This year, Dr. Addy will launch a series of open courses on "sustainable development." The first session will feature two core topics:
Get a deep understanding of sustainable development and PFAS, starting with Dr. Addy's latest open class.
Sustainablity @ BYK
In this course, we will discuss BYK’s profound understanding of sustainable development and its ambitious goals. We will systematically analyze how BYK and its parent company, Altana Group, utilize a range of tools to actively reduce their impact on the global environment. This includes setting carbon reduction targets, quantifying environmental impacts, and employing methods for sustainability assessments, among other topics.
Additionally, we will share BYK’s practical experience in product development and sustainability, helping everyone better understand the practical pathways to sustainable development.
PFAS-Free BYK Additives
This course will take you deep into the global concerns and hazards of PFAS, the current regulatory status in China, and Byk’s PFAS-free alternative solutions.
Background of PFAS
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are widely used for their excellent properties, but their extreme persistence and bioaccumulation potential make them an environmental threat:
✓ Almost non-degradable in nature ✓ Accumulate in the human body through the food chain
Given the hazards of PFAS to humans and the environment, global regulations on PFAS are becoming increasingly stringent.
Where PFAS Can Be Found
If you want to learn more about the ins and outs of PFAS, join Dr. Addy’s class to find the answers!
