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.
Following the local elections in Copenhagen in the autumn of 2021, more than 31.000 election posters were recycled into new designer lamps, pen holders, and vases.
A significant milestone is achieved with the successful validation, after semi-industrial testing mimicking real-life conditions, of the prototype detection unit for digital watermarks.
The City of Copenhagen has the ambition of increasing direct reuse of resources in 2024 by 3 times the level in 2016. Are you interested in helping achieving this goal?
As part of the LOOP Forum, the City of Copenhagen will host a seminar on circular textiles. Here, you will learn more about the results from the city’s ambitious value chain partnership “ReYarn” and listen to the debate on circular textiles of tomorrow.
The first results from the "Paint It Forward" partnership, which aims at ensuring the reuse of water-based paint residues in Copenhagen, are in. And they look promising.
If treated in the right way, post-consumer foam extracted from mattresses is suitable for mechanical recycling to bonded foam, study finds. The results indicate that foam-recycling from Danish mattresses can indeed become reality
The City of Copenhagen has partnered up with three companies to test sorting food waste from residual waste for the purpose of biogas production: Using a size sorting method it is possible to separate food waste from the residual waste, study clarifies.
AIM, the European Brands Association, and the Alliance to End Plastic Waste announced today a partnership to drive the next stage of progress for intelligent waste sorting within the Digital Watermarks Initiative HolyGrail 2.0.
