In this episode, FDL discusses the importance of understanding the genuine environmental impacts of products and the need to move beyond surface-level sustainability claims.

The guest, Dr. Shauhrat Chopra from City University in Hong Kong, explains the concept of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and its role in quantifying the environmental impacts of products, processes, and services. They discuss the various environmental impacts studied in LCA, including air quality, toxicity, ozone depletion, eutrophication, and acidification. The guest highlights the recent EU legislation against misleading environmental credentials and the role of LCA in ensuring transparency. They discuss the potential for LCA to inform marketing claims and the need for marketing departments to upskill in life cycle thinking.

In this conversation, Mr. José Sivera, CTO of PrimLab (https://primlab.com/en/), discusses CO2 Pure, a compound developed by PrimLab that can adsorb and eliminate carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and volatile organic compounds. The compound works through a combination of metallic oxides, attracting pollutants and converting them into unharmful materials. CO2 Pure can be applied to various surfaces, such as paints, concrete, plastics, textiles, and more. 

During the conversation with FDL, José discusses also the other products at different stages of R&D that are coming out from PrimLab, such as one able to extend the shelf life of fresh food and another able to eliminate heavy metals from crops.

Martin Zhu, co-founder of i2cool ( https://i2cool.com/ ), discusses with FDL the development and application of their passive radiative cooling technology. The technology, inspired by silver ants in the Sahara Desert, uses special materials in building envelopes to reduce cooling loads and energy consumption. By reflecting sunlight, the technology can significantly reduce surface and indoor temperatures (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41560-023-01427-0) .

Martin shares the potential applications of the technology in various industries, including buildings, logistics, and EVs. He also highlights the importance of government support and incentives in promoting the adoption of energy-efficient technologies.
