Sustainable Sailing &#8211; a start-up established by two brothers with backgrounds in both sailing and chemistry &#8211; is aiming to find alternative ways to process this type of waste.<\/p>\n<p>A research collaboration between the start-up and the Sadler Lab at the University of Edinburgh recently received funding through Innovate UK&#8217;s bio-based manufacturing Launchpad competition for Scotland and is also supported by the Industrial Biotechnology Innovation Centre (IBioIC). Drawing on the engineered biology and green chemistry expertise of the Sadler group, the team has identified an opportunity to use the waste sails as a raw material for high-value chemical compounds traditionally derived from petrochemicals.<\/p>\n<p>Sustainable Sailing has developed a process to treat sail cloth using high-pressure steam to break the composite material down into its chemical building blocks, which can be used in existing industrial and manufacturing processes. The business initially focused on turning these building blocks into other types of plastic but is now looking at the creation of more sustainable materials. The results of the project could see the waste sails being used as an alternative to fossil fuels in the creation of high-value chemicals used in everyday products.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sail-world.com\/news\/277634\/Giving-sailing-waste-a-second-life\">Sail World<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/2-565\/\">Eco start-up makes waves to give sailing waste a second life<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,5446,15502],"class_list":["post-132715","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-pet","tag-sailing-waste"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132715","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=132715"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132715\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=132715"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=132715"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=132715"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
