In Denmark, Natural Material Studio has designed an entire home interior, including dining room, lounge, and bedroom, using bioplastic. Dubbed Utopia, the installation uses the studio’s Procel bioplastic and was on display during Copenhagen’s recent 3 Days of Design festival. “[Utopia] has for sure been the most challenging [installation] to date due to the complexity […]
In Denmark, researchers at the University of Copenhagen have developed a new, 100% biodegradable bioplastic from barley starch and sugarbeet waste. The team within the university’s Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences claim the new bioplastic biodegrades in just two months and could be used for food packaging, among other applications. “We have an enormous […]
In Denmark, Reuters reports Denmark is considering steps to prevent a fleet of older tankers that often lack recent inspections and proper maintenance known as the “shadow fleet,” from transporting Russian oil through the Baltic Sea. These vessels operate with unclear ownership and insufficient insurance coverage, posing significant environmental risks. Approximately one-third of Russia’s seaborne […]
In Denmark, Green Marine Fuels Trading announced a strategic collaboration with Royal Vopak Terminals to secure port storage facilities for green methanol in key Chinese ports, Shanghai Caojing and Tianjin Lingang.
