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 reducing the extraction and pollution on planet earth.
Landfill Gas Utilization is a clever way to help our environment and make energy too! It’s all about capturing methane gas from landfills. When trash sits in a landfill, it goes through a process called anaerobic decay. This process produces gases like methane (CH₄) and carbon dioxide (CO₂). By capturing these gases, we not only […]
Have you ever thought about vermicomposting and how worms can turn your food scraps into gold for the garden? Vermicomposting is the nifty, natural way of using worms to break down organic waste into a super-rich compost. Unlike traditional composting methods that can be slow and take lots of room, vermicomposting is compact and quick! […]
Imagine a world where we turn industrial waste into a treasure trove of sustainable energy. Global energy demands are rising, and so is industrial waste. But what if I told you that this challenge is also an opportunity? This isn’t just about getting rid of waste—it’s about creating value by embracing the circular economy. In […]
The Ocean’s plastic crisis is a growing monster, with millions of tons of trash invading our beautiful seas and threatening marine life and jobs. It’s a huge mess that’s tough to clean up! Ocean plastics are not just any plastics; they are mixed-up, contaminated, and often damaged, making regular recycling a real headache. But let’s […]
Rare Earth Elements like neodymium, dysprosium, praseodymium, and terbium are vital for our modern tech world! They’re tucked inside everything from electric vehicles and wind turbines to the devices we can’t live without. But here’s the catch – the supply of these critical elements is finite, mining them leaves a huge environmental footprint, and control […]
The urban material frontier is buzzing with excitement! Imagine cities like General Santos tackling the “take-make-waste” crisis and finding creative ways to transform waste into golden opportunities. This is where Localized Material Banks (LMBs) come into play. They’re not your ordinary recycling centers but are vital hubs that change the way we handle waste. Think […]
Creating a circular economy in contaminated soil and sludge might sound like a puzzle, but the benefits are worth it! Instead of viewing these as just waste, imagine turning them into something valuable. Today, contaminated agricultural byproducts, like those from places such as Davao, face challenges that include nasty pollutants like pesticides and heavy metals. […]
Creating circularity in enzymes from the fermentation waste supply chain is like finding treasure where others see trash. Did you know that industries all over the world need more enzymes for green processes, but often miss out on the untapped goldmine hidden in their waste? Massive amounts of byproducts from agro-industrial fermentation are usually just […]
Creating circularity in algae and seaweed residues supply chain might sound like an idea from a science fiction movie, but it’s a very real and exciting opportunity! As the global expansion of algae and seaweed farming increases for food, cosmetics, and biofuels, a significant challenge arises: what do we do with all the leftover biomass? […]
Creating circularity in the desalination brine supply chain is an exciting frontier in our quest for sustainable water solutions. With our growing reliance on seawater desalination for freshwater, we face a fascinating challenge: turning high-salinity brine, usually seen as troublesome waste, into valuable resources. This desalination dilemma not only impacts the environment but also represents […]
Coal ash and fly ash—they might sound like something you’d want to forget, but imagine if these massive byproducts of thermal power could actually become valuable resources! How, you ask? By turning a problem into a solution, and embracing a circular way of thinking. Instead of the old routine, where we dump these ashes into […]
The Climate Challenge has never been more urgent. Our beautiful planet needs us to act, and reducing atmospheric CO₂ is one big part of the puzzle. Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology is our superhero solution, swooping in to grab CO₂ right from the air. But here’s the twist: it’s not just about capturing carbon anymore. […]
