Shockingly, microplastics are an ingredient used in a wide variety of industries - ranging from agriculture to cleaning to pharma. They\u2019re called \u201cintentionally added microplastics\u201d and they make products more effective.\n\nAt the same time, pesticides are a hot topic in farming: while they protect crops from weeds, fungi and insects, long-term exposure to these chemicals can damage the environment. Considering pesticides sometimes use microplastics in their formula, this is a product that is ripe for a Sustainability Champion to disrupt and create an environmentally-friendly alternative!\n\nThat\u2019s exactly what today\u2019s guest offers: a biodegradable pesticide that avoids microplastics in order to make agriculture and other industries more sustainable.\n\nIn this Episode of Sustainability Champions, I speak with Sean Smith, CEO of Eden Research and Champion of Sustainable Biochemistry.\n\nEden Research is a publicly-listed company that develops and supplies breakthrough bio-based chemicals and natural microencapsulation technologies for the crop protection, animal health and consumer products industries. Using natural, plastic-free and sustainable ingredients in their agricultural products, they\u2019re supporting green agriculture by protecting high-value crops, improving crop yields and their marketability.\n\nIf you\u2019re interested in learning about new technologies that harness the power of nature instead of fighting against it, check out this conversation.\n\nIf you enjoyed this episode, please give the Sustainability Champions podcast a 5-star review in the Apple Podcast app and subscribe so you\u2019ll know when the next episode is released!\n\n\n\n\n\n Resources:\n\nWebsite: https://www.edenresearch.com/default.aspx (edenresearch.com)\n\n Twitter: twitter.com/EdenResearch\n\n Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/eden-research-plc/ (linkedin.com/company/eden-research-plc)\n\n--\n\nHosted by Daniel Hartz\n\nSustainability Champions\n\nhttps://www.sustainabilitychampions.com\n\nInstagram: @SustainabilityChampions\n\nFacebook: @SustainabilityChampions\n\nLinkedIn: @Sustainability Champions
