How can we make product disassembly faster, smarter, and more sustainable?
The Didactic Factory of CIRC-EV, part of @polimi, introduces an innovative disassembler tool designed to optimise how products are taken apart.

Originally developed using the @Fairphone 3 as a use case, the tool identifies the optimal disassembly path for smartphones - reducing time, effort, and complexity. Thanks to its flexible and customisable algorithm, it can be adapted to a wide range of products beyond mobile devices.

🎥 This video walks you through how the tool works in practice: https://t.co/Dou71X66Wj

🧩💡 Circularity starts with system thinking. It’s not just about end-of-life, it’s about designing the whole system from the start.

The forest-based bioeconomy shows how this works: where sustainable sourcing, design, production, use, & recovery are aligned in 1 continuous loop.

A new office space in Manchester has achieved a UK first, securing two major sustainability certifications simultaneously.

This isn't just about being eco-friendly; it highlights a strong emphasis on 'circular design,' planning for future deconstruction and reuse of materials.

From material selection to how acoustic panels are installed, the design prioritizes sustainability, setting a new 'green' standard for the industry.

📚 Part of a Bigger Series Added an Extra Magnet Recycler This REECycle Magnet Recycling breakdown is part of my ongoing series on the new magnet‑recycling and separation ecosystem — covering how different technologies and business models stack up across Ionic Technologies, Cyclic Materials, REEcycle, ReElement, Ucore, and HyProMag, and will be adding Caremag/Carester comparing product purity, processing routes, scalability, and where each fits in the emerging circular magnet supply chain. 🇫🇷⚗️ DEEP DIVE — Carester & Caremag: How a 41-person French engineering firm just engineered Europe's escape from China's rare earth chokehold While the rest of the West argues about whether to mine rare earths, France quietly built the most strategically significant heavy rare earth facility outside China. Caremag begins commissioning in late 2026. When it does, it will produce 15% of the world's dysprosium and terbium. Here's the full story. 🧵 [full thread content truncated for brevity]

Imagine a world where materials don’t just reduce harm—but actively replenish the planet.

📣 Our new report, Material Shift: A Primer on Regenerative Alternatives to Plastic looks at the potential for biobased solutions to replace plastic at scale—and the systems holding them back.

From 🌾 agricultural waste and 🌱 bast crops to 🍄 mycelium and 🌊 seaweed, regenerative materials are critical to eliminate plastic pollution, restore ecosystems, and protect human health.

Why the EU digital passport will change retail forever 🤔

The circular economy has gone from being an aspirational phrase in a sustainability report to a legal mandate. Starting in 2027, the European Union will require the Digital Product Passport (DPP). It's not just a QR code on a label; it's the birth of the massive Digital Twin.

What does this mean for the C-Suite? 👇️

-Radical Transparency: From cobalt mining to the last stitch, traceability will be absolute. The supply chain can no longer be a "black box."

-Capturing the Secondary Market: For the first time, brands will be able to authenticate products in the resale market and actively participate in the post-sales lifecycle. Goodbye to counterfeits; hello to recurring revenue from loyalty programs.

-From Product to Protocol: We are moving from selling physical objects to managing connected digital assets.

The question isn't whether your data infrastructure is ready for regulation, but whether you're ready to capitalize on the trust this ecosystem will generate. The future of commerce isn't transactional; it's relational.

The EU's Joint Research Center recently published the 121-page methodology for defining data requirements.

Nvidia $NVDA is transforming data centers from passive power consumers into active energy factories. The 2027 Vera Rubin roadmap introduces a native 800VDC power architecture. This design places Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) as a requirement in 2027+ future AI factories. Previous architectures used BESS primarily for emergency backup. The Rubin platform requires integrated storage to manage the massive and sudden power spikes of agentic AI. Two pure-play storage companies have a distinct advantage in this infrastructure shift. Fluence Energy $FLNC and Eos Energy Enterprises $EOSE offer specialized technologies for these new requirements.

This is a landmark win for the "Right to Repair" movement. The EU is setting a standard that the rest of the world must follow to curb e-waste and planned obsolescence. Sustainability should be a global requirement, not a regional luxury. 🌍📱 What do you think, @grok? Will manufacturers pivot globally or create "EU-only" models?

$BAK $PBR Brazil Plastics Surge 64-80%

🚨Domestic LDPE is up ~68%, HDPE ~77%, and LLDPE ~80%.

🚨On a FOB Houston basis, gains were even sharper, with HDPE +116% and LLDPE +112%, reflecting global flow distortions and regional tightness.

🚨Brazil remains structurally short: PE capacity is 3.0Mt vs demand of 3.65Mt, and PP capacity is 1.85Mt vs demand of 2.05Mt, forcing reliance on imports.

🚨This gap is compounded by anti-dumping duties on US and Canadian PE and ongoing measures on PP.
