Suominen launches HYDRASPUN® Aquaflo

Suominen has successfully developed HYDRASPUN® Aquaflo, a moist toilet tissue with even better dispersibility. HYDRASPUN® Aquaflo offers near parity dispersion with dry toilet tissue but with premium thickness for a better consumer experience in use.

Suominen’s new flushable nonwovens substrate, HYDRASPUN® Aquaflo passed the stringent standards for dispersibility set by both the International Water Services Flushability Group (IWSFG) and INDA/EDANA (GD4) in independent testing.

“We are extremely proud to launch HYDRASPUN® Aquaflo. Its 100% cellulosic fiber composition is evidence of sustainable origins and its capability to fully and rapidly break down in wastewater provides biodegradability in disposal, giving consumers an end-to-end eco-friendly solution for personal care. Dry toilet tissue is recognized as the material most capable of breaking down in sewer systems and HYDRASPUN® Aquaflo was developed with this result in mind, “says Andrew Charleston, Manager, Category Management, Americas.

Kompetenzzentrum Textil vernetzt präsentiert virtuellen „KI-EscapeROOM“

Künstliche Intelligenz (KI) bietet auch kleinen und mittleren Unternehmen große Chancen. Damit das Potenzial von KI spielerisch erlebbar wird, haben die Deutschen Institute für Textil- und Faserforschung Denkendorf (DITF) und die Hahn-Schickard-Gesellschaft für angewandte Forschung e.V. im Sommer letzten Jahres den „KI-EscapeROOM“ eröffnet. Aufgrund der andauernden Einschränkungen durch COVID-19 wurde für Interessenten aus der Industrie eine virtuelle Möglichkeit geschaffen, weiterhin aktiv das Thema KI kennenzulernen. Das neue Online-Angebot des Mittelstand 4.0 Kompetenzzentrums Textil vernetzt kann ab sofort genutzt werden.

Das neue Online-Angebot des Mittelstand 4.0 Kompetenzzentrums Textil vernetzt kann ab sofort genutzt werden.

Wissenschaftler*innen von DITF und Hahn-Schickard haben im Sommer letzten Jahres gemeinsam ein Konzept erstellt, mit dem KI-Prinzipien spannend und verständlich vermittelt werden: Der KI-EscapeROOM wurde eröffnet. Die Spielenden werden Schritt für Schritt an das Thema KI herangeführt und können am Ende Impulse und Ideen für die eigene Arbeit mitnehmen. Als pandemiebedingt der reale KI-Escape-Room geschlossen werden musste, fehlte ein digitales Angebot. Jetzt wurde die virtuelle Baustelle für den Aufbau des KI-EscapeROOM eingerichtet. Mit Desktop-PC oder Laptop kann man in das 3D-Browser-Spiel eintreten und dabei helfen, den KI-EscapeROOM aufzubauen. In 15-20 Minuten kann die Baustelle weiterentwickelt werden, indem durch das richtige Beantworten von Multiple-Choice-Fragen benötigte Bauteile erspielt werden. Gegenstände müssen angeklickt und gedreht werden – überall können sich Hinweise verbergen.

Am Ende des Spiels steht nicht nur die Steuerzentrale, an die der reale KI-EscapeROOM anknüpft, sondern die Teilnehmer*innen wissen, was Künstliche Intelligenz kann – und was nicht. Die Spielerinnen und Spieler kennen sowohl verschiedene Aufgaben, die KI lösen kann, als auch verschiedene Algorithmen, die KI verwendet.

Der reale KI-EscapeROOM an den DITF kann jetzt wieder besucht werden. Mit Knobeln, Kombinieren und Ausprobieren können weitere spannende Aufgaben rund um Künstliche Intelligenz gelöst werden.

Im KI-EscapeROOM können Mitarbeiter*innen aus allen Branchen Künstliche Intelligenz hautnah erleben und gemeinsam in interdisziplinären Teams unterschiedliche Aufgaben meistern.

Wer sich gerne im KI-EscapeROOM für die Zukunft fit machen möchte, meldet sich zu einem der Termine an oder vereinbart einen individuellen Termin mit einer Gruppe von drei bis sechs Personen. Zur kompletten Terminübersicht aus dem Kompetenzzentrum Textil vernetzt geht es unter www.kompetenzzentrum-textil-vernetzt.digital.

Für die Teilnehmer*innen, die Ideen in ihren Unternehmen umsetzen möchten, stehen zusätzlich die KI-Trainer*innen aus dem Kompetenzzentrum Textil vernetzt mit Rat und Tat zur Seite.

Energy supplies crisis: EURATEX calls for immediate support

On the occasion of EURATEX Board of Directors meeting, held in Brussels September 24, President Alberto Paccanelli issued an urgent appeal to European and national authorities to support the European textiles and clothing companies who face a massive increase in their energy costs.

“The cost of energy, in particular gas, has increased more than 3 times since the beginning of this year. Since the announcement of the EU’s “Fit for 55” package, we have seen CO² prices rising above €60. This inevitably has an impact on our competitiveness, especially in a global context.”.

EURATEX asks for immediate measures which can alleviate the burden of these energy cost, e.g. by reducing VAT on the energy bills. In the longer run, the EU should develop a smart strategy towards ensuring long term sustainable energy supply, at reasonable cost for the industry. If this is not considered, any attempt towards developing a new EU Industrial strategy will be meaningless, since competition with third countries will be devastating.

50 companies have joined ChemSec’s PFAS Movement

More and more brands are actively speaking up against the use of PFAS chemicals in products and supply chains. ChemSec’s corporate initiative the PFAS Movement was started in 2020, with the aim of creating a network of companies that would like to see PFAS chemicals regulated more efficiently. As of September 2021, 50 companies have joined the movement.

PFAS, short for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, is a chemical family consisting of almost 5,000 industrially produced chemicals. In manufacturing, PFAS are favored for their durability and well-functioning properties. They provide features such as non-stick, water repellency and anti-grease to many types of everyday products, including cosmetics, food packaging, frying pans and clothes, just to name a few.

Lately, more and more reports have been suggesting that PFAS are a serious problem. Human epidemiological studies have found associations between PFAS exposure and a number of health disorders.

Lately, more and more reports have been suggesting that PFAS are a serious problem. Human epidemiological studies have found associations between PFAS exposure and a number of health disorders.

One of the biggest challenges connected to PFAS is that, with very few exceptions, they are perfectly legal to use. This means that the brands and retailers who want to stop them from being used as ingredients in their products have very limited ways of communicating this in the global supply chain. As long as there is not a restriction in place, suppliers will continue to use these very effective chemicals in manufacturing. That’s why companies act together with a unified voice, like in the case of ChemSec’s PFAS Movement.

Die Anwendungsgebiete im Innen- und Außenraum reichen von Industrieanwendungen, POS, Digital Signage, Werbetechnik und Innenarchitektur mit Möbelbau bis Smart Home.

Echte runde Anzeige
Distec hat für den POS-I-PRO eine weitere Herausforderung gelöst: Herkömmliche Betriebssysteme können derzeit nur einen rechteckigen Desktop anzeigen, wodurch der Inhalt in den Ecken auf einem runden Display abgeschnitten wird. Basierend auf der Software Embedded Wizard liefert der Monitorhersteller aus Germering zusammen mit den Geräten ein Grundgerüst für echte runde Anzeigen aus. Die Grundbefehle für die Einbindung des Touchscreens wie Wischgesten und Klickmodi sind bereits Teil des Pakets. Auf Wunsch sind auch kleinere und größere Modelle des POS-I-PRO auf Projektbasis realisierbar.

Die POS-I-PRO-Serie erfüllt die Anforderungen der neuen EU-Ökodesign-Richtlinie, sodass eine sehr gute Langzeitverfügbarkeit von Ersatzteilen sowie eine hohe Reparaturfreundlichkeit garantiert wird. Distec fertigt die Geräte in Deutschland und achtet darüber hinaus auch auf die ökologische Verträglichkeit seiner Produkte und der verwendeten Materialien.

Launch of a new ISO certification standard

Textechno reports launch of a new standard for the drapability and deformability of fabrics and non-wovens: ISO 21765

World market leader for precision testing equipment Textechno and their partner SAERTEX, global market leader in non-crimp fabrics (NCF) are proud to announce that the newly developed international standard ISO 21765:2020 to quantify material behaviour in terms of drapability and deformability was recently published by ISO.

The new standard ISO 21765 allows the world-wide comparable measurement of all relevant parameters regarding the deformability and drapability of all kinds of fabrics, including woven fabrics and NCFs as well as knitted fabrics and non-wovens on Textechno´s precision testing equipment DRAPETEST. This can be very useful in the carbon fibre recycling since one of the most efficient applications of recycled carbon fibres will be in non-wovens.

This is the first testing instrument world-wide to quantify not only the force which is required for deforming a fabric, but also the various defects such as gaps, undulation, or wrinkles which can arise due to the deformation.

This is the first testing instrument world-wide to quantify not only the force which is required for deforming a fabric, but also the various defects such as gaps, undulation, or wrinkles which can arise due to the deformation.

In the frame of a publicly funded project which started in 2011, Textechno developed the award-winning automatic drapability tester DRAPETEST along with other partners, amongst them SAERTEX.  

Dietmar Möcke, CTO at SAERTEX says: „With ISO 21765, we finally have a standardized testing method with world-wide validity. It allows us to provide our customers with comparable and reproducible measurement values regarding the draping characteristics of our products.”

Ulrich Mörschel, Managing Director of Textechno adds: “We are grateful for the support from all around the world allowing us to establish the new ISO standard. The standard finally fills a gap in the testing methods for fabrics both in the fields of textiles and composites.”

Dr. Michael Effing, Managing Director of AMAC GmbH and Senior Advisor to Textechno: “A lot of research is dedicated to new production technologies of composites, non-crimp fabrics and classical fabrics for thermosets have with 33 % a significant market share in the production of all composite materials. The application of the new standard for non-wovens from recycled carbon fibres comes perfectly on time for this market sector which will gain more and more importance within the next years.

Positionspapier und Forschungsprogramm zum Recycling von Kunststoffen

Rund 30 Fraunhofer Institute und Einrichtungen befassen sich mit dem Recycling und der Aufbereitung von Kunststoffen. Übersicht aktueller Initiativen zur Demonstration und Kommerzialisierung von chemischen Recyclingverfahren.

Das Positionspapier gibt einen Überblick über werk- und rohstoffliche (chemische) Aufbereitungstechnologien für Kunststoffe, die sich derzeit in der Entwicklung befinden und noch nicht zum Stand der Technik zählen. Insbesondere werden sogenannte chemische Recyclingverfahren eingeordnet. Beleuchtet werden dabei der technische Entwicklungsstand der Verfahren, deren Vor- und Nachteile, die regulatorischen und gesetzlichen Rahmenbedingungen, die ökonomische Machbarkeit sowie Potenziale für den Umwelt- und Klimaschutz. Eine Marktübersicht zeigt darüber hinaus, welche Projekte seitens der Industrie im Bereich chemischer Recyclingverfahren derzeit laufen, welche Abfallstoffe behandelt werden und welche Anlagenkapazität vorhanden bzw. geplant ist.

Prof. Matthias Franke, Leiter des Institutsteils Sulzbach-Rosenberg von Fraunhofer UMSICHT, entwickelt vor allem pyrolysebasierte Recycling­technologien. Er fasst die Ergebnisse zusammen: »Die Nachfrage nach hochwertigen Kunststoffrezyklaten nimmt derzeit zu. Hintergrund sind einerseits die Selbstverpflichtungen der Hersteller, andererseits die Vorgaben der Europäischen Union zum Rezyklateinsatz. Mit Rezyklateinsatzquoten und steigenden CO2-Preisen wird die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit von Rezyklaten gegenüber Primärware gestärkt, und die Abhängigkeit vom Rohölpreis aufgehoben. Dies schafft Investitionssicherheit für das Recycling. Neuartige Recyclingtechnologien sind nach unserer Einschätzung technisch in der Lage, die zusätzliche Nachfrage nach hochqualitativen Rezyklaten zu bedienen. Entwicklungs­bedarf gibt es vor allem noch bei komplexen Abfällen wie zum Beispiel Verbundmaterialien. Auch eine ökologische Gesamtbewertung der Verfahren steht noch aus.«

Ausgehend vom derzeitigen Entwicklungsstand schätzen die Fraunhofer Forschenden die Potenziale von alternativen Recyclingtechnologien insgesamt positiv ein, wenn Sie als Ergänzung zu etablierten werkstofflichen Verfahren eingesetzt werden. Sie seien technisch mach- und beherrschbar, sie könnten dazu beitragen, die Kreislaufführung von Kunststoffen zu verbessern und hochqualitative Sekundärrohstoffe für die Industrie bereit zu stellen. Vor allem die rohstofflichen / chemischen Verfahren könnten ein ergänzender Baustein für höherwertiges Kunststoff-Recycling sein besonders bei bisher schwer behandelbaren Abfallströmen.

Die Positionen des Fraunhofer CCPE im Einzelnen:

  • Werkstoffliche Verfahren sind für sortenreine Kunststofffraktionen (Thermoplaste) die beste Wahl.
  • Mit zunehmender Heterogenität, Verschmutzung oder Kontamination von Kunststoffabfällen kommt das werkstoffliche Recycling an seine Grenzen. Füll-, Stör- und Schadstoffe können in Sortier-, Wasch- und Extrusionsanlagen oft nicht vollständig ausgeschleust werden. Bestimmte Kunststoffsorten sind werkstofflich kaum verwertbar.
  • Um eine Steigerung der Kreislaufführung von Kunststoffen zu erreichen, ist eine Ergänzung der werkstofflichen Verfahren durch alternative Prozesse und Prozess-Kombinationen erforderlich.
  • Da chemische Recyclingverfahren ebenfalls in der Lage sind, Sekundärrohstoffe für die Kunststoffproduktion bereitzustellen, sollte die werkstoffliche Verwertungs­quote im Bereich der Verpackungskunststoffe durch eine technologieoffene Recyclingquote ersetzt werden. Dies würde technische Innovationen im mengenmäßig dominanten Recycling von Verpackungen fördern.
  • Eine gesamtökologische Betrachtung von Recyclingverfahren oder Verfahrens­kombinationen für spezifische Altkunststoffe muss noch erbracht werden.
  • Eine teilweise Substitution von erdölbasierten Basischemikalien durch chemische Rezyklate bspw. auf Basis von Kunststoffabfällen erscheint technologisch möglich.

Im Positionspapier stellt Fraunhofer CCPE eine Forschungsagenda vor:

1. Analyse von kunststoffhaltigen Abfällen verbessern
2. Transparenz über ökonomische und ökologische Auswirkungen durch Langzeitbetrieb herstellen
3. Dynamische Bewertungsmodelle für die Abfallbehandlung entwickeln
4. Recyclingtechnologien koppeln
5. Automatisierte, KI-basierte gestufte Recyclingverfahren erforschen
6. Rezyklate und Zwischenprodukte aus den Recyclingprozessen optimieren
