Bill Gates-Backed Startup is First to Unlock Scalable Carbon Storage LINK 

• Engineers at Graphyte, a Bill Gates-backed startup have developed innovative bricks that can store carbon dioxide for potentially thousands of years

• The bricks are made from wood chips and rice hulls using a simple process that builds on natural plant decay.

• The cost is around $100 per ton, much cheaper than typical carbon capture methods which cost $600-$1,200 per ton

Burger King Testing New Sulpac Biomaterial In A Push Towards A Circular Economy LINK 

• Burger King is testing new restaurant designs to enhance sustainability and improve the customer experience.

• The new designs feature solar panels, electric vehicle charging stations, and more efficient kitchen layouts to reduce energy consumption.

• This initiative aims to align with environmental goals while offering a modern, eco-friendly dining experience.

Plastic-Eating Sea Fungus Might Save Our Oceans Forever LINK

• International researchers have discovered a sea fungus capable of breaking down and consuming plastic waste.

• The fungus can degrade common plastics like polyester polyurethane, offering a natural solution to reducing ocean pollution.

• This discovery has significant potential for environmental cleanup efforts and addressing the global plastic waste crisis.

UK Startup's Creates Feather-Based Packaging For Temperature Sensitive Goods LINK

• A UK start-up has secured funding to scale up production of feather-based packaging materials, which are sustainable and biodegradable.

• These innovative packaging materials utilize discarded chicken feathers, offering an eco-friendly alternative to conventional plastic packaging.

• The funding will help the company expand its operations and meet the growing demand for sustainable packaging solutions.

Endless Energy with Negative Carbon Emissions LINK

• Scientists have discovered a new power source that generates energy while achieving negative carbon emissions by capturing more CO2 than it emits.

• This breakthrough involves using bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) technology, which converts organic materials into energy and stores the captured carbon.

• The innovation offers a promising solution to reduce atmospheric CO2 levels and combat climate change while providing sustainable energy.
