The chemical industry currently relies on fossil fuels and extreme temperature and pressure, leading to high energy consumption, gigatons of CO2 emissions, and dangerous byproducts. Even existing sustainable alternatives are often inefficient. Inspired by nature, Anodyne Chemistries has innovated a new bioelectric manufacturing process, offering a more efficient and sustainable solution than current thermochemical methods.

Anodyne Chemistries was a finalist for the 2022 Ray of Hope Prize, which supports nature-inspired solutions for global environmental challenges. The Ray of Hope Accelerator continues to foster a vibrant global community of innovative, nature-inspired startups. Learn more about Anodyne Chemistries and the Biomimicry Institute.

Plants are essential for life, yet their critical importance is often overlooked. Globally, nearly 16,000 plant species face extinction, with only 11% assessed. In the U.S. alone, over 900 plants

Plants are essential for life, yet their critical importance is often overlooked. Globally, nearly 16,000 plant species face extinction, with only 11% assessed. In the U.S. alone, over 900 plants are endangered, and 70 more await protection.

The Center actively works to protect imperiled plants across the country, from deserts to rainforests and swamps. Join our upcoming webinar to learn about our vital efforts to save endangered plants and discover how you can contribute.

The presentation will feature Hawaii Director Maxx Phillips and Senior Scientist Ileene Anderson. For more on Hawaii's plant extinction crisis, watch this Great Big Story video: https://youtu.be/XFAQeyUfiAc

Cities are vital for advancing the circular economy, unlocking economic, environmental, and social benefits, especially as two-thirds of the global population will live in urban centers by 2050.

Cities are vital for advancing the circular economy, unlocking economic, environmental, and social benefits, especially as two-thirds of the global population will live in urban centers by 2050. Currently, cities face challenges from a "take-make-waste" linear economy. A circular economy offers a critical opportunity to rethink resource use and ensure long-term urban prosperity.

The "Circular Economy in Cities" project focuses on urban systems like buildings, mobility, and products, guiding city governments on implementing circular principles and policies. The Ellen MacArthur Foundation, a UK charity, is a global leader accelerating this transition.

Cities are crucial for advancing the circular economy, unlocking economic, environmental, and social benefits. By 2050, most people will live in cities, which currently consume vast resources, generating significant waste and emissions under a linear "take-make-waste" system. A circular economy offers a vital path to rethink resource use, supporting city priorities and prosperity.

The "Circular Economy in Cities" project explores opportunities in urban systems (buildings, mobility, products), guiding city governments on transition strategies and policy.

Cowspiracy: The Sustainability Secret is a groundbreaking environmental documentary. It follows a filmmaker uncovering the planet's most destructive industry and why leading environmental organizations avoid discussing it. The film was published on June 6, 2014.

Produced by Kip Anderson and Keegan Kuhn, it is an Animals United Movement (A.U.M.) production.

This episode explores how to transition to an economic system that regenerates nature. We feature three companies developing materials that work in harmony with our environment, examining how their innovations can be scaled.

Materiom co-founder Liz Corbin discussed this topic with fellow co-founder Alysia Garmulewicz, Julia Marsh (Sway), and Ehab Sayed (Biohm) at the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s Innovation Day in 2022.

Catheter-associated bloodstream infections (CRBSIs) cause millions of deaths annually due to biofilm. ACatechol (cohort 2023) developed a groundbreaking, bioinspired catheter, inspired by marine organisms, featuring a biofilm-repelling surface. Preclinical studies show over 40% infection reduction, potentially saving 2 million lives yearly and significantly reducing waste.

The Ray of Hope Accelerator (formerly Prize), honoring Ray C. Anderson, champions nature-inspired solutions for global environmental challenges. ACatechol was a 2022 finalist. The Accelerator continues to support nature-inspired startups. Learn more at AskNature.org, visit ACatechol, or explore the Biomimicry Institute.
