Seaweed, coconut husks, pea protein, agricultural waste, grasses, bamboo, algae—what do all of these (+ many more) have in common?     They're renewable feedstocks that can be transformed into sustainable materials.     “The great thing is? The technologies are already here — we just have to scale them.” - A great insight from Sway's Julia Marsh at #Circularity24 

Humanity holds many hopes for the future, yet over the past 30 years, innovation in petroleum-based traditional chemicals has stagnated, with few new materials making a significant impact. Nature's brilliance lies in its biological processes, offering three million new molecules and materials awaiting exploration and application. 🌿 From industrial to consumer and medical sectors, bio-based molecules and materials not only offer solutions for traditional industries but also fulfill expectations for a better future in daily life. Bluepha, leveraging biotechnology, paves the way for a new era of sustainable living and environmental stewardship. 🌍 #Bluepha #pha #Sustainability #Biotechnology #Innovation

🌱 We are happy to share the publication of our latest review article titled "Expanding Horizons: Harnessing Dunaliella Microalgae for Sustainable Organic Pigment Production" in the journal of Biomass Conversion and Biorefinery🌿 In this review paper, we explored how Dunaliella species are revolutionizing the production of natural pigments, which have immense applications across industries like food, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. What makes this microalgae even more remarkable is its resilience under extreme conditions and its role in mitigating CO2 emissions. The review highlights: *Bioprocesses involved in producing chlorophylls, carotenes, and xanthophylls from Dunaliella species. *Critical factors such as synthetic media, light regimes and CO2 utilization strategies for enhanced pigment production. *The economic and environmental impact of scaling up these processes for a more sustainable future. We are excited about the potential of this research to contribute to greener, eco-friendly solutions in the pigment industry.

New work for greenCHEM | Chemical Invention Factory 💚 Over the past few months, we FAKE AGENCY GmbH had the privilege of supporting the greenCHEM | Chemical Invention Factory team in strategizing and creating their #newbrand. We are more than proud of this collaboration and say thank you to Martin Rahmel and his team Rahel Marschall Bruno Gomes Guimarães Suvrat Chowdhary 🙏🏽 Currently, the use of the Earth’s material resource basis is not sustainable at all. #greenChem aims to establish an ecosystem of innovation that generates sustainability impact rooted in green chemistry. They envision chemistry practices where #renewable and #nontoxic resources are commonplace, chemical products are integrated into the #circulareconomy, and #biodegradability is prioritized. For all who are curious, take a look here 👉🏽 https://lnkd.in/dTmzwQae #strategy #branding #design #corporateidentity #sustainability #transformation #circulareconomy #renewable Gen Sadakane 🫶🏽🙌🏽🫶🏽

Did you know two-thirds of global fiber production are now synthetic fabrics? Polyester alone has been the most widely produced fiber since the mid-1990s. The problem is these fabrics are fossil fuel-based, shed microplastics, and will never biodegrade. Petrochemical-based fiber production requires 1.3 billion barrels of oil each year – more than Spain’s annual oil consumption. At Bloom Labs, we’re working to bring together powerful innovation with cutting-edge science, pioneering breakthroughs in material science by harnessing the value of natural waste by-products, a protein-rich and globally abundant raw material.

🌱 Harnessing Mycelium: Nature’s Packaging Solution 🍄 Did you know the root structure of mushrooms, known as mycelium, is paving the way for a sustainable packaging revolution? Mycelium fibers grow rapidly, forming a natural "glue" that binds agricultural waste—like hemp, hurd, or corn husks—into any molded shape. Here’s how it works: 1️⃣ Feeding the Fungi: Mycelium feeds on agricultural waste, turning it into a sustainable resource. 2️⃣ Rapid Growth: In just days, mycelium fibers spread throughout the medium, forming a strong, custom shape. 3️⃣ Shape Set: Once the ideal form is achieved, a quick heating process stops growth, locking in its structure. The result? A 100% compostable, Eco-friendly packaging material that protects products while protecting the planet. Let’s embrace this green innovation for a cleaner, zero-waste future! 🌍💚 #MushroomPackaging #EcoFriendly #SustainableFuture #Innovation #CircularEconomy #FDSC808

📢 New Article on #Cyanobacteria and #Bioplastics: "Challenges, Progress, and Future Perspectives for Cyanobacterial #Polyhydroxyalkanoate Production" This updated review covers the yields, production, metabolic pathways, cultivation conditions, recovery methods, utilization of wastewaters, and economic and environmental issues associated with cyanobacterial polyhydroxyalkanoate production. It also addresses the challenges and future needs in the field. The manuscript, predominantly prepared by the remarkable Estel Rueda Hernandez✨ , features contributions from a distinguished group of scientists 👩🔬👨🔬: Eva Gonzalez Flo, Soumila Mondal, Karl Forchhammer, Dulce Maria Arias Lizárraga, Katharina Ludwig, Bernhard Drosg, Ines Fritz, C. Raul Gonzalez-Esquer, and Sara Pacheco. A very interesting piece for all researchers in cyanobacteria and our colleagues from PROMICON project.

Let’s shine a spotlight on some multitalented and versatile organisms: #Fungi. In fact, they offer many opportunities for industry – from sustainable construction to climate-neutral chemistry. In white #biotechnology, which is one of BASF's key technologies, we are also tapping the potential of fungi. See how BASF #researchers are using these hidden champions to drive the transformation towards greater sustainability: https://lnkd.in/eYYUrG5u #CreatingChemistry
