Project Spotlight
Comparing Environmental Impact of a Novel Seafood Alternative
The Challenge: A food company developing a plant-based seafood alternative needed to understand how their product's environmental footprint compared to conventional farmed fish to support their sustainability claims.What We Did: Conducted a cradle-to-grave LCA comparing emissions, water use, and other environmental impacts across both products.The Outcome: An ISO-compliant report identifying high-impact areas and recommendations for reducing the product's footprint.
Quantifying Circularity for a Reusable Industrial Product
The Challenge: A company producing reusable industrial products from post-consumer recycled plastics wanted to quantify the environmental benefits of their circular business model versus the single-use alternative.What We Did: Developed circularity impact estimates including avoided GHG emissions, water use, and waste to landfill over the product's lifetime.The Outcome: Data-backed impact metrics the company can use to demonstrate value to clients and investors.
Techno-Economic Study for Upcycling Production Residues
The Challenge: A biotech company extracting high-value compounds from biomass wanted to evaluate whether additional fractions from their process could be commercialized and turned into new revenue streams.What We Did: Conducted a techno-economic feasibility study covering technical viability, market opportunities, CapEx/OpEx estimates, and risk assessment.The Outcome: A roadmap identifying the best market opportunities and investment priorities.
Developing Bio-based Coatings for Food-Contact Paper
The Challenge: A manufacturer of a bio-based polymer wanted to support its marketing and business development efforts with product application demonstrations.What We Did: Developed and tested biopolymer coating formulations, evaluating grease resistance, water absorption, and mechanical properties.The Outcome: Validated application data and performance results the company can use in customer conversations and sales materials.
Biodegradation and Durability Testing of a Natural Fiber Product
The Challenge: A company producing reusable products from natural plant fibers needed quantitative data on biodegradation and durability to support their sustainability marketing claims.What We Did: Conducted compostability and soil biodegradation testing following ASTM and ISO standards, along with strength testing to evaluate durability over repeated use.The Outcome: Credible, standards-based data the company can use to back up environmental claims and build customer trust.
Sustainability Training for a National Procurement Organization
The Challenge: A major healthcare procurement organization wanted to educate their employees on sustainability fundamentals and train their sourcing teams on sustainable procurement practices.What We Did: Designed and delivered two tailored seminars covering ESG frameworks, GHG emissions, sustainable procurement principles, and practical tools for evaluating suppliers.The Outcome: Organization-wide sustainability literacy and procurement teams equipped to integrate environmental criteria into sourcing decisions.
