Carbon Minds’ Post

We are pleased to announced the launch of a new sustainability guide ‘Establishing the environmental impact of chemical products‘ produced by our associate member Ricardo plc with the support of the Chemical Industries Association. With the aim to demystify Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) and their role in driving forward sustainability in the chemical sector, this guide will help chemical organisations advance their sustainability journey, drive change and embed sustainability into their operations. For the chemical industry, embracing LCAs represents more than just a nod towards environmental responsibility; it signifies a profound commitment to the green transition. With the world’s eyes increasingly focused on reducing carbon footprints, minimising waste, and conserving resources, the chemical sector has a unique opportunity to lead by example. Have a look, the guide offers practical insights, best practice and industry case studies on LCAs ➡ https://lnkd.in/dmhG5Ex6 Charis McInnes AIEMA | Sam Hinton | Sagardeep Garg | Craig Thomson | Ricardo Chemical Solutions #sustainability #LCA #environment #chemicalindustry

In our Sustainability Report you will be able to learn more about our progress toward our sustainability targets and how we are working towards a more sustainable chemical industry. Read the excerpt below or find the full report here: https://lnkd.in/ee8_XpJe

Mounting pressure from stakeholders requires chemical businesses to have tangible sustainability and environmental, social and governance targets, along with credible business transition plans outlining how those targets will be met. Understanding the commercial pressures our chemical clients are under, Ricardo’s experts keep a firm commercial lens over any sustainability recommendations.

Polycarbin was founded on the hypothesis that circularizing single-use scientific plastics is better for our planet than landfilling, incinerating, and even downcycling. After three years of data collection and multiple third-party analyses, the results are staggering. In celebration of #AmericaRecyclesDay, we are excited to announce the launch of the Carbin Counter™ 4.0, now powered by the TRACI 2.1 environmental impact assessment tool developed by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The latest iteration of our Carbin Counter™ Platform will empower Polycarbin customers with new, environmental KPIs, including—but not limited to: ✅Global Warming Potential  ✅Eutrophication Potential  ✅Acidification Potential ✅Ozone Depletion Potential ✅Human Health Impacts ✅Ecotoxicity #SustainabilityIsScience #EvidenceBasedSustainability #TrueCircularity #CarbinCounter #QuantifyVerify

Scientists are relentless. So is Polycarbin. Get ready to dive deeper into the environmental impacts of #SingleUseScientificPlastics, #PPE, and #NitrileGlove waste streams. We are excited to expand the scope of our environmental KPIs on the Carbin Counter™ Customer Portal to include new #EvidenceBased metrics that will paint a clearer picture of the environmental cost of inaction. What you do matters just as much as how you do it. #MakeScienceMoreSustainable!

Why investors should support the transition to safe and sustainable chemicals? In this article, Rachel Crossley, our Head of Stewardship Europe explains how investors and other actors across the financial sector can bring their influence to bear and help implement the Global Framework For Chemicals. White the Paris Agreement and the Kunning-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework provide a vital overarching policy architecture to address climate change and nature loss, sector-specific responses are also needed to tackle the different ways in which each sector contribute to these risks. A particularly ciritical sector is chemicals, which is why BNP Paribas Asset Management, strongly welcomes the finalisation of the Global Framework For Chemicals.

EPA should be spurring innovation of greener chemicals, rather than stifling them with Significant New Use Rule (SNUR) restrictions even when they have demonstrated benefits over older existing chemicals.
