On the 19th of April 2024, the City of Copenhagen hosted a network meeting, at which we presented our two new projects regarding reusable takeaway packaging. The present participants shared their constructive criticism with the Municipality.
It is estimated that 40,000 bicycles are currently collected from private households, the majority of which are recycled as scrap metal - but we are committed to change that.
The report highlights the promising potential of implementing a circular diaper value chain in Copenhagen, emphasizing the environmental and economic benefits it could offer.
A new Danish-developed technology aims to create a circular solution for a widely used type of plastic, polyurethane (PUR), which is currently very difficult to recycle.
In collaboration with environmental company Ragn-Sells, we are proud to introduce an initiative helping Copenhageners to hand in their electronic devices for reuse.
A new research project will develop a new technology to convert organic waste into protein-rich feed. The Innovation Fund Denmark has invested 10.7 million DKK in the project.
The partnership will explore innovative and creative opportunities to find an environmentally sound alternative to incineration of the damp and wet textiles – for example by using dehumidification technology.
Since October 2021, City of Copenhagen, Amager Resource Center (ARC), and Paint it Forward have collected almost 2 tons of water-based paint residues for reuse at Vermlandsgade recycling station.
Can certain types of workwear live up to relevant quality requirements if they are made from recycled textiles? And if so, how might green public procurement drive the transition towards more sustainable workwear?
Every year, Danes discard around 500.000 used mattresses. This is 10-12,500 tonnes of waste, which ends up in waste incinerators across the country. Circular economy for mattresses is thus far from a reality. But something can be done about it.
300 tonnes of PET plastic take-away end up in the public space waste bins every year in Copenhagen. How can we move away from single-use takeaway towards closed loop reuse systems with less strain on the environment?
Participation at the LOOP Forum gave an excellent opportunity for the conference visitors and participating organizations to meet the ReYarn partners and discuss the work of developing circular value.
