Our Services & Specialties

5R Assessment & Integration
We take a deep dive into your portfolio and assess its current circularity level using our 5R strategy: refuse, reduce, reuse, remanufacture and recycle. Next, we define your immediate and strategic goals, and create an action plan to boost the environmental performance of your business. Drawing upon our expertise in materials science, environmental impact assessment, and operations management, we can then assist you in implementing this action plan, helping you position for success in the rapidly changing landscapes of design, production, and service delivery.

Sustainable Material Development
We elevate your products with solutions that leave a minimal environmental footprint. Our team works closely with you to develop materials that enhance sustainability, without compromising performance. In our lab, we apply methods from chemistry, chemical engineering, and materials science to drive innovation in polymers and biomaterials, all with the goal of meeting your business needs.

Waste-to-Resource Solutions
We help you identify viable options for not only reducing waste, but turning it into a valuable resource. Our team conducts techno-economic and environmental impact analyses of your potential waste-to-resource solutions to inform decision-making. From there, we carry out experimental and analytical studies to determine feasibility and demonstrate proof of concept for different paths to waste reduction.

Life Cycle Assessment
We empower your improvement process by providing data on the lifetime environmental impacts of your products, processes, and services. Our unique life cycle assessment (LCA) is conducted in compliance with ISO standards, and we help you gather key information for the LCA model with our streamlined data collection system. Powered by highly trusted product sustainability software, our LCA delivers comprehensive reports that unlock valuable insights into your business.

Biodegradation Analysis
We drive your quest for the right biodegradable material by testing its degradation in various environments. Our lab conducts aerobic biodegradation and compostability testing according to ASTM and ISO standards. With our expertise and state-of-the-art facilities, we provide reliable data that informs decisions on materials, and assists you in optimizing formulations.

Circular Economy
To achieve significant reductions in emissions, we must transition from the traditional take-make-dispose economic model to a circular economy that rethinks materials, designs, and operations to retain as much value as possible from products, parts, and resources. In this circular economy, extending product lifespan, reducing the waste at the design stage, recovering and reintroducing products into the supply chain, and expanding our reliance on sustainable materials are key principles that inform the 5R strategy in our circular economy consulting services.
