Plastics: lifesaver turned environmental threat

Image
  Before it threatened biodiversity, the oceans and the global food chain , plastics saved lives and transformed societies as a durable, malleable and cheap material. From the 1950s, plastics enjoyed a positive image "in all areas of life", according to the Plastic Atlas from the Heinrich Boell Foundation. But with plastic now an integral part of daily life and global production exploding, concerns abound about its impact on the health of the planet—and ourselves. ๐Ÿ”— Visit:  environmentalscientists.org Nomination:  Nominate Now #PlasticPollution #EnvironmentalImpact #PlasticWaste #SustainableFuture #EcoAwareness #ClimateAction #ZeroWaste #ReducePlas environmentalscientists.org

Environmental goals at Biotage

Image
Biotage environmental goals cover the whole company, from new product development to manufacturing, ensuring sustainability lies at the heart of each decision and that full consideration is given to how that product affects the environment. The product life cycle of each product is also an important aspect, as it affects how much waste and emissions are generated over time. By offering product upgrades, we increase the lifetime of a product and hence reduce lifetime wastage. We also constantly looking at reducing waste in our manufacturing processes alongside reducing the use of environmentally hazardous substances. Similarly, we constantly strive to increase our efficient use of both water and electricity whilst recycling as much as possible - from our manufacturing sites and office locations around the globe. We also cooperate in Life Science networks within the community, where we contribute and support others to find new solutions to reduce our joint environmental impact. Our ambit...
