The surge in plastics production over the past decade has far outpaced our capacity to manage its environmental consequences. Between 2012 and 2022, global plastics production rose by app...
El aumento de la producción de plásticos en la última década ha superado con creces nuestra capacidad para gestionar su impacto ambiental. Entre 2012 y 2022, la producción mundial de plás...
As we take stock of the outcome of the 29th UN Conference of the Parties (COP) last November, the relevance of public health to climate change action is clearer than ever. Climate-driven ...
化学産業の活動は、一般的には主に分子レベルでの物質の操作(特に変換)によって定義されます。このような活動は、食料、モビリティ、グローバルヘルス、情報経済などの分野を含む、あらゆる社会経済システムの中核を担っています。生物である私たち自身が驚異的な総合化学工場であるだけでなく、現代の化学産業の成果によって、私たちは、より健康かつ安全で、生産的な人類として繁栄することができる...
The activities of the chemical industry are generally defined by the manipulation (and especially the transformation) of matter – mainly at the molecular level. These activities remain at...
• Short-term management has been key to managing chemical supply during the pandemic, but long-term trends are equally important.
As the world continues to navigate the complexities of an ongoing pandemic, at any given time millions of tons of the building blocks behind personal care, digital communications, safe pa...
Aside from being the worst health and humanitarian crisis for decades, COVID-19 has caused a drop of almost $7 trillion in global GDP this year.
A group of materials now known collectively as plastics has played a definitive role in delivering much of the socio-economic advantages of modern life, and their production has outpaced ...
