Bio-based materials and process innovation can provide alternatives to the materials responsible for the worrying prevalence of microplastics in our bodies, our food, and our pets. Vireo is supporting the commercialization of safer and more sustainable products and processes.

As we recognize our collective responsibility to protect and preserve our planet, Vireo continues to address our carbon footprint. We have offset our 2023 CO2 emissions from essential business travel and home office energy use by supporting the Big Smile Wind Farm at Dempsey Ridge.

As Earth Day dawns, we are reminded of the profound significance of our planet's health and the imperative to safeguard it for future generations. Our commitment to enabling a safer and more sustainable economy is unwavering.

Biomineralization can provide a route for sustainably protecting marine concrete: an example of a possible biobased solution for serious commercial challenge that aligns with Vireo’s mission to move our world towards a safer and more sustainable future.

The European Parliament has overwhelmingly approved a new directive that will require sustainability claims to be backed by third-party verification and restricts the use of ecolabels in European member states to those based on official certification schemes and scientific evidence.
