Gina McCarthy, former EPA Administrator and White House National Climate Advisor, has joined UBQ Materials’ International Advisory Board. McCarthy’s experience and expertise will be instrumental in driving the adoption of UBQ’s innovative technology, which transforms household waste into a sustainable, climate-positive material, replacing fossil fuel-based plastics in various industries.
In response to the new Scope 3 emission regulations, businesses are seeking innovative solutions to lower their carbon footprint. ErthCycle, a leading provider of sustainable packaging, offers a vital answer with its plastic alternatives that significantly reduce environmental impact. ErthCycle products consume 25% fewer fossil fuels and biodegrade at a rate of 76.7% in simulated landfill conditions over 695 days, providing transparency and accountability while meeting the demands of investors and stakeholders.
Plastic has become ubiquitous in our world, from our clothes to our electronics. However, this convenience comes at a cost. Plastic is a major source of pollution and can also harm our health. The End Plastics Initiative is working to reduce our dependence on plastic by 60% over the next 16 years. This will require phasing out single-use plastics and investing in reusable alternatives. While there is no single technology that can replace all plastics, there are a number of promising alternatives, such as mycelium and hemp. Individuals can also reduce their plastic consumption by using reusable water bottles, food containers, and shopping bags.
