Biomimicry and Circular Economy Combat Plastic Pollution
The UN promotes biomimicry to combat plastic pollution; 11 million tons of plastic annually pollute oceans, harming marine life. Veolia's ecofactories and nature-based solutions aim to create circular economies, transforming waste into resources and reducing reliance on fossil fuels.

Polar Bear Fur's Anti-Icing Secret: Squalene-Free Grease
A new study finds that polar bears' fur doesn't freeze when wet because their fur grease lacks squalene, a compound that promotes ice adhesion, and contains ice-resistant compounds, unlike other marine mammals. This discovery may lead to greener ski waxes and deicing fluids.
