At Green Rose, our job is to gather insight and transfer it between sectors. Help yourself to free knowledge and perspectives from our network of experts, covering everything from bioeconomy basics to the details of sustainability metrics—and some weird science, just for fun.
The bioeconomy is booming, with every industry adopting biobased solutions to meet consumer demand and stay ahead of competitors. Read about biobased feedstocks, cradle-to-cradle innovation, and latest developments in the UK bioeconomy.
Do you feel ready to bring your biobased products to market? Are you giving your products the best chance of survival?
Research funded by the European Commission (EC) could give you the edge you need. The 2019 report analyses 15 successful biobased products, identifying the drivers for biobased success.
Read moreThe green industrial revolution is happening right now. Governments, companies, and universities are all moving in the same direction. The UK government has made it clear that after the COVID-19 pandemic, their intention is to ‘build back greener’ and urgently pivot toward a green economy.
Read moreConsumers are increasingly informed and concerned about the impact products have on the environment. Brands are recognising this en masse and are pivoting their value chain toward a more sustainable biobased approach. The resulting demand for biobased products has brought forth a slew of new and innovative biobased products, some direct replacements for their petrochemical equivalents, and some considerably stranger.
Read moreIt’s a growing field with lots of possibilities. Learn more about the science behind green chemistry, recent developments, and trends in the industry.
PFAS, nicknamed “forever chemicals”, have been hitting headlines recently. The UK HSE has published a report identifying how to tackle them. This is what you need to know about it.
Read moreReducing the impact of non-renewable and harmful chemicals should be the highest priority in any manufacturing process to protect ourselves and our planet’s future. Replacing petrochemical solvents is important due to their prevalence in manufacturing. We’ve looked at the concerns and alternative options for a widely used solvent, isopropanol.
Read moreWith PVC in the news again for its hazards as well as manufacturing practices, it’s time to focus on alternatives. Are there safer options that we can use instead of PVC?
Read moreSolvents are frequently an afterthought in chemical research, but they are crucial in manufacturing almost every product on the market today. Discover solvent science, intelligent solvent replacement, and green solvents for industrial applications.
Reducing the impact of non-renewable and harmful chemicals should be the highest priority in any manufacturing process to protect ourselves and our planet’s future. Replacing petrochemical solvents is important due to their prevalence in manufacturing. We’ve looked at the concerns and alternative options for a widely used solvent, isopropanol.
Read moreAs the bioeconomy picks up steam and the chemical industry transitions to renewable feedstocks, production of biobased solvents is an increasingly important goal. ABE fermentation uses specialised bacteria to produce the popular solvents acetone, butanol, and ethanol from biomass.
Read moreRecently, we’ve started to question whether we can use solvents more sustainably. Many common solvents are hazardous petrochemicals, creating a big environmental footprint problem as well as putting workers at risk. So what can we do? Are there green alternatives to hazardous solvents?
Read moreEveryone agrees that sustainability is important, but it’s much harder to find agreement on how to measure it. Learn from experts about sustainability metrics, getting the right data, and how to avoid greenwashing.
When you’re developing sustainable chemical products, choosing the right ecolabel can be an important part of the marketing process. To help you navigate your options, here is all you need to know about the EU Ecolabel.
Read moreLCA puts a number on how environmentally friendly a product is throughout its entire life cycle. It can also apply to processes, services, and even companies. LCA targets…
Read moreCosmetics labelling regulations are confusing. We’ve put together this short guide to smooth the way and help you figure out what labels to put on your new beauty product.
Read moreWe’re experts in green chemistry, but first and foremost we are scientists—which means we love weird stuff. Get curious with us and read about when scientists get weird, featuring our favourite examples of rigorous research answering questions that never entered your mind.
Did you know that bees can perceive time? Not even just simply tracking the Sun. Actual time measurements.
Read moreThe internet has been abuzz for years with facts about wombats – they can run at up to 25 miles per hour, take two weeks to digest a meal, and have frighteningly tough bums. Perhaps the most beloved wombat fact is that they poo in cubes.
