Ortho Masterclass
Sustainability has not only been a central value to Ortho throughout our history, but it is rapidly becoming a defining issue of the age. In the coming years, its impact will be increasingly felt in healthcare. From the implications of legislation to the growing number of environmentally-conscious investors, this is a topic which is set to shape the future direction of hospitals, labs and blood banks. We are therefore delighted to welcome Professor Damien Gruson and Dr. Alistair Gammie, members of the Division on Emerging Technologies of IFCC, to deliver this Ortho Clinical Diagnostics Masterclass webinar. Their analysis of this fascinating and critical subject will cover regulations, clinical considerations, action plans, change management, and the economics of laboratory sustainability.
Business giants making ‘promising’ progress in tackling plastic waste
Over the last 12 months, some of the world’s biggest businesses have made “promising” progress in efforts to eliminate single-use plastics and transition to a circular economy, according to a new report which revealed that pledges to increase recycled plastic in packaging have grown five-fold.
The report found that 60% of business’ plastic packaging is now reusable, recyclable or compostable today
The Ellen MacArthur Foundation has today (24 October) issued a progress report one year after the launch of the New Plastics Economy Global Commitment. Through the commitment, more than 400 organisations have committed to eliminating unnecessary plastic packaging and ensuring that all plastic packaging is 100% reusable, recyclable, or compostable.
The new report details the transparency provided by almost 200 businesses and governments on how they are creating a circular economy for plastics.

Teco 2030 Cooperates With Chart Industries To Develop Marine Carbon Capture And Storage Solutions
TECO 2030 ASA has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Chart Industries, Inc. to jointly develop technological solutions that will capture carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted by ships and subsequently store it in liquid form. “When the new CO2 capture integration that we are collaborating with Chart Industries, Inc. and Sustainable Energy Solutions (SES) on is ready, it will enable ships to capture and store the CO2 that they would otherwise have emitted into the air, and which would thereby have contributed to climate change,” says Stian Aakre, CEO of TECO 2030 AS.
Biomass sustainability
The critical difference between biomass fuels and fossil fuel, is that of fossil and contemporary carbon. Burning fossil fuels results in converting stable carbon sequestered millions of years ago into atmospheric carbon dioxide (when the global environment has adapted to current levels). Burning biomass fuels however, returns to the atmosphere contemporary carbon recently taken up by the growing plant, and currently being taken up by replacement growth. If wood fuel is sourced from well managed woodlands, then carbon released from the wood during combustion will be removed from the atmosphere as the remaining trees and seedlings photosynthesize.
