Molten salt reactors (MSRs) may play a key role in future nuclear energy systems by offering major advantages in safety and efficiency. Advanced research, technology development and licensing in several countries can potentially make near-term deployment of this innovative technology possible.
On May 25, delegates of the EU-27 in the EU Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed (SCOPAFF) backed draft regulation aimed at setting EU baseline standards for the validation of insect frass as fertilizer, as part of the EU legislation on animal by-products. The regulation harmonizing the standards for insect frass in the EU will play a pivotal role in bolstering the competitiveness and overall growth of the sector, while enhancing its circularity potential and contributing to generating complementary revenues for insect producers, said EU trade group, the International Platform of Insects for Food and Feed (IPIFF). “We expect the standards to enter into force towards the end of this year,” said Constantin Muraru, spokesperson for IPIFF.
At Twinings, we’re concerned about the use of plastics and are taking action to improve the sustainability of our products and reduce their impact on the environment. Across Twinings products in the UK, more than 90% of our current packaging materials are recyclable, and we are working hard to improve the remaining non-recyclable materials. We support the principle of Remove, Reduce, Recycle and Reuse and believe that, whilst there is currently an important role for some types of plastic to help package and protect our teas, we should ensure we are using the right packaging materials, in the right way, as part of a ‘circular’ economy.

The U.S. military, and the federal government in general, are increasingly taking measures to ensure a robust response whenever and wherever the call arises. That includes ensuring water and power supply resilience, safety system effectiveness, and infrastructure security, in spite of any natural hazard or man-made threats. In short, reducing vulnerabilities to these critical resources, as well as providing valuable training in relevant disciplines, helps keep America safe.
Prosocial is inherently about equity and co-production starting at the scale of small groups and then applying the same principles at multiple levels.
