Million Euros

The specialty chemicals group ALTANA has secured a promissory note loan totaling 180 million euros. The transaction, which was placed with around 70 German and international investors, was oversubscribed several times. In response to the robust demand during the borrowing process, the initial volume of 100 million euros was increased to 180 million euros. The promissory note loan is divided into tranches with maturities spanning three, five, and seven years.

The tranches encompass both variable and fixed interest rates. Thanks to the substantial interest in this transaction, it was possible to set the interest rate at the lower end of the marketing range, resulting in an average fixed interest rate of 4.40 percent per annum. The placement was conducted through Deutsche Bank and Landbank Baden-Württemberg.We are delighted with the great response,” stated Stefan Genten, Chief Financial Officer of ALTANA AG. “This not only reaffirms our resilient business model, especially in economically challenging times, but also acknowledges our dedication to climate protection, energy efficiency, and occupational safety.”

As a sustainability-linked loan (“ESG-linked loan”), the amount of the interest rate is also contingent upon the attainment of certain sustainability targets of the ALTANA Group and thus on the company’s performance with regard to environmental, social, and corporate control processes (ESG for short).

“The promissory note loan fits excellently into our existing financing structure,” said Claudia Uhlich, Head of Group Treasury at ALTANA AG. “We have further diversified our financing sources and were able to tailor the individual tranches exactly to our specific requirements.”

The recently placed promissory note loan supports ALTANA’s overall corporate financing and serves as the foundation for the company’s further, sustainable growth. In 2021, ALTANA had already established a credit line with a sustainability component in collaboration with a consortium of house banks as well as a loan from the European Investment Bank (EIB) designated for green research projects. By doing so, ALTANA completely renewed the Group’s long-term financing.

Say Cheese! Mondi And Skanemejerier Partner To Introduce Mono-Material Plastic Packaging

Say Cheese! Mondi And Skånemejerier Partner To Introduce Mono-Material Plastic Packaging

  • Mondi and Skånemejerier collaborate to create new mono-material packaging for cheese.
  • The new packaging is designed for recycling and replaces the previous solution not designed for recycling.
  • Packs protect the food while keeping materials in circulation.

Mondi, a global leader in packaging and paper, has collaborated with Skånemejerier to create a mono-material, polypropylene (PP) based packaging for, among others, ICA’s Hushållsost cheese.

The new packaging comprises a mono-material base web and lidding film, all of which is produced and printed by Mondi before being converted for 1kg and 2kg blocks of cheese by Skånemejerier. It will be sold in leading Swedish supermarket ICA and now comes in packaging that is designed for recycling.

Mondi’s mono-material solution provides high barriers against oxygen and water vapours, keeping the product fresh on the supermarket shelf. It offers high puncture resistance protecting the cheese, and great printability so that the brand and recycling messages can be communicated well on-pack.

This innovative packaging is being launched in the same time period as Site Zero, the world’s largest sorting facility for used plastic packaging, will open its doors in Sweden. This state-the-of-art facility, slated to go live in November 2023, will process used plastic waste from both Sweden and Finland. Thanks to the packaging’s mono-material design, the facility will be able to effectively sort this solution for recycling, contributing to a circular economy.

Helene Brynell, Regional Sales Nordic Consumer Flexibles at Mondi says: “30% of the world’s food is lost or wasted – that equates to 1.3 billion tonnes – so fit-for-purpose packaging design has a crucial role to play. Fresh products like cheese need to be packaged properly – and protection must go hand in hand with sustainable packaging. Our new mono-material solution is fulfilling exactly that: it keeps the cheese fresh while also keeping the packaging materials in circulation through design for recycling.”

Ingemar Jönsson, Packaging Manager, Skånemejerier, adds: “Our collaboration with Mondi has been a thorough process: we started our first test and trials in 2019 and are delighted to be bringing this fully recyclable packaging to market before the end of 2023. The great working relationship we had, meant that we were able to adapt materials and machinery efficiently, resulting in a successful, fit for purpose solution. We have strong, effective and good-looking packaging that keeps materials in the loop and responds to consumer demands for more sustainable solutions.”

Rickard Jansson, Development Engineer at Swedish Plastic Recycling states; “We are very positive about the new packaging that Mondi has developed together with Skånemejerier for ICA. By using mono-material film instead of laminate consisting of different types of plastic, we can sort out and recycle the packaging that is left in the system, thus avoiding incineration. With Site Zero’s new technology, this PP film-based packaging will be able to become new products, which has not been possible in any facility in Sweden before. It provides circular plastic flows that reduce the need for fossil raw materials and combustion”.

The mono-material cheese packaging on ICA’s shelves won this year’s PackNorth Award in the ‘Food’ category and was also recognised at the Empack fair in October in Stockholm, Sweden.

Belden Launches New Solutions to Enable Better Connectivity, Faster Speeds and More Power for Mission-Critical Environments

Belden Inc. , a leading global supplier of network infrastructure and digitization solutions, announces new products designed to help mission-critical environments perform at their peak.

Data Orchestration & Management

  • Belden Horizon Console updates include enhancements that allow organizations to take greater control of data collection and transfer. Industrial environments can now use Belden Horizon to send OT data to their cloud service for analysis; they can also support connectivity for multiple remote networks through one Console connection. On-premise deployment is coming soon.
  • Hirschmann Industrial HiVision Version 8.4 includes new Zero-Touch Device Replacement configuration. It also improves usability of the MultiConfig feature, with new dialogs and parameters from the latest HiOS firmware.
  • Hirschmann BXP (BOBCAT eXtreme Performance) Managed Switches, an extension of the BOBCAT family, offer a compact design, enhanced flexibility and interoperability, and speeds of up to 10 Gb/s to meet ever-increasing bandwidth requirements.
  • The new Lumberg Automation LioN-X 16DIO IO-Link Hub LC delivers enough current to support most industrial applications without an M12 L-coded cordset power connection.

Data Acquisition & Transmission

  • Belden Indoor/Outdoor (I/O) Plenum (CMP) Stadium Cables are designed to be used in outdoor, below-grade conduit and aerial applications. They feature a CMP rating for indoor air-handling spaces, as well as suitability for water exposure.
  • Belden OSDP 658HMS Access Control Cables allow OSDP readers and other door components to connect to access control systems. A CMP rating ensures performance in plenum spaces.
  • Belden REVConnect Large Cores enable the REVConnect Connectivity System to support insulated wire diameters of between 1.3 mm and 1.45 mm with a single termination method.
