💧 Économiser l'eau, un engagement exemplaire de l’usine Ahlstrom de la Gère ! 📍 Installé depuis 1850 à Pont-Evêque, en #Isère, cet établissement est leader dans les papiers spéciaux, qu’il exporte à travers le monde ✅ En 2022, incité par les services de l’État suite à une visite des inspecteurs de la DREAL, Ahlstrom La Gère a engagé un important plan de chasse aux fuites sur son réseau de prélèvement d’eau, ce qui lui a permis de réduire fortement ces prélèvements 🎙 “Nous avons économisé 37% de nos prélèvements. Nous sommes fiers que la culture de l'économie d’eau se soit répandue dans l’usine”, témoigne Laure Bignon, responsable énergie station d'épuration - Ahlstrom La Gère 👏 L’État a décidé de sélectionner cet établissement dans le cadre du Plan Eau. Grâce à cela, Ahlstrom La Gère bénéficie d’un accompagnement renforcé pour poursuivre ses efforts dans cette belle dynamique, notamment en matière de Réutilisation des Eaux Usées Traitées #REUT ! Merci à Marc GERBER, directeur d’Ahlstrom La Gère, et à Laure BIGNON, de partager leur stratégie de pointe sur la sobriété et efficacité hydriques ! 📽 Découvrez tout en vidéo 👇 #SobriétéHydrique #BonnesPratiques #TransitionEcologique ------- 🤝 La Stratégie régionale de Sobriété et d'Efficacité Hydriques des Entreprises a été lancée par les services et opérateurs de L’État (Préfecture Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, DREETS, DREAL, ADEME, Agence de l'eau Loire-Bretagne, agence de l'eau Adour-Garonne, Agence de l'eau Rhône Méditerranée Corse) et l'ensemble des partenaires économiques régionaux : Région Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes | CCI de région Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes | MEDEF Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes | CPME Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes | CMA Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes | U2P | UNITEX AuRA | France Chimie | Unicem | ARIA

📰 Exciting: New Meta-Study Highlights That Hydrolysis Prevents the Formation of Persistent PLA Microplastics in the Environment A systematic review of published scientific literature conducted by HYDRA Marine Sciences finds that in the presence of water or humidity, the bioplastic polylactic acid (PLA) will fully hydrolyze, and no persistent nano- or microplastics will remain or accumulate in the environment. 🌱 These findings reinforce Ahlstrom's leading position in offering sustainable alternatives to oil-based plastics through our BioSpun™ spunbond PLA technology. With unique understanding of how fibers can be combined into high-performance specialty materials, Ahlstrom offers a wide range of PLA industrial compostable solutions for tea and coffee market, and many other specialty nonwoven markets. 🌍 Explore the benefits of Ahlstrom's BioSpun™: https://lnkd.in/dd49erQq ➡️ Read the study here: https://lnkd.in/dKEVpbGu #PLA #sustainability #sustainablealternatives Holland Bioplastics

Wet blood spot technology is a method used to collect and analyze small samples of blood on filter paper. Unlike dried blood spot (DBS) technology, where blood is allowed to dry on the filter paper, wet blood spot technology maintains the blood sample in a wet or liquid state until analysis, allowing the preservation and recovery of fresh, high-quality blood cells. ✔️ This approach can offer numerous advantages including enhanced sensitivity, as some analytes (biological molecules or chemical compounds) may be more stable or easier to detect in a wet state. It also allows for immediate processing and increased accuracy by reducing variability introduced by the drying process. Different applications across the healthcare sector can benefit from the wet blood spot. During this webinar, Ahlstrom and METAFORA Biosystems will discuss the use of wet blood spot collection cards for simple and efficient screening of the GLUT1 Deficiency Syndrome, a rare neurometabolic syndrome caused by a defect in the glucose transporter Glut1, leading to a cerebral energy deficit. 🎥 Register now! https://lnkd.in/dP4Znqp4 #Innovation #Diagnostics #Healthcare #BloodTesting
