While walking with his beloved Golden Retriever Bailey, our CEO Christoph Bruehl regularly observes a prevalent issue: cannabis packaging litter, including discarded plastic pre-roll tubes. This is a constant reminder to him of Upcyx's steadfast commitment to a waste-free world, starting with creating circular cannabis packaging economies. Upcyx is actively seeking partnerships with licensed cannabis producers across Canada in their Cannabis Waste Upcycling Program♻️ The goal? To access cannabis waste material and transform it into biodegradable composite material that can later be manufactured into cannabis packaging. With a mission to lead the charge in sustainable packaging solutions, Upcyx invites licensed cannabis producers to join us in our journey towards a greener future. Together, we can make a tangible difference and usher in a new era of environmental responsibility in the cannabis industry. We may not be able to stop people from littering their pre-roll tubes, but we can make their litter biodegradable😉 If you’re interested in seeing your cannabis waste be upcycled into biodegradable packaging solutions, don’t hesitate to send us a message or email us at hello@upcyx.com for more info 🌎💚🌱 #Upcyx #CircularEconomy #BiodegradablePackaging #Sustainability #CannabisIndustry #CannabisPackaging #Upcycling

I am thrilled to share an exciting collaboration that addresses our commitment to sustainability and reducing environmental impact. Takeda, ORIX Eco Services, and JR Freight have come together to tackle the challenge of recycling blister packaging waste in our pharmaceutical manufacturing processes.   As the first pharmaceutical company in Japan to recycle blister packaging waste, we're making significant strides towards a greener future. Partnering with ORIX Eco Services, a licensed waste disposal company, we'll efficiently recycle around 95% of the blister packaging waste generated annually at our site—a major milestone in our sustainability journey.   To further reduce our carbon footprint, JR Freight will provide rail transportation services for shipping the blister packaging waste. This sustainable alternative emits significantly less CO2 than traditional road transport, contributing to an eco-friendly supply chain.   Our vision is crystal clear: preserving the natural environment that sustains life. Through collaborations like this, we showcase our unwavering commitment to minimizing the environmental impact of our manufacturing activities.   Read more about this exciting initiative in the press release here: https://lnkd.in/gmtSRgth   #Sustainability #MaterialRecycling #ModalShift

We support businesses committed to greener practices and can help you find environmentally conscious talent for your team. Let's build a sustainable future together. #cannabisjobs #cannabis #cannabiscommunity #cannabisindustry #cannabiscareers

We shared our thoughts on how to increase collection rates of #disposablevape significantly. #deposit scheme could be the only option because methods with carton boxes without any carrot to consumers don't work at all. Why? Because if 11,000 collection points over England collect only a few up to 10% in the best case scenario with 0% #recycling rate. Let's agree, greater coverage will not solve it, we need to adapt to today's consumer mindset, way of living, and lifestyle by connecting all the stakeholders and making it work.
