Among the many terms used to imply the sustainability of products, the term ‘biobased’ has real meaning.

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.

We take pride in our diverse and inclusive workforce, with employees from different nationalities, ages, and gender identities. We benefit from a rich tapestry of perspectives, resulting in enhanced decision-making and innovation.

The last few weeks have seen a number of announcements related to nano and sustainable materials testing, regulation and commercialization. These are some of the top stories that caught our eyes:

At Vireo, we keep close surveillance on commercialization and regulatory developments in cultured and alt-protein meat and seafood, and we have rarely seen as much activity as this! Here is our roundup of the latest developments…
