𝗙𝗮𝗰𝘁: Over half of single-use plastic products can be made recyclable with a simple modification.

We asked our expert Harold Gankema about this thought.

💬“Making changes to a label and/or the paper wrapper can lead to a clear improvement in recyclability. The change may consist, for example, of applying labels made of the same material as the packaging itself.

This is called the mono-material approach. In this case, the label does not have to be removed during recycling because these labels result in much less pollution in the waste stream. This means that the packaging is therefore more recyclable.

It is worth mentioning that a water-washable adhesive is important in this context. This leads to less pollution, better quality of the recyclate, and better recyclability”.

It's aim is to accelerate the system transition to a circular economy in the region. A great collaboration between partners in industry, business, knowledge, educational institutions and governments.

Brightlands Materials Centre takes charge of a workpackage. We will redesign the materials of multilayer food packaging to become recyclable and make it possible to use the recycled material again in a high-quality manner. For this purpose we apply our knowledge of sealing, material barriers and -properties.

SunPrism is a innovative solution for a sustainable future. It's a structural color coating that enables the construction of colored glass facades that harvest solar energy. Meaning more electricity can be harvested and aesthetics drastically improve for the better.

In Nottingham Margot Seegers, scientist at Brightlands Materials Center presented our research at The International Conference on Additive Manufacturing & 3D Printing. Her topic ‘Multimaterial Additive Manufacturing with Photopolymers’.
In spite of all the well-known benefits additive manufacturing (AM) has to offer over traditional subtractive manufacturing, is still not used to its full potential. This, to a greater or lesser extent, applies to all additive manufacturing methods, but certainly also to vat photopolymerization. Which, with a few important exceptions, predominantly in the dental and medical world, is still mainly applied in prototyping and for gadgets. For AM, and vat photopolymerization in particular, we defined two major opportunities.

Samen met studenten van Zuyd Hogeschool ontwikkelen we bij Brightlands Materials Center ‘slim glas’. Dit is een glas voor ramen dat in de zomer de hitte van buiten tegenhoudt en waardoor in de winter de warmte binnen blijft. Het glas is voorzien van nanodeeltjes en moet zorgen voor een energiebesparing in huizen van zo'n 25 procent. Lees meer:
