"One last thing to point out: If you compare the emissions of the two shoes on a part-by-part basis, the analysis suggests that the emissions for 3D printing are actually 10 percent to 17 percent higher. 'Only when a complete assembly of the shoe is taken into account does the overall carbon efficiency of 3D printing stand out,' according to the analysis."

"The journey towards more compostable packaging has been a long one for Frito-Lay, who has been working on integrating these sorts of products for more than a decade. As far back as 2019, both Coke and Pepsi had already cut ties with a plastics industry association, and issued previous goals related to recyclable, compostable and reusable packaging."

James Murray of GreenBiz reports on Bridgestone’s release of its new tire which is made with 75% recycled and renewable materials. “The tire is the first street tire to be made using rubber derived from the guayule plant, the subject of a $100 million R&D program from Bridgestone over the past decade. The company said the plant...

"Secondarily, we should not be closing doors on alternative energy storage solutions. Lithium batteries are a major part of moving sustainable energy forward, but they are not the only way to get there. Investors and policymakers should look seriously at new players and emerging technologies, and do as much as possible to foster new talent and startups in this area."

Alan Ohnsman of Forbes reports on a startup that is lowering ocean acidity and creating green hydrogen. “This approach was sketched out in a paper Sant and other UCLA scientists published in 2021 on what they call ‘single-step carbon sequestration and storage.’ It envisions future plants that would be large electrochemical reactors, with lots of tanks, plumbing...

"SMRs promise data centers what they’re looking for: a reliable, low-cost, carbon-free energy source that yields round-the-clock uptime. Data centers of all sorts (hyperscale, colocation, or telecom) can use SMRs to secure the energy independence they need to overcome bottlenecks in the grid and to avoid competition for energy with local communities."
