AION'S PURPOSE

BECOME MORE CIRCULAR

WHAT IS AION AND WHY DO WE DO WHAT WE DO?

There is a pressing need for companies to account for the impact within their own and extended value-chains in accurate details. With increasing consumer demand for sustainable products and a growing regulatory pressure to reduce environmental impact, businesses are facing significant challenges in meeting these expectations. 

EU NEW Green deal results in massive increase in new legislation

The European Green Deal is an ambitious plan proposed by the European Commission to transform the European Union (EU) into a more sustainable and climate-neutral economy. It aims to make Europe the world's first climate-neutral continent by 2050, with significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and increased efforts to protect biodiversity and natural resources.  

The Green Deal encompasses various policy initiatives and measures across different sectors, including energy, transport, agriculture, and industry, to achieve these goals. Key components of the Green Deal include increasing renewable energy production, improving energy efficiency, promoting sustainable agriculture and forestry practices, and fostering the circular economy.

The European Green Deal was introduced by the European Commission on December 11, 2019. While specific policies and measures are being implemented gradually over time, the Green Deal represents a starting point for a landslide of new regulations hitting specific industries and materials since then.

NEW REGULATIONS

TRENDS AND REGULATIONS FOR PLASTICS

In order to ensure progress and reach emissions goals, new regulations and legislations have emerged within different industries through the EU following the New Green Deal.  

Set targets for reuse of several products categories over single-use and low lifetime options, minimum recycled content in products and packaging, ban on single-use plastics, plastic tax and  (SUP’s, PPWR, CSRD) more comprehensive EPR regulations are just some of the areas touching upon AION’s customers. 

New agreements to reduce, reuse and recycle, increase safety and boost the circular economy are hitting the plastic industry. Aiming for less packaging and restricting certain packaging formats and non-circular design.

Some new legislations have set concrete packaging reduction targets (5% by 2030, 10% by 2035 and 15% by 2040) and requires EU countries to reduce plastic packaging waste. Several types of single use plastic packaging will further be banned, and other packaging categories will need to meet a of minimum recycled content to avoid taxation or other fees Following these new regulations overall trends of increase costs and time from companies to remain compliant is to be expected.  

Further AION follows the increased demand and need for full value-chain traceability and emergence of Digital product passports (DPP) within several product categories, expected to apply for plastic products by 2030.

WHY DO WE HAVE TO PROVE OUR SOLUTION?

At AION, we recognize the critical importance of proving the impact of sustainability initiatives in today's complex business landscape. From combating greenwashing to navigating intricate value chains and complying with regulations, companies face numerous challenges in demonstrating their commitment to environmental responsibility.

Greenwashing Misleading or exaggerated claims about sustainability practices undermine consumer trust and credibility, making it essential for companies to provide verifiable evidence of their environmental impact.
Complex value chains As supply chains become increasingly global and interconnected, tracking the journey of raw materials and products becomes more challenging, leading to gaps in traceability and accountability. 
Regulatory compliance Stringent environmental regulations require companies to accurately measure and report their environmental impact, putting pressure on organizations to gather reliable data and evidence to demonstrate compliance.
Bad data Inaccurate or incomplete data can distort the true environmental impact of products and practices, hindering efforts to make informed decisions and improve sustainability performance. 
Transparency By proving the impact of our sustainability initiatives, we build trust and credibility with our stakeholders, including customers, investors, and regulatory bodies. Transparency is essential for fostering strong relationships and demonstrating our commitment to responsible business practices. 
Accountability Proving our impact holds us accountable for our actions and decisions. It ensures that we uphold our environmental commitments and strive to achieve measurable outcomes that benefit both society and the planet. 
Validation Proving our impact validates the effectiveness of our sustainability strategies and initiatives. It confirms that our efforts are making a meaningful difference in reducing environmental impact, conserving resources, and promoting sustainable practices. 
Continuous Improvement Proving our impact allows us to identify areas for improvement and refine our strategies over time.
