Do you recycle? ♻ Last week our colleague Anne Krongaard represented Bavarian Nordic on stage at the leading Nordic responsible use conference LOOP Forum addressing how we incorporate recycling into our business. In 2023 we managed to recycle more than 50% of our resources used in our global manufacturing. This was despite a significantly higher production level and adding a new manufacturing site to our environmental accounting. Of new recycling initiatives we particularly focus on recycling options for mixed plastics, and recycling of glass from vaccine vials that have been discarded.

Circular Economy for Plastics in Europe This week, Haley Lowry Global Sustainability Director for Dow Packaging & Specialty Plastics came to Brussels to discuss business opportunities for Dow in the region, aligned to our #TransformTheWaste goal. During her visit, she met different actors of the plastics value chain, including manufacturers of packaging, brand owners and recyclers. The main topic of debate was the upcoming #Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation #PPWR and how it could provide a critical business environment to drive demand for recycled plastics among other #sustainable technologies. Once again, we corroborate that collaboration among the value chain is the right way to successfully transition to a circular economy, as a key tool for decarbonization, and we reconfirm the central role that industry has in the development of public policy. Thank you caroline ploux David Carroll Francesca Siciliano Stevens Nick Dornheim Rob Verhagen Maria Vera Duran Carolina Gregorio and Dennis Kredler for sharing your views on the opportunities and challenges of Europe in its path to a more sustainable economy! #PPWR #Sustainability #CircularEconomy #PublicPolicy #colaboration
