Gerwin Drent, Finance Manager at UBQ Materials and project leader for JTF, recently spoke with Giulia Daniele from British Plastics & Rubber about the importance of securing the Just Transition Fund (JTF) and our plans moving forward. The current plans include improving the efficiency and sustainability of our state-of-the-art industrial facility in the #Netherlands and further developing our product portfolio.

The world agrees on the need to reduce carbon emissions, as they are one of the main drivers of earth’s rising temperature. However, each country has a different perspective on how this should be done. On our new #UBQTalks series, we asked Gina McCarthy, former Administrator of EPA in the U.S., whether there is one unique approach that could work across countries and regions. In a nutshell, while the approach might look similar, it will vary depending on the specific needs of each country.  Don’t miss her insights on this critical topic!

In our recent poll, we asked how much food waste increases in Australia during the holiday season (December 1 – January 1).    Australians discard more than 25% of their food during the festivities. According to a KitchenAid study in 2016, nine out of 10 ‘Aussies’ usually waste more food during the holidays.    While no updated data is available, considering population growth and shifts in consumer habits and product components, it’s likely that this percentage has risen since then.    The real concern with the millions of tons of household waste disposed of in landfills is methane emissions, especially those from food waste, which currently accounts for over 24% of total emissions.    UBQ™ material, made of household waste including organics and hard-to-recycle materials, offers a solution right now. As a bio-based, thermoplastic material, it supports the circular economy, reduces dependency on conventional plastics, and removes and avoids greenhouse gas emissions.    Learn more about UBQ: www.ubqmaterials.com    #UBQ #Sustainability

In our recent poll, we asked how much household waste increases during the holiday festivities in the United States.    According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), back in 2016, household waste was estimated to increase by 25% between Thanksgiving and New Year’s. While no updated data is available, considering population growth and shifts in consumer habits and product components, it’s likely that this percentage has risen since then.    The real concern with the millions of tons of household waste disposed of in landfills is methane emissions, especially those from food waste, which currently accounts for over 24% of total emissions.    UBQ™ material, made of household waste including organics and hard-to-recycle materials, offers a solution right now. As a bio-based thermoplastic material, it supports the circular economy, reduces dependency on conventional plastics, and removes and avoids greenhouse gas emissions.    Learn more about UBQ: www.ubqmaterials.com     #UBQ #Sustainability 

In our recent poll, we asked how many rolls of wrapping paper an average household in the #UK uses each year.    The answer is four. Due to the use of plastic, glitter, or laminates in wrapping paper, over 83 km2 of wrapping paper ends up in bins, ultimately reaching landfills and/or incinerators because it cannot be recycled.    Research by Greenpeace found that for every kilogram of wrapping paper produced, over 3 kg of CO2 emissions are generated, primarily from the 1.3 kg of coal required in its production process.    Wrapping paper, organics and hard-to-recycle materials are part of the mixed household waste, which is converted into UBQ™ material today.  As a bio-based, thermoplastic material, UBQ™ supports the circular economy, reduces dependency on conventional plastics, and removes and avoids greenhouse gas emissions.    Learn more about UBQ: www.ubqmaterials.com     #UBQ #Sustainability

As we gather to celebrate this holiday season, we reflect on a year that has been both challenging and prosperous in many ways.
