Our Specialties

Sustainable Materials Development
We differentiate and elevate your products with material solutions that leave a minimal environmental footprint. Our team works closely with you to identify and develop materials that can enhance sustainability without compromising performance. In our lab, we combine and apply knowledge and methods in chemistry, chemical engineering, and materials science to advance research and development towards meeting your needs and requirements.

Waste-to-Resource Solutions
We help you identify viable options for reducing waste and turning it into valuable resources. Our team conducts techno-economic and environmental impact analyses of potential waste-to-resource solutions to inform decision-making and action. We carry out experimental and analytical studies to evaluate the feasibility and demonstrate the proof of concept for the identified paths of waste reduction and resource utilization.

Life Cycle Assessment
We empower your improvement process, reporting and comparative claims by providing data on the environmental impacts of your products, processes and services over their entire lifetime. Our life cycle assessment (LCA) is conducted in compliance with ISO standards, and we assist you in gathering 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 the environmental impact of your business.

Biodegradation Analysis
We drive your quest for the right biodegradable material or your efforts in developing innovative compostable products by characterizing material 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 your decisions and helps you optimize your material 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 natural resources are key principles that inform our 5R strategy, and our pursuit of innovative solutions.
