In today's episode of the Digital Supply Chain podcast, I talked nanomaterials and packaging with Federico Trotta, Co-Founder and CEO of Metalchemy. As we unpacked the potential of this nascent industry, we discovered how Metalchemy is pioneering solutions that could revolutionise sustainability in supply chains and beyond.
Our conversation took a deep dive into Metalchemy's groundbreaking antimicrobial technology – a beacon of hope for industries grappling with stringent preservative regulations. It's not just about prolonging shelf life anymore; it's about reinventing preservation with an eco-conscious mindset.
We also touched upon Metalchemy's aspiration to lead the global nanomaterial market, transitioning from academia to tangible, societal benefits. Their proactive commercial partnerships aim to catapult nanotechnology from the lab to the frontline, making a measurable impact.
Towards the end of the episode we discussed biomaterials. In a world drowning in plastic, bioplastics offer a glimmer of hope. Federico illuminated the challenges and advancements in making bioplastics a viable contender to their synthetic counterparts, both in functionality and cost-effectiveness.
The episode concluded with insights into the integration of AI in enhancing the efficiency of experimental processes, a synergy of software and hardware that could potentially accelerate innovation.
Tune in to this episode for a journey through the microscopic world with macro implications, and be part of the conversation steering us towards a greener future.
For those eager to learn more, Federico invites you to explore Metalchemy's website and join their vibrant LinkedIn community. Stay updated with their latest ventures and be inspired by how nanotechnology is not just shaping materials, but also our environmental consciousness.

When you are going to move to a sustainable package, I want you to make sure to verify the claims about the packaging that are being made. The brand is the one who is ultimately responsible. Sometimes, the information is misleading, as we've learned from working with various raw material suppliers over the last years. A word of caution!

In today's episode, we dive more into barrier property and what that means. It's a really important topic in sustainability, because often times barrier property is a critical factor in whether you move to sustainable packaging.

What is greenwashing? I use the term all the time, but I want to make sure we are all on the same page! I also review the KISS method again, now that is it more clear in my mind, because in the previous episodes, I was literally creating this method alongside you. I hope this isn't becoming repetitive.

I want to create a system on how to go from a less sustainable package to a more sustainable packaging. Maybe we can call it "The Contempo Method". I think that by making things simple, they become far more likely to be acted on.

I often find myself confused on whether or not I should be recycling something. I am not afraid to admit that. As we've discussed, this is extremely important, because recycling will not be effective if we continue to contaminate the recycling stream. Let's plan "Is It Recyclable?" and perhaps this can become a regular on The Sustainable Packaging Show! This is a fun episode.
