Life Cycle Assessment: a vital tool in driving sustainable innovation
As industries face increasing pressure to reduce their environmental footprint, LCA provides a comprehensive approach to evaluate the environmental impacts of products. By assessing everything from raw material extraction to production, use, and disposal, LCA enables companies to make more informed, sustainable decisions, optimize processes, and enhance product design. In this session, we’ll discuss how […]
Adaptive Experimental Design of Formulated Products
Developing high-performance chemical formulations requires the navigation of a complex landscape of compositional, processing, and application-specific trade-offs. Meeting the urgent demands of sustainability and net-zero goals adds further challenges. Adaptive Experimental Design (AED) is a new machine learning-driven paradigm that extracts maximum value from data to iteratively optimize formulations and processes, significantly accelerating the development […]
