🌍 The plastics industry is facing a wave of new sustainability regulations. 📅 On 27–28 May 2025, AIMPLAS hosts OKPLAST2025 to tackle legislation trends in plastics. 📍 Paterna, Spain | 🗣️ EN & ES with interpretation 🔗 aimplas.net/conferences/ok…

Great two days at Utrecht University for the ACTPAC meeting! 💬 Team Universität Münster shared updates on fermentative diacid & diol production alongside Biolynx. Thanks to all partners for the great exchange and to UU for the warm welcome! 🙌♻️ #ACTPAC #SustainablePlastics #HorizonEurope

Great news! 🎉 Lou Delugeau has started her 18 months postdoctoral research as part of the ACTPAC project at LCPO, focusing on the direct synthesis of polyesters from aliphatic diol or diacid monomers 🔬. Please join us in welcoming her on this new journey! 👏

Great to see the full program live! Make sure to check it out and see what’s in store at #EPF2025! 🎉

🚀 Throwback to the ACTPAC Consortium Meeting in Utrecht! Beyond the meeting rooms, we explored Utrecht by boat 🚤, building stronger connections. Thanks to all partners and Utrecht University for the great hospitality! #Teamwork #HorizonEurope #Sustainability #Research

🚀 Excited to kick off Biolynx’s role in ACTPAC! With IMMB Schmid Lab at Uni Münster, we're turning alkanes into sustainable bioplastics using engineered microbes. 🌱 From TRL 4 to demo scale—let’s drive biotech innovation! 💪 #biotech #sustainability #bioplastics #innovation

🌍 What do Everest, the Mariana Trench & Antarctica have in common? Sadly, all are polluted by microplastics. 😔 Our partners at B4plastics are fighting back—creating biodegradable materials with lifespans tailored to avoid microplastic pollution. ♻️🌱

🚀 The ACTPAC consortium met in Utrecht for an inspiring two-day event hosted by Utrecht University! From scientific updates to lab tours and a city boat ride, it was a fantastic step forward. 🙌🔬🌍 📖 Full recap: actpac.eu/news/actpac-co…

🔬 Exciting news from Innovaplast! 🧬 We're expanding our R&D with a new Molecular Biology Lab to boost enzyme #engineering and synthetic #biology. As part of ACTPAC , we’re scaling up modified enzymes to create robust, #sustainable #biocatalysts.⚙️

♻️ Ever wondered how plastics are recycled? Our latest ACTPAC article explores the science behind converting alkanes to diacids — a key step toward #recycling #polyethylene. 🧪🔄 📖 Read more about the innovations we're building on: 👉actpac.eu/news/metabolic…

New study: Biobased polyesters mimic PE performance, but with degradability & recyclability! ♻️ A step toward high-performance, circular plastics beyond conventional polyolefins. 🌍📘 Read more: doi.org/10.1021/acs.ma… #Sustainability #CircularEconomy #GreenMaterials

🎥 Curious about how ACTPAC is transforming plastic waste into sustainable materials? Check out our new intro video for a quick look at the project and the team behind it! ♻️🌍 ▶️youtube.com/watch?v=SJZ00l… #sustainable #Innovation #Recyling

✨ Looking back at #OKPLAST2025! Our partner AIMPLAS hosted this key plastics & legislation forum on 27–28 May. Topics included greenwashing, ecodesign, REACH & more. ACTPAC was there with a poster presentation! #CircularEconomy #Plastics #Sustainability #Legislation ♻️

Great to see George Karchilakis presenting his ACTPAC project work at #EPF2025 — the European Polymer Congress with 1250+ delegates from over 70 countries! 🌍👏 #PolymerScience #ACTPAC

♻️ Polyethylene is tough to recycle — but ACTPAC is tackling it head-on! 🔬 With enzymes, microbes & biodegradable polyesters, we're paving the way for circular plastics. 🔗 Learn more: linkedin.com/feed/update/ur…

Look around. Don’t we want the next generation to grow up in a green, thriving world? 🌍 At ACTPAC , we don’t claim to fix it all — but we are tackling one major plastic waste stream with real solutions. ♻️ 🎥 Want to know more? 🔗youtube.com/watch?v=SJZ00l…

Polyethylene (PE) is tough to biodegrade, posing major environmental risks. A new review outlines key challenges—like complex #chemistry, slow degradation & inconsistent methods—and suggests future steps to improve PE biodegradation. Read more here 👉 lnkd.in/dTKMV3gg

🎥 The ACTPAC Project introduction video is now also online on the website! Get a first look at who we are, what the project is about, and how our consortium is working together to tackle plastic waste. 👉 Watch the video now on our website: actpac.eu/about-us/

🎓 Excited to host FrederikBenfelt from Aarhus University at the University of Münster! He’s expanding his metabolic #engineering #expertise and bringing fresh insights to ACTPAC. 🤝🧬 Looking forward to a #productive visit! 🚀

ACTPAC was honored to be represented at EP’2025 in Harbin, China, where Katja Loos (Katja Loos) (Zernike Institute, University of Groningen) delivered a keynote lecture on "Unleashing the Potential of Enzymes for Green Furan-Based Polymer Synthesis."🥽🧪 We thank the organizers!🌟
