Venture beyond the headlines with us and into the innovative world of Reactive Surfaces, where Beth and her team are transforming the way we think about coatings – from self-cleaning surfaces to algae-infused paints that tackle CO2 emissions head-on. In an age where pandemics and climate change loom large, Beth reveals how cutting-edge biotechnology is revolutionizing our approach to these global challenges. The unveiling of a transformative platform technology deploying antimicrobial peptides promises to redefine notions of cleanliness, perhaps most critically in the medical field.

On this episode of The Sustainability Podcast, host Gaven Simon sits down with Beth McDaniel of Reactive Surfaces. The two discuss Reactive Surfaces’ newest “Lichen” technology, a bio-reactive surface that replicates the natural functions of Lichen Algae. This surface can be applied to external surfaces or stored in external systems that can speed up the carbon capture process and maximize the area of Lichen applied. Beth Mcdaniel answers questions about the technology, receiving a Life Cycle Analysis, and the 45q tax credit.
