Producing fertiliser without carbon emissions
Researchers at ETH Zurich and the Carnegie Institution for Science have shown how nitrogen fertiliser could be produced more sustainably. This is necessary not only to protect the climate, but also to reduce dependence on imported natural gas and to increase food security
Dünger klimafreundlicher produzieren
Forschende der ETH Zürich und der Carnegie Institution for Science zeigen auf, wie sich Stickstoffdünger nachhaltiger herstellen liesse. Dies ist nicht nur aus Klimaschutzgründen nötig, sondern auch um die Abhängigkeit von Erdgasimporten zu reduzieren und um die Ernährungssicherheit zu erhöhen
C&A und das Bioökonomie-Start Up traceless materials ersetzen Textilhaken aus Plastik
Die Pilotphase mit traceless materials ist ein weiteres Beispiel für C&As Initiativen im Rahmen der Kreislaufwirtschaft, wie auch die Cradle to Cradle® zertifizierten Produktinnovationen oder die Zusammenarbeit mit dem Materialforschungsunternehmen Recover™
An exclusive interview with Giulia Gregori, Novamont. “Specific codes for the biobased industries are fundamental to fully exploit the circular bioeconomy potential”
NACE codes are an important element as they would allow a better measurement in the statistical field and the possibility of addressing specific legislative measures dedicated to waste deriving from biodegradable and compostable plastic products
Scientists Discover Enzymes That Could Make It Cheaper To Recycle Waste Polyester Textiles and Bottles Than Making Them From Petroleum
Using machine learning, NREL-led team discovered variants of 'plastic-eating' enzymes adapted to deconstructing all varieties of PET — even durable crystalline varieties
Vollebak releases “first piece of clothing ever” coloured with black algae dye
Experimental clothing brand Vollebak and biomaterials company Living Ink have teamed up to create a T-shirt using black dye made from algae instead of petroleum, in what they say marks a major breakthrough for sustainable fashion
New study on optimizing microbial fuel cells shows electrode material can make all the difference
The best results were achieved with carbon felt and modified stainless steel mesh, which generated quantities of electricity that can be used in practice, for example, to power environmental monitoring sensors in remote regions
Neue Studie zur Optimierung mikrobieller Brennstoffzellen: das Elektrodenmaterial macht den Unterschied
Das beste Ergebnis erzielten modifizierte Elektroden aus Edelstahlgewebe, die unabhängig zuverlässig Strommengen erzeugen, welche z.B. für den Betrieb von Umweltüberwachungssensoren in entlegenen Regionen genutzt werden können
CJ Biomaterials Partners with South Korean Industry-University Research Council to Promote Eco-Friendly Material and Accelerate Adoption of PHA Technology
Companies help address the challenge of plastic waste, which is capable of all modes of biodegradability and compostability, including marine, soil, home and industrial
Carbon-negative synthetic biology: challenges and emerging trends of cyanobacterial technology
Excessive CO2 emissions are one of the most widely discussed challenges in the 21st century. Carbon-negative production of value-added chemicals by cyanobacterial cell factories has been considered a top priority for solving such problems
It’s the holiday season for US renewable chemicals
While the renewable chemicals industry continues to play second fiddle to biofuels when it comes to US government funding (it’s true!), the Biden Administration’s actions towards boosting the bioeconomy are setting off a flurry of activities on how renewable chemicals companies can dip in to these bioeconomy-related funding initiatives
Wood and CuanTec to accelerate circular economy solutions in the UK
Wood, the global consulting and engineering company, will work with CuanTec Ltd., a Scottish circular economy business, to develop cutting edge separation facilities that will process shellfish waste to extract chitin, a naturally occurring, 100% compostable biopolymer with a wide range of applications in the pharmaceutical, cosmetics and food industries
