💰 ❤️🩹 ⚠️ The true cost of PFAS, and are businesses underestimating the risks? PFAS, the so-called “forever chemicals,” don’t just linger in the environment—they come with steep legal liabilities, mounting reputational risks, and serious human health concerns. With lawsuits piling up, regulatory crackdowns intensifying, and public awareness at an all-time high, businesses can no longer afford to ignore the hidden costs of PFAS. 🔍 What’s at stake?  🌱 How can companies proactively transition to safer alternatives? We break it all down in our latest blog post https://lnkd.in/eGk_jntk #PFAS #PFASalternative #seaweed #biocoating #SDG #ESG #biomass #bioproduct #innovation #sustainability #circulareconomy Natasha Yamamura Dr. Elvira Rakova Dr Farshid Pahlevani Alejandra Noren Fiona McOmish

🌊 Exciting News from Algae Scope 🌊 We're delighted to have been selected out of 200 startups to participate in the Faros Accelerator Blue Economy! 🚀 This is an incredible opportunity to engage with FAROS's broad industrial network, and we’re already seeing the value of these connections. 🔹 Why is this so important? Italy’s maritime heritage and strategic position in the Mediterranean make it a logical natural hub for the blue economy. With its rich coastline, Italy is uniquely positioned to lead the charge in sustainable, ocean-based industries. 🔹 What’s driving this shift? Italian industries are embracing bio-based alternatives that offer cost-effective environmentally-friendly solutions. Why? - The problem of dangerous PFAS chemicals is well-known in Italy and these regulations are tightening, so companies know that if they fail to adapt, they must face penalties, fees, and sanctions. - With more than 4 billion euros in turnover, Italy ranks first in Europe for the production of technical textiles and fourth in the world. Establishing seaweed farming, and testing seaweed bio-products, including our water-resistant and fire-retardant seaweed bio-coating, in Italy makes strategic sense against this backdrop! - Corporate reporting requirements are increasing, creating pressure to show clear progress in reducing carbon emissions and meeting SDG/ESG goals. - Addressing the root cause of toxic chemicals at the source isn’t just possible—it’s an economically-viable and organisationally-smart solution. 🔹 We are excited about the potential for innovation in the blue economy here in Italy and the broader global impact that can follow. 🌱🌊 #BlueEconomy #Innovation #Sustainability #BioBasedSolutions #FAROS #CircularEconomy #ESG #SDGs #SustainableFuture Natasha Yamamura, Dr. Elvira Rakova, Dr Farshid Pahlevani Alejandra Noren Fiona McOmish
