This document summarizes a student project to produce bioplastic from potato starch. It includes the objectives to understand biodegradable materials from potato starch extraction as substitutes for bioplastics. The methods describe extracting potato starch then mixing it with water, hydrochloric acid, glycerol and heating to produce bioplastic in different colors. Results found the bioplastic degraded fully after being buried for 1-3 days, showing it is biodegradable. Factors like material structure and soil conditions may affect results. The bioplastic was brittle but demonstrated biodegradability.
These slides use concepts from my (Jeff Funk) course entitled Technology Management Strategy to analyze the business model for Ecovative’s mushroom material. This material can bind various agricultural wastes together and thus enable the production of various products from agricultural waste using inexpensive molds. Corn stalks and other materials can be procured locally and formed into packaging and other products that can replace Styrofoam and other non-renewable and non-decomposing materials. Thus, this Ecovative’s mushroom materials can reduce a manufacturer’s carbon and trash footprints. Ecovative is licensing its technology to other firms so that these firms can manufacture the packaging from locally available agricultural waste. these
Firefly's revolutionary battery technology originated from research at Caterpillar to improve battery performance for heavy equipment. The technology replaces most of the lead in traditional batteries with a porous foam material called Microcell. This new 3D structure results in batteries with much higher energy density, power, cycle life, and charge rates compared to traditional lead-acid batteries. Firefly batteries can provide similar performance to advanced battery technologies like lithium-ion, but at a much lower cost similar to lead-acid batteries.
Plastic has brought immense benefits to the whole human race. The light weight, cheap chemical resistant and strong material has got almost omnipotent presence. When we talk of its strength we talk of the time till it survives and to everyone’s knowledge plastic does not bio-degrade. Yes, plastic the greatest invention of mankind has the power to even destroy mankind. Plastic that is not biodegradable brings a lot of environmental issues. It deteriorates the ozone layer. For the most part plastic is produced from oil. The world is progressively running out of oil. Research says plastic brings number of harms not only to humans but also the entire cosmos. The plastic which cannot be recycled has to be disposed off in some or the other way. Let’s say if we dispose in water it has the tendency to destroy marine life. So the only way left to reduce the ill effects of plastic is to use eco-friendly or biodegradable plastic. Biodegradable plastics are plastics that will decay in usual aerobic environments.

Widespread infectious disease, air and water pollution, energy poverty, and high unemployment are growing problems in many developing nations. These have become delicate issues for humanitarian organizations like the UN, OECD, WHO, and World Bank. Most of these developing countries have been struggling to meet the Millennium Development Goals. However, many of these problems can be linked together and solved with a new class of waste-to-energy (W2E) systems. Waste has become an uncontrollable problem in many developing countries and in Latin America. Nearly 100 percent of waste in low-income countries goes to landfills. However, a W2E system can reduce waste and generate electricity at the same time. The actual gasification and pyrolysis technologies used in waste to energy conversion are nothing new as it was widely used in Europe during WWII, but now several companies are packing the system in a convenient shipping container size. This means it can be deployed throughout the world quickly and efficiently, over both land and sea. These new W2E systems obviate the technological barriers to building a W2E facility in a developing country. And, the system can significantly improve both rural and urban communities in the following ways: 1. Improve health and sanitation The W2E systems use almost any organic waste as the fuel. This includes paper, plastics, used tires, spoiled food, and dry manure. Thus, it cuts down on the size of landfills and there is an incentive to collect waste together rather than littering along the roads. By cleaning up the streets and reducing landfill sizes, you have also eliminated the breeding grounds for many infectious diseases. Agricultural by-products such as saw mill waste, nut shells, sugar and rice bagasse, corn stoves, cassava peels, and sorghum. Many of these potential fuels are currently either left to rot or are disposed of by burning in the field, emitting dangerous plumes of greenhouse gasses and pollutants. 2. Improve local economy The W2E system does not require in depth technical knowledge to operate, but it still needs a workforce to maintain it. It will also create jobs for waste collection and sorting. . And, not only does the system create jobs, it creates sources of revenue for the entire community. The electricity can be sold; and depending on the W2E technology and feedstock, the end byproduct can be sold as well. In many cases the W2E system will displace a diesel powered generator, and even in an oil producing nation such as Nigeria, the return on investment can be 12 months or less based solely on fuel savings. 3. Increase productivity and raise living standards The W2E system will be able to provide rural communities with electricity and or heat. Electricity can extend working hours and productivity. Access to electricity has been closely linked to higher levels of education, lower levels of poverty, and reduced gender inequality in developing nations.

This document provides an overview of environmental and sustainability issues facing the construction industry, including their effects on the environment, good site practices around airtightness, waste management, and carbon management. It also discusses certifications like ISO 14000 and how Construction Futures Wales can help companies through consultancy, courses, and applying for support. The key topics covered are airtightness, waste reduction, building as designed, and increasing environmental awareness on construction sites.
This document discusses sustainable construction. It outlines how the BRE Environmental Assessment Method provides a comprehensive way to measure and monitor environmental performance in construction. It considers economic, environmental and social sustainability. The challenges of improving older housing stocks are also discussed, as well as opportunities in new homes to build with minimal environmental impact. Various policies and initiatives to promote sustainability are mentioned, including building regulations and the Code for Sustainable Homes. Specific sustainable construction materials and techniques are also outlined.
Our interlocking green building blocks offer R40 insulation, resistance to mold and pests, load-bearing strength against 350-mph winds, one-hour-plus fire protection, and 3x the earthquake resilience of concrete. Replaces entire wall systems with a longer-lasting green alternative. Absorbs more CO2 than a forest and continues absorbing CO2 for a century.
The document discusses progress in sustainable investing in 2012, noting growth in areas like clean energy and carbon markets. It outlines some risks and challenges, but also opportunities in sectors such as biomass, agriculture, electric vehicles, and specific green companies. Overall the tone is optimistic about the potential for capitalism to reinvent itself and help address climate change through further investment in these areas.
This document discusses opportunities for utilizing biomass waste from forests, farms, and cities to develop a bio-based circular economy. It begins with an overview of dwindling fossil fuel resources and the need to transition to renewable biomass. The document then examines various biomass waste streams available from forests, farms, and municipalities. It outlines the potential of these waste streams to produce bioenergy, bioproducts like bioplastics, biochemicals, and biomaterials. The document envisions how fully utilizing biomass waste could support new industries and economic development in a sustainable way.
This document discusses the design and environmental performance of the iCon building in Daventry. It was designed to have an extremely low carbon footprint of 12.2kgCO2/m2 per year, well below typical office buildings. This was achieved through passive ventilation, super insulation, an exhaust air heat pump for heat recovery, and daylight-linked lighting controls. The building is monitored to learn from its performance. The document argues that exemplar green buildings can reduce carbon emissions cost-effectively, and dispels myths that low-carbon designs are too expensive.
Global warming concerns leading to decarbonization is shifting energy from fossil fuels to renewable energy. The slides briefly touch on different ways of decarbonizing & alternative energy resources.
Path-dependency and path-making in the energy system in the Spanish Tile Sector.Daniel Gabadón-Estevan
Conference: Path-dependency and path-making in the energy system in the Spanish Tile Sector. Gabaldón-Estevan, D., Monfort-Gimeno, E., Mezquita-Martí, A. and Vaquer-Cañete, E.; Second Aalto Event on Science and Technology Studies. Helsinki, (Finland) 5-6 November 2012.
The study by the University of Michigan examined the impact of masonry ordinances in four suburban Chicago communities from 1990 to present. It found that communities with masonry ordinances (Orland Park and Tinley Park) had higher property values, larger tax bases, continued population growth, and similar housing affordability compared to those without such ordinances (Hoffman Estates and Streamwood). The adoption of masonry ordinances appeared to enhance community sustainability through increased property values, tax revenue, and quality of growth over time.
Circular Hotspot COP24 Side-Event: Circular Economy - The missing link in the...Diana de Graaf
There is growing awareness that the Circular Economy is a missing link in the Paris agenda and that it is urgent to strengthen the link between Circular Economy and the Climate Change Agenda. A circular economy aims to decouple economic growth from the use of natural resources and ecosystems by using those resources more effectively. During the COP24 climate summit in Katowice in December 2018, a coalition of European circular hotspots presented evidence and best practices of the circular economy as a means to bridge the gap in the climate agenda and identified where there is potential for scaling up.
Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.
Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...Joshua Orris
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.
Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.
Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...Joshua Orris
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.
2. Climate Change and ESG is
finally top of mind
Many Investors and companies are being measured on ESG
(Environmental, Social and Governance) values. JustBioFiber can
source local, use much less energy per sq. ft., sequester potentially
millions of tons of CO2 and is community and socially beneficial that
greatly enhances your ESG scorecard.
Cement and other heavy building materials are not sustainable.
Environmental risk is relevant for cement producers and other heavy
building material companies, given they typically crush and move
raw materials to produce their end-products, which often requires a
substantial use of fuel, and frequently results in greenhouse gas
(GHG) emissions, waste, and pollution.
Cement, steel, ammonia, and ethylene companies account for about
half of total CO2 emissions in the industrial sector. For example, by
intensifying the use of alternative raw materials to reduce the
amount of clinker necessary (clinker being a precursor to powder
cement; producing clinker accounts for most of the energy used
during cement production).

10. Re-valuing real estate: investing in the eye of the hurricane – Now is the time!
Confidential and Proprietary
Wildfires, storms, floods, droughts, heat
waves…. Just as real estate investors
and managers begin to grapple with
what climate change might do to their
assets physically, now they may also
have to contend with accelerating
regulation. Location matters in real
estate, and vast portions of the global
property stock are in cities and regions
marching towards zero-carbon building
standards.
In 2020, greening the property portfolio
will move from a nice-to-have reputation
booster to an imperative in the face of a
looming "brown discount" if real estate
investors don’t kickstart their journey to
zero carbon.
