Steel is a low cost material with high tensile strength, which is why you can find it in just about every bridge you cross. Steel girders, cables, and rebar have become the standard building blocks of bridges over the last 70 years. Bridges made with steel turn into bridges made with rust, and bridges made with rust become structurally deficient very quickly. As stated above, there is already $123 billion worth of backlog work for bridge rehabilitation to mitigate structural deficiency. This cost does not account for any costs related to replacing these bridges in the near future. It is time for a more sustainable bridge option.

Climate change impacts are causing many associations to push harder on sustainability. At this year’s IMEX America in Las Vegas, sustainability was a focal point for attendee education and engagement.
The European Green Deal outlines ambitions to build a more sustainable, climate neutral, and circular economy by 2050. To achieve this, the European Commission has published the Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability: Towards a Toxic-Free Environment, which provides targets for innovation to better protect human and environmental health, including challenges posed by hazardous chemicals and animal testing. The European project PATROLS (Physiologically Anchored Tools for Realistic nanOmateriaL hazard aSsessment) has addressed multiple aspects of the Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability by establishing a battery of new approach methodologies, including physiologically anchored human and environmental hazard assessment tools to evaluate the safety of engineered nanomaterials.
A recent World Economic Forum report found that as much as 95 percent of global product value is lost each year due to unrecovered chemical assets. Meanwhile, the majority of consumers are clamoring for more eco-friendly products. These combined factors are driving a new circular economy focused on reused and recycled materials. But what challenges do chemical companies face in this emerging economy?
