We’re ‘green chemists’ – why we think this emerging science can transform the way the world uses its resources | The-14

Green chemistry transforms industry by redesigning materials, turning waste and CO₂ into useful products for a sustainable, low-carbon circular economy.

💧 Activated carbon is failing to stop ultra-short-chain PFAS from entering our water.

In the newest episode of Innovate and React, I chat with Dr. Rhea Machado about Porelio’s breakthrough solution: engineered meso-porous silica. By creating a nanoscale "chemical Autobahn" with targeted functional groups, they can selectively trap these stubborn forever chemicals.
