Invisible Threat of Microplastics: Results and Solutions from the I-Plastic Project. Original post by Dino Dargo: https://lnkd.in/gVAd4KKD In the vast blue of the oceans and along our coasts there is an invisible but pervasive threat: pollution by microplastics. A recent study, called I-Plastic and supported by the University of Salento, offers us a deeper understanding of this critical environmental problem. The Microplastic Problem: Microplastics, plastic fragments of less than 5 millimeters in size, have proved to be one of the greatest enemies of marine and coastal ecosystems. Their ubiquitous presence represents a growing challenge for biodiversity, human health and water quality. Key Results of the I-Plastic Project: The I-Plastic project, the result of collaboration between European and Brazilian experts, has highlighted some alarming but crucial facts for the fight against microplastic pollution: Estuaries as Storage Points: Estuaries emerge as the main storage areas of these harmful particles, acting as filters that trap microplastics from terrestrial sources. Ubiquity in coastal areas: Microplastic pollution knows no boundaries, infesting estuaries and adjacent coastal areas, regardless of their proximity to urban or industrial centers. Influence of Urban Development: The density of microplastics in these environments is closely linked to the surrounding urban development, suggesting a direct link between human activities and plastic pollution.   Implications and Solutions: The detailed understanding provided by the I-Plastic project not only highlights the urgency to tackle this problem, but also offers a basis for developing effective mitigation strategies: Regulation and Cleaning of Estuaries: Identify estuaries as critical areas for targeted cleaning and regulation of activities that can contribute to plastic pollution. Promotion of Circular Economies: Stimulate the adoption of sustainable practices and circular economies that reduce plastic production and encourage recycling and reuse. Awareness and Education: Expand public awareness efforts on the impact of microplastics and on daily actions that can reduce their spread.   The I-Plastic project provides us with valuable information and tools to combat microplastic pollution. It is clear that only through coordinated and sustained action can we hope to reduce the impact of this invisible threat. As a society, we have a responsibility to protect our precious marine and coastal ecosystems for future generations.

💧𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐋𝐃 𝐖𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐃𝐀𝐘 💧 𝑾𝒐𝒓𝒍𝒅 𝒘𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒅𝒂𝒚 has always been an important moment to reflect on the importance of this vital resource for the survival of every form of life on Earth. Today’s occasion outlines the need to 𝐚𝐝𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬 such as pollution and reduction of water resources, shortage of available resources due to climate change, water scarcity and inequality access to drinking water and hygiene. 𝐑𝐨𝐭𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐜 is aware that we have limited time to reverse our current trends and that sustainable water management is essential to ensure a safe and prosperous future. This will require a global commitment to take care of our heritage, to reduce waste, to improve water efficiency and promote sustainable farming practices For this reason our commitment is dedicated to the production of products that, besides being technologically advanced, are increasingly environmentally friendly.

📕 Excited to be recognized in L'Espresso Magazine.    We'd like to thank Emanuela Cavallo for her article titled 'La startup che studia come sciogliere la CO2 nell’acqua', in which she eloquently highlights the pressing issue of excessive carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in the atmosphere, a key driver of global warming and climate change, bringing it to the attention of the wider public.   As she pointed out, our solution in Limenet is to remove and store carbon dioxide inspired by the way the oceans act as #natural #carbon #reservoirs. However, the amount of CO2 released into the atmosphere exceeds the ability of the oceans to absorb it effectively. Therefore, it is necessary to #industrialize and #accelerate the natural process of the "geological carbon cycle".    Here you can read the full article with the words of our CEO, Stefano Cappello: https://lnkd.in/efybqeK6     #ClimateChange #Limenet #Innovation #CDR    Giovanni Cappello Enrico Noseda Sandro Carniel Piero Macchi Guido Raos Francesco Campo Mario Grosso Arianna Azzellino Daniela Basso Federico Benini 

Renewable energy and no landfills: here's how a pearl of the Aegean Sea has effectively embraced the 360-degree circular economy

According to a study commissioned by MAG (Airports Group), the manager of #Manchester and London #Stansted and #EastMidlands airports, the #UnitedKingdom risks missing an important opportunity to reduce its #carbonfootprint by continuing to incinerate household waste, instead of using them to produce #sustainableaviationfuel (#SAF). According to transport sustainability experts ICF, every year around 8.5 million tonnes of household waste are burned to produce electricity when the items cannot be recycled or reused. Another 7.3 million tons are burned without any #energyrecovery. https://lnkd.in/d45JKW2b Manchester Airport London Stansted Airport #manchesterairport #stanstedairport #airport #fuel #sustainableaviation #waste #wetravelbiz Wetravel.biz #wetravelaviation Wetravelaviation

Thinking about our future, #climatechange is a topic that really scares me. Last year, the IPCC reported the urgent need for immediate action, while last week the Met Office painted an even scarier situation than the worse IPCC scenario, based on the latest CO2 measurements (both reports are linked in the comments). While most of the largest countries and banks are still financing the fossil fuels industry and the defense/military industry with around $10 trillion per year, I believe everyone can at least try to do something on his side. That's why, on a corporate level, I am proud to announce that Growens is named among this year's "Aziende più attente al clima" (climate-mindful companies) by Statista and Corriere della Sera. It's a tangible recognition of our commitment to weigh less on our planet - something that hasn't entailed any industrial plan overhaul for us so far, but a series of thoughtful actions meant to have an actual impact, be it big or small. A few examples of such actions: 🌱 We offset all Scope I (office) emissions 🌱 We plant a tree for every customer that subscribes to our Business Units' services 🌱 We offset all carbon emissions generated by traffic on our websites 🌱 We incentivize electric cars and green mobility for our employees 🌱 Last but not least, since 2019 we have voluntarily released a comprehensive Sustainability Report that adds to our accountability and transparency We have also recently enriched our Sustainability website section to ensure more clarity and details on our commitment to the environment, to the people and to ethical business - https://lnkd.in/dpTJckhv https://lnkd.in/dttUe4y8

In conversation with Corriere della Sera, Ambienta Founder and Managing Partner Nino Tronchetti Provera shared why the imbalance between the #planet's finite #resources and the needs of a growing population present an opportunity for #investing in #environmental champions - #companies with #business models geared towards using resources more efficiently while polluting less. 💡 Did you know? By 2050 the world will need: 20% more #water 110% more #electricty 40% more #food ...and will be generating: 90% more #plastic 70% more #waste 95% more #clothing Read the full article for an insight into how Ambienta has been successfully identifying #environmental #champions for nearly two decades. #sustainability #investing #privateequity #alternativeinvestments

The acronym ESG refers to three main areas, namely Environmental (environment), Social (society) and Governance. Each pillar refers to a specific set of criteria such as environmental commitment, adherence to corporate values, and whether or not a company acts accurately and transparently.
