The global waste crisis continues escalating, demanding innovative solutions offering sustainable management practices. OscarPocket emerges as a cutting-edge application designed to empower individuals with the tools to sort waste accurately, thus enhancing recycling efforts and reducing environmental impact.

In the face of growing environmental concerns, the plastics industry faces a unique challenge: How to communicate effectively about plastic use and recycling? The “How to Talk About Plastics” guide from the University of Sheffield offers valuable insights into using language effectively to reduce plastic pollution and encourage pro-environmental behavior.

Advanced flake sorting technologies are revolutionizing the recycling industry by enhancing the quality and efficiency of plastic recycling processes.

In the battle against plastic pollution and rising logistics costs, a simple yet effective strategy is emerging: reducing headspace in packaging. This approach, endorsed by The Consumer Goods Forum’s Golden Design Rules, can lead to significant environmental and economic benefits.

Recycling appears as a main node in optimizing waste management. Within this realm, Post-Industrial Recycling commands attention for its critical impact on product lifecycles.

To combat plastic waste, France has introduced a ban on plastic stickers on fruits and vegetables. The move signals a significant shift towards more sustainable packaging solutions. Moreover, this pioneering legislation, aims to reduce the ecological footprint of the food industry and promote eco-friendly alternatives.
