A research report “Seaweed: Kelp is on the way” by Standard Chartered ESG shows that expanding the seaweed industry has the potential to improve the health of our oceans while contributing a wide range of other sustainable outcomes, including food sources, feedstocks and as an alternative to plastics. https://loom.ly/1eU5SWo #BlueEconomy #Oceans

Manufacturers can be environmental heroes! Product stewardship is a powerful concept where companies take responsibility for a product's entire life cycle, from design all the way to disposal. This means considering the environment and health from the get-go, during manufacturing, and even how the product is ultimately discarded. Imagine designing things that are easy to recycle or even made with recycled materials! Product stewardship helps reduce waste, protects our health, and paves the way for a more sustainable future. Let's champion manufacturers who embrace this responsible approach!

🌱📈 Exciting new research in the sustainability realm! A recently published study in the journal Clean Technologies and Environmental Policy sheds light on key aspects of the circular economy and its environmental implications. The study investigates the impact of process-induced degradation resulting from multiple reprocessing cycles on specific material properties and aims to establish structure–property relationships. These insights are not only fascinating but also highly relevant for businesses and governments looking to promote sustainable and circular practices. It's inspiring to see how research is contributing to the development of innovative solutions for a more sustainable future!

Where are you on your sustainability journey? Have you heard of #MassBalance? Consumers are increasingly prioritizing sustainability driving some of the polyurethane industry to adopt innovative solutions like the mass balance approach. This certified model enables manufacturers to seamlessly integrate renewable or recycled materials, ensuring high-quality products without compromise.Key Benefits:- Sustainability Without Compromise: Utilize sustainable materials without process modifications.- Incremental Transition: Shift towards sustainability gradually and cost-effectively.- Transparency and Credibility: Third-party certifications ensure proper accounting and content verification. The transition to sustainable alternatives in the plastic industry is a crucial challenge to achieve its net-zero ambition, given its reliance on fossil raw materials. At Dow, we are committed to leading this change expanding the use of renewable and circular raw materials from plastics wastes and biomass through the mass balance. 👀 Watch the video to learn more how we at Dow are pioneers in this approach! 👇 #Sustainability #SeekTogether #DowPolyurethanes

𝗕𝗜𝗢𝗣𝗟𝗔𝗦𝗧𝗜𝗖𝗦: 𝗛𝗬𝗣𝗘 𝗢𝗥 𝗛𝗢𝗣𝗘? Bioplastics are being explored as a solution to the environmental issues caused by traditional plastics. Yet, the question remains: are bioplastics a genuine path to sustainability, or are they just hype? Let's see. Pros: 1. Recyclable and Compostable Bioplastics break down in industrial composting facilities, reducing landfill waste. 2. Made from Renewable Materials Derived from plants, bioplastics are less carbon-intensive and help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. 3. Non-Toxic They decompose without harmful chemicals, benefiting ecosystems. Cons: 1. Costly Production Bioplastics are 2 to 3 times more expensive to produce than traditional plastics. 2. Lack of Recycling Infrastructure Many countries lack facilities to handle bioplastics, potentially leading to landfill disposal. 3. Land Use Issues Production requires significant agricultural land, raising concerns about deforestation and food production. In conclusion, while bioplastics offer environmental advantages, challenges like cost, infrastructure, and land use need to be addressed for them to fulfill their sustainability promise effectively.
