Our vision: to create a more efficient and sustainable industry 4.0

Industry still generates 20% of the world’s CO2 emissions, largely due to factories’ energy usage. For industry, it is no longer a simple option to generate energy savings but a requirement. However, it remains a significant challenge, as it is getting harder to undertake successful energy efficiency projects that promise an acceptable ROI.

Data is already being widely collected within factories, but there is still a lot of underused potential. This is why we created Energiency: we wanted to roll out artificial intelligence in a highly operational, accessible way, to help Operators and Energy Managers save energy and reduce their CO2 emissions on a daily basis.

Montello S.p.A. is located in an industrial area of approximately 450,000 square meters, of which 120,000 are covered.
Up until the end of 1995 it was a steel industry for the production of reinforcing steel bars.

In 1996, after repeated crises in the national steel industry, the decision was to close the steel industry company (Brown Economy), converting the plant into recovery and recycling of packaging waste in post-consumer plastic and organic waste from separate waste collection (Green Economy) which, at that time, began to become popular in Lombardy.

And that is how the concept of waste/resource towards a Circular Economy begins.
With this production reconversion, today the company Montello S.p.A. employs 650 people (compared to the 320 who were employed at the time of the closure of the steel industry company).

At the moment, the factory in Montello (BG) recycles 200,000 tons a year of post-consumer plastic packaging from which new products are obtained, and 600,000 tons a year of OFMSW Organic Fraction deriving from the separate collection from which biogas is obtained, used to produce both electric and thermal energy and biomethane, at the same time recovering CO₂ carbon dioxide for industrial technical use and producing a high quality organic fertilizer.

NFW® develops new manufacturing routes and material chemistry to unlock new levels of performance for natural materials. We believe that with the right science, anything synthetics can do, plants can do better.

Petroleum products (like plastics and synthetics) have scaled to support a high standard of living for only ~20% of the world’s population. Less than 10% of plastic has ever been recycled. Continuing to scale this linear fossil fuel economy is unsustainable and expensive.

By contrast, regenerative agriculture can produce differentiated raw materials for ~7.5 billion people while sequestering legacy carbon.

Clean energy is not the only factor in transitioning away from fossil fuels. Some of the most intractable challenges in improving sustainability and raising global standards of living come down to materials—materials that we wear, sit and stand on, and live in.

Plantics develops superior natural materials based on a revolutionary invention of the University of Amsterdam. This invention led to a unique new family of 100% biobased thermoset resins and the world’s first 100% biobased thermoset materials.  In close collaboration with strong market partners, these materials are used to develop and produce high quality, circular, and CO2 negative products for a variety of applications:

• Composites: hereby the resins act as a binder. For example, in wood panels or other (natural) fiber-based composites.
• Packaging: hereby molded paper is coated with the bio-resins. For example, on plant pots and food containers.
• Foams: hereby the resins are used as base material for biofoams. For example, for (sound) insulation applications in the construction industry.

Plantics is being recognized as one of the most promising biomaterials companies. It has received several prestigious international awards and grands such as the European Forum of Biobased Industries Pitch Fest award and a European SME Horizon 2020 grand. Recently, Plantics has been elected together with its partner ‘Vepa the furniture factory’ as the winner of the global innovation award ‘Renewable Material of the Year 2021’.

Finland, like other countries, generates huge amounts of textile waste. An estimated amount of 350 million kg of used textiles are disposed, as waste annually in the Nordic region. Finland’s share of this is around 100 million kg, of which about 80% is incinerated at the end of it’s life-cycle. This amount includes textiles used by both consumers and businesses. An EU directive, to be transposed into Finnish law as the new 2025 Waste Act, will oblige municipalities to set up and organise the collection of domestic used textiles. This in order to boost the quality of secondary raw material and its uptake.

The circular economy facility being built by Rester Oy in Paimio aims to ensure that businesses can dispose their end of life cycle textiles sustain-ably. The facility will focus on producing new raw material from used textiles with an annual capacity of 6,000 tonnes. Time-frame for the completion of this high-tech facility is Q1/2021. This is an significant project on European level thus enabling a completely new circular and sustainable economy service model for processing companies’ operating in the New Nordics

At Solarlite we are plugged to the sun. We harness its power to convert water into superheated steam. Solarlite CSP Technology GmbH, from the German state of Mecklenburg-West Pomerania, designs and builds solar thermal parabolic trough power stations (concentrated solar power) and process heat facilities. For the first time worldwide, Solarlite has proven direct steam generation commercially in a parabolic trough power plant. Solar thermal facilities offer the most sustainable form of energy recovery in terms of the environment, resources and availability. The technology has the advantage that as direct solar radiation increases, so does the efficiency of the facilities. The facilities are also characterised by a high degree of flexibility. They can be combined with all other fossil and renewable energy sources and are thus base-load capable. Another plus is the option of producing electricity and process heat at the same time or independently of one another. In addition, the residual heat can be used for further industrial applications for example desalination and cooling.
