Inspired by millions of years of natural evolution, Fusion Bionic harnesses the surface properties of plants and insects to create advanced functional surface technology. Their laser technology engraves micro and nano textures onto materials, efficiently mimicking nature's solutions and outperforming traditional methods.

For instance, lotus leaves repel water and dirt, while moth eyes are naturally anti-reflective. By mimicking these structures, Fusion Bionic optimizes materials for eyeglasses, smartphones, solar panels, vehicles, and electronic connectors, reducing energy and chemical use.

Our livers use enzymes to break down complex molecules, inspiring Sudoc, a non-toxic industrial cleaning solution. While traditional cleaning often relies on harsh chemicals, creating toxic conditions, Sudoc offers a sustainable alternative.

Sudoc employs biomimicry, mimicking liver enzymes to create catalysts. Paired with oxidants like hydrogen peroxide, these catalysts accelerate the breakdown of pathogens, drugs, pesticides, and industrial contaminants in land and water, achieving zero elemental toxicity.

The Biomimicry Institute recognized Sudoc in its 2022 Ray of Hope Prize Program. For more, visit Sudoc, Biomimicry Institute, AskNature, Root House Studio, and Ray C. Anderson Foundation.

Bio-inspired packaging could revolutionize food shipping and spoilage. Currently, 40-60% of produce spoils before consumption, especially where cold storage is lacking. This wastes half of humanity's harvest while a billion people face hunger.

GreenPod Labs has developed sachets that harness natural signaling substances from fruits and vegetables. Placed in produce crates, these natural, residue-free sachets extend shelf life by 40-60% without affecting safety or nutrition. Visit GreenPod Labs for details.

This innovation, inspired by biomimicry, offers a sustainable solution to dramatically lower food waste. Explore more at AskNature or Biomimicry Institute.

Uploaded by EarthSayer on June 14, 2010, this video, introduced by Green Festival co-founder Kevin Danaher, explores the Green Festival Seattle (June 5-6, 2010). It highlights attendee interest in green products and services, featuring representatives from diverse organizations, including Vegetarian Times and the New York Times.

The festival promotes principles of a sustainable economy and social justice. Co-sponsored by Global Exchange and Green America, it is the country's premier sustainability and green commerce event. Annual festivals are held in Seattle, San Francisco, Chicago, and Washington, D.C., focusing on sustainability, sustainable development, and green commerce.

"The Physics of Noseriding" explores the magic and mechanics of this iconic surfing move. Through Namaala, a young surfer whose ancestors pioneered water-flying, the film reveals the sensation of levitation as wave, board, and surfer unite.

Written and directed by Lauren L. Hill, starring Namaala Slabb, this film is presented by Patagonia. Patagonia uses its business, investments, and voice to address the threat of extinction facing all life on Earth.

Inspired by natural kynurenine chemicals found in human eyes, Sóliome is revolutionizing sunblock. Traditional synthetic sunscreens harm marine life and persist in the environment. Sóliome's biomimetic, kynurenine-based sunscreens offer an effective, economical, and environmentally friendly alternative.

These innovative sunscreens feature large molecules that remain on the skin's surface for maximum protection. As natural products, they biodegrade quickly and pose fewer risks than synthetic alternatives, protecting both human health and the planet.

Sóliome was a participant in our 2022 Ray of Hope Prize Program. Learn more about biomimicry: biomimicry.org and asknature.org.

Intropic Materials has developed a groundbreaking solution for rapid plastic degradation. Inspired by nature, they embed enzymes directly into plastics. Protected by biodegradable covers during production, these enzymes mimic "chaperone proteins" to ensure their effectiveness.

When composted, these enzymes quickly break down plastics from the inside out into simpler, biodegradable molecules within hours or days. This eliminates slow microbial breakdown and harmful microplastics, promoting a circular economy or natural degradation in soil and water.
