Chemical and Physical Recycling as Key for the Green Deal
Bar ohne Namen
Entschlossen verweigert sich Savage, der Bar einen Namen zu geben. Stattdessen sind drei klassische Design-Symbole das Logo der Trinkstätte in Dalston: ein gelbes Quadrat, ein rotes Viereck, ein blauer Kreis. Am meisten wurmt den sympathischen Franzosen dabei, dass es kein Gelbes-Dreieck-Emoji gibt. Das erschwert auf komische Weise die Kommunikation. Der Instagram Account lautet: a_bar_with_shapes-for_a_name und anderenorts tauchen die Begriffe ‘Savage Bar’ oder eben ‚Bauhaus Bar‘ auf.
Für den BCB bringt Savage nun sein Barkonzept mit und mixt für uns mit Unterstützung von Russian Standard Vodka an der perfekten Bar dazu.
The Renewable Carbon Initiative (RCI) has published a position paper highlighting the significance of chemical and physical recycling in achieving the goals of the Green Deal and promoting a circular economy. Chemical and physical recycling are proving to be key technologies and thus essential components for comprehensive carbon management.
Carbon management goes beyond reducing CO2 emissions and their capture and long-term storage. It decouples the entire industry from fossil resources, eliminates the use of fossil carbon wherever possible, and uses renewable carbon from biomass, CO2, and recycling as efficiently and effectively as possible where the use of carbon is unavoidable. These technologies are fundamental to the circular economy, sustainable carbon cycles, the defossilization of the chemical industry, and carbon management. They have potentially high volume applications but require significant investments to fully exploit. To achieve this, a secure demand must be created, particularly through political frameworks.
Renewable Carbon Initiative
The Renewable Carbon Initiative (RCI) is a global network of over 60 leading companies dedicated to promoting and accelerating the transition from fossil carbon to renewable carbon. The goal is to replace fossil carbon with renewable carbon sources such as biomass, CO2, and recycling. The RCI envisions chemicals and materials achieving net-zero emissions and being fully integrated into the circular economy. Only through the use of renewable carbon sources can a sustainable future be ensured and environmental impacts minimized. This is a crucial step toward creating a sustainable and low-carbon industry and achieving the goals of the Green Deal.
In its new paper, the RCI calls for the general acceptance, recognition, and clarified rules for chemical and physical recycling technologies in the calculation of recycling rates for all sectors, based on established tracking and certification systems.
