Novonesis-Bibliothek für Nachhaltigkeitsstudien

Datengesteuerte und wissenschaftlich fundierte Studien

Wir führen Nachhaltigkeitsstudien durch, um die ökologischen und gesellschaftlichen Vorteile des Einsatzes von Biosolutions mit denen herkömmlicher Technologien zu vergleichen, die häufig auf fossilen Rohstoffen basieren oder synthetisch hergestellt werden.

Die Studien sind datengesteuert und wissenschaftlich fundiert. Wir nutzen unser jahrzehntelanges Fachwissen im Bereich der Umweltwissenschaften und der Lebenszyklusanalyse.

Diese Studien, die häufig in Zusammenarbeit mit Kunden durchgeführt werden, verwenden Anwendungsdaten, um messbare ökologische und gesellschaftliche Vorteile aufzuzeigen. Sie befähigen Kunden, die nachgewiesenen Nachhaltigkeitsvorteile ihrer Produkte, Prozesse oder Dienstleistungen klar darzustellen.
