EXCERPTS: Novoloop®, a U.S. technology pioneer in circular innovation, today announced a strategic partnership with Shanghai Huide Science & Technology Co., Ltd. to scale the production of Novoloop’s Lifecycled™ thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). The collaboration is formalized through a five-year Contract Manufacturing Agreement, which establishes long-term clarity on supply, pricing, and quality standards. Novoloop has developed a proprietary chemical process that converts post-consumer polyethylene waste into virgin-quality Lifecycled™ polyols and polyurethane. This breakthrough technology enables materials traditionally made from fossil resources to be sourced instead from hard-to-recycle waste plastics. Huide has spent nearly 30 years advancing polyurethane technologies, developing an end-to-end capability from R&D and process scale-up to manufacturing and supply-chain management, providing the foundation to translate material innovation into scalable industrial solutions. Together, Novoloop and Huide have successfully produced multiple batches of Lifecycled™ 67A TPU on commercial reactive extrusion lines using Novoloop’s Lifecycled™ polyol and formulations. https://lnkd.in/g8umMwKf

Focusing on the world's most innovative countries isn't all that insightful – particularly for huge countries like the US, China and India. But the World Intellectual Property Organization – WIPO also provides data on the most innovative regions (mostly clusters of cities). These highlight much more clearly where innovation activity really takes place. In most countries, there are just 1 or 2 clusters with high concentrations of research, patent filing and VC investment. What surprises do you see in this global ranking?
