Exklusive dm-Innovation schützt das Klima, schont Ressourcen und stärkt Kreisläufe

Erstmals können Tenside über ein fermentations-basiertes CO2-Recycling-Verfahren gewonnen werden. Diese technologische Innovation ist dm gemeinsam mit seinen Herstellpartnern LanzaTech und der Mibelle Group gelungen. Ab November bringt dm mit dem Color- und dem Vollwaschmittel von Denkmit unter dem Pro Climate-Label die ersten beiden Produkte in seine mehr als 2.150 deutschen dm-Märkte. Das neuartig gewonnene, nichtionische

dm-drogerie markt Launches New Sustainable Laundry Detergent

German retailer dm-drogerie markt will launch new sustainable laundry detergents under its own-brand, Denkmit, this November. The first two Denkmit detergents, colour and all-purpose laundry detergent, will be available in dm’s more than 2.150 German stores. The German drugstore chain collaborated with its production partners LanzaTech and the Mibelle Group to create a new environmentally friendly manufacturing process for detergents. Sustainable

Last Chance to Register – Advanced Recycling Conference 2025

On 19-20 November 2025, the Advanced Recycling Conference (ARC) in Cologne, Germany, once more unites industry leaders, technology providers, researchers, innovators, and policy-makers to address urgent recycling challenges in various waste-streams. Alongside core-topics like plastics and polymer recycling, this year’s event places strong emphasis on pollution-intensive sectors like textile and automotive, that pose significant environmental problems due to

Final Chance to Submit Your Abstract: CO₂-based Fuels and Chemicals Conference 2026

Only one week left to submit your abstract for the CO2-based Fuels and Chemicals Conference 2026, taking place on 28–29 April 2026 in Cologne, Germany. This hybrid event consistently attracts over 230 international experts from industry, research, and policy, making it a unique meeting place for advancing Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) and Power-to-X technologies. The

CO2-utilization technology makes renewable acrylonitrile

Nearly all of the currently produced building-block chemical acrylonitrile (AN) results from the ammoxidation of propylene, a process that requires precise heat control and generates several toxic side products, such as hydrogen cyanide. The startup company Mars Materials has developed an alternative process that utilizes captured CO2 or bio-based feedstocks, improves the yields of AN and

AI Circular Economy Conference 2026: How AI Powers Progress from Chemical and Material Innovations to Data Security – Preliminary Program now Published

The AI Circular Economy Conference 2026, organised by nova-Institute, is taking place on 4–5 March 2026 in Cologne, Germany, and online. This international hybrid event will bring together experts from the new chemical and plastic industry, recycling, biotechnology, CO2 utilisation (CCU) and digital sectors to explore the transformation towards circular and renewable carbon systems by

AI Circular Economy Conference 2026: Wie Künstliche Intelligenz Innovationen in der Chemie, Materialentwicklung und Datensicherheit vorantreibt – Vorläufiges Programm jetzt veröffentlicht

Die vom nova-Institut organisierte „AI Circular Economy Conference 2026” findet vom 4. bis 5. März 2026 in Köln und online statt. Bei dieser internationalen Hybridveranstaltung kommen Experten aus den Bereichen neue Chemie und Werkstoffindustrie, Recycling, Biotechnologie, CO2-Nutzung (CCU) und Digitaltechnik zusammen, um die Transformation hin zu zirkulären und erneuerbaren Kohlenstoffsystemen durch KI zu erörtern. Die

Microalgae convert CO2 into useful basic chemicals

Researchers in Saxony are developing biotechnological cell factories that do not require agricultural land or fossil raw materials. Chemnitz University of Technology, Leipzig University, and Fraunhofer FEP are using microalgae to produce the important basic chemical glycolate from carbon dioxide and sunlight – a building block for medicines, preservatives, and polymers that is currently produced

Mikroalgen wandeln CO2 in nützliche Basischemikalie um

Sächsische Forschende entwickeln biotechnologische Zellfabriken, die ohne landwirtschaftliche Anbauflächen und fossile Rohstoffe auskommen. Die TU Chemnitz, die Universität Leipzig und das Fraunhofer FEP nutzen Mikroalgen, um aus Kohlendioxid und Sonnenlicht die wichtige Grundchemikalie Glykolat zu produzieren – einen Baustein für Medikamente, Konservierungsstoffe und Polymere, der heute noch aus teils giftigen fossilen Ausgangsstoffen hergestellt wird. Das

CO₂ as a raw material: new process makes climate gas usable for the chemical industry

Researchers from the Leibniz Institute for Catalysis (LIKAT), Ruhr University Bochum (RUB) and Evonik Oxeno have developed a novel catalyst system that enables the use of the climate gas carbon dioxide (CO2) as a raw material for the chemical industry. This breakthrough allows for the more sustainable production of key products such as fragrances and
