We are working on a lot of amazing things over the coming months and years. We look forward to updating you on all the exciting innovations coming your way.
This section focuses on how ALT LABS supports people interested in a more sustainable environment.
Have you ever wondered how nature manages to flawlessly renew itself, creating an endless loop of life and resources? Today, we dive into the fascinating world of biomimetic material regeneration to unlock the secrets behind nature’s genius. Imagine materials inspired by the self-repairing capabilities of geckos or the dust-repelling properties of lotus leaves! By imitating […]
Invasive species like Kudzu, Water Hyacinth, and Japanese Knotweed often wreak havoc on our environment, costing billions in ecological and economic damage. But here’s an exciting twist: these fast-growing plants could be the untapped heroes of tomorrow! With the demand for sustainable energy and bio-based materials on the rise, we can transform these ecological troubles […]
Urban mining is our treasure hunt in today’s cities, where electronics, buildings, and infrastructure hold the keys to a brighter, more sustainable future. Imagine your smartphone, your laptop, or even the old bridge down the road brimming with rare metals like lithium, cobalt, and platinum. This modern-day mining isn’t just cool; it’s critical. As we […]
Let’s talk about something we often overlook—urban green waste. Imagine the piles of tree trimmings, fallen leaves, and all the bits and bobs from landscaping. Right now, much of this valuable resource ends up in landfills, adding to our environmental woes. But what if we could transform this so-called waste into gold for our cities? […]
Creating circularity in stormwater capture could be just what our cities need to shine! For years, urbanization has meant treating rainwater as waste. Imagine, instead, if we viewed it as a precious resource ready to be transformed. With the right systems, we can turn this wasted possibility into something wonderful. This shift could lead to […]
Isotopes are like magical little helpers in our world. They are used in medicine, energy, and industry to do jobs we can’t see but definitely need! But right now, we don’t use them very wisely. We take them, use them, and throw them away, which creates a bunch of problems like waste and shortages. Imagine […]
Imagine a world where Quantum Dots (QDs), those tiny but mighty components in your electronics, don’t just end up as waste. These little wonders are vital for modern electronics and displays. However, they come with challenges, including toxic materials and the growing problem of e-waste. Yet, there’s hope on the horizon! We’re dreaming big about […]
Creating circularity in metal-organic frameworks might sound complex, but it’s truly game-changing for MOFs’ supply chain! Imagine using these brilliant materials over and over for gas storage and filtration. That’s the dream—making sure the production and reuse of MOFs is sustainable. Right now, the journey is a bit like a one-way street filled with energy-consuming […]
Harvesting energy doesn’t have to mean creating waste. With piezoelectric and triboelectric materials, we can power up our smart devices and IoT gadgets and make a positive impact on our planet. These materials, turning mechanical stress or friction into electricity, are crucial for modern technology. Yet, they come with a challenge: linear supply chains and […]
Creating circularity in peels, rinds, and skins might just be the treasure chest we’ve been looking for! Imagine turning vast amounts of discarded fruit and vegetable peels, like banana skins and citrus rinds, from waste into wealth. They aren’t just trash; they’re packed with fiber, pectin, and antioxidants, which are incredibly valuable. In many regions, […]
Circularity in pits and seeds supply chain from fruits and nuts is like finding hidden treasure in everyday waste! Did you know that countless regions worldwide discard a mountain of avocado pits, mango seeds, and almond shells each year? That’s a lot of untapped potential. These hard inner wastes aren’t just trash; they’re packed with […]
Imagine a vibrant farm where rows of healthy crops sway under the sun, needing no synthetic help. This isn’t just a daydream. It’s how sustainable agriculture can feel when we rely on nature’s own methods. The problem? Our reliance on synthetic fertilizers and pesticides has harmed our soil, water, and even our health. But there’s […]
