From the President: Can You Imagine?

Can you imagine a world where fertilizer production is thoroughly sustainable and recycled, thus enabling global food access that meets population growth? Where waste is considered a resource and has value; where buildings monitor air and water to keep us safe; where pathogen-destroying coatings are integrated into fabrics and clothing; where sensors are noninvasive, continuously monitoring our health while personalizing and advancing medicine and treatment; where plastics are upcycled; where the manufacture of chemicals and materials is decarbonized, distributed, circular, modular, with a small footprint and multiple processing steps integrated into a single unit that implements alternative energy sources… Can you imagine?
