Extracting High-Value Molecules From the Waste Stream

Date TBA

In a world grappling with waste, a living laboratory within a repurposed Chicago meatpacking facility is redefining refuse as a resource. Using an anaerobic digester as a biorefinery, Bubbly Dynamics extracts high-value molecules, such as secondary metabolites, from the waste stream. This unconventional approach empowers nineteen small food businesses at The Plant to revolutionize societal views on waste. Join the visionaries behind this initiative for a rich fireside conversation, exploring real-world examples of converting waste challenges into sustainable opportunities.
