🌟 Fact check by Knack! 🌟 🔍 Did you know that up to 90% of microplastics in the environment can be attributed to tire wear? 🚗💨 It's a startling fact that environmental scientist Karen Smeets has been shedding light on through her research! 🔬 Karen's recent work delves deep into the impact of tire abrasion on our environment, particularly on the proliferation of microplastics. Her findings underscore the urgent need for innovative solutions to mitigate this environmental challenge. 🌍 As we strive for a more sustainable future, Karen's research serves as a crucial reminder of the intricate ways human activities impact our planet. By understanding the sources of microplastic pollution, we can take proactive steps towards reducing our ecological footprint. #EnvironmentalScience #MicroplasticPollution #Sustainability #Research #Innovation

Carbon has been the go-to metric for measuring a company’s environmental footprint for years. However, approaching sustainability from a narrow focus can lead to unintended consequences, such as overlooking the social and ecological impacts of food production. Furthermore, with upcoming regulations coming into play; companies need to start future-proofing their supply chains to comply with laws around deforestation, biodiversity, and water usage. In a webinar HowGood hosted with the Paulig Group and Ingredion Incorporated, we talk about how the future of sustainability requires a shift toward more comprehensive outlook on sustainability, and how companies who adopt a wider range of metrics in their sustainability strategies will see success from both a regulatory and ROI perspective. HowGood's sustainability intelligence platform (Latis) is leading the way, helping companies like Paulig and Ingredion integrate sustainability into their operations in meaningful ways. The future of sustainability requires a holistic approach that goes beyond carbon footprinting to include a broader range of environmental and social metrics. By automating these processes, it’s possible to not only reduce costs but to also ensure you're meeting the growing demands of consumers, investors, and regulators.
