The Vireo Advisors blog brings you the latest news and developments in safe, sustainable and bio-based materials and products including novel foods and sustainable nanomaterials.
What is Biobased?
Among the many terms used to imply the sustainability of products, the term ‘biobased’ has real meaning.
Addressing our Carbon Footprint
Vireo Advisors is serious about addressing our carbon footprint. We have offset our 2022 carbon emissions from essential business travel and home office energy use by helping finance two projects with Native carbon offsets.
Novel Foods, Commercialization and Regulatory Roundup
Our latest roundup includes regulatory news, company announcements, and notable publications for novel foods, including cultured meat and seafood and ingredients made using new production systems such as precision fermentation.
Happy National Nanotechnology Day!
Today, Vireo Advisors is joining the NNI and nanotechnology-related organizations around the US in celebrating the 20th anniversary of the 21st Century Nanotechnology Research and Development Act.
A Nano Nobel
The 2023 Nobel Prize in Chemistry shines a light on the extraordinary properties of nanoscale materials, but the story of quantum dots commercialization is far from over. Work on ‘safer-by-design’ approaches, including Vireo's first Life Cycle Risk Assessment for quantum dots, and our current work on graphene oxide with European partners of the DIAGONAL project aims towards new generations of highly fluorescent nanoparticles and remarkable new products.
