Epoch Biodesign’s Post

Just a very quick enquiry on the off-chance any representatives from any bioplastics companies are on LinkedIn today, I have to slip in some quotes into an article on bioplastics I am going to submit later on so if you are able to answer the following Qs, that would be really useful. Thanks, Robin. What is your main line of bioplastics products, along with their uses? What are the properties, materials, and advantages/disadvantages of your bioplastics products? What are the environmental impacts of using your bioplastics products over conventional plastics products? How are your bioplastics products being implemented in the real world?

Confused about bioplastics? You're not the only one. Check out this short video from The Story of Stuff Project and Beyond Plastics. Watch it here: https://lnkd.in/gyH5RTsF.

As we strive towards a more sustainable future, industries, like #chemicals, must adapt and operate in a more eco-friendly manner. Leading this transition are two highly active industry sources for many of the products we use daily: the Texas Chemistry Council and the Texas Chemistry Alliance.

Going green has never been so interesting! Did you know that green chemistry often opts for water over harmful chemicals as a solvent? It’s not just safer for us, but it’s greener for our planet too! Plus, with advanced techniques like supercritical fluid extraction and subcritical water extraction, we can isolate products more efficiently and cleanly than ever before. Stay tuned for more eye-opening facts about eco-friendly chemical solutions and learn how you can contribute to a sustainable future.

Covestro has a bold goal: to achieve Scope 1 & 2 net zero emissions by 2035 by creating less energy-intensive processes, using climate-neutral steam, and enabling recycling. For Covestro, a global leader in polymers, the question of energy efficiency – both in terms of polymer production and application - looms large. Covestro are developing sustainable polymers using AVEVA Process Simulation. The solution’s flexibility allows Covestro’s teams to reuse existing sub-models and knowledge to create the new models they need. Powered by simulations Covestro performed using AVEVA Process Simulation, it has successfully established several laboratory and pilot-scale testing facilities to validate its predictions. This collaboration has led to establishing a viable approach to sustainable polymer production, driven cost efficiencies and created less energy-intensive chemical processes.

Principle 1 of the green chemistry principles is "Prevention". It's a great principle that shouldn't just apply to chemistry. More than ever, scientists are working to prevent lab waste. Here are two small things we do: 1/ A kanban system for keeping on top of inventory. - It's a simple system that stops the excess ordering of reagents, which then go to waste. 2/ Recycling and reusing boxes. - Stop chucking polystyrene boxes into your building's industrial bins. Contact the vendor and get them collected so they are reused. We need to do more to prevent lab waste. What's your top tip? ------- If you found this interesting please repost it. ♻️ #biotech #synbio #sustainability

The Urgency of Choice -Traditional vs. Green Chemistry! The dichotomy between traditional chemical manufacturing and green chemistry presents us with a clear choice. On one hand, we see the lasting damage of outdated practices — pollution and environmental degradation. On the other hand, the promise of green chemistry offers a pathway to innovation, sustainability, and restoration. At Zenfold Sustainable Technologies, we're committed to leading this transformation. We innovate and implement sustainable solutions that not only respect our environment but enhance it. So, let us know in the comments, isn't it time to make the switch? #sustainability #pharmaceuticals #innovation #innovativesolutions #zenfold
