Recently, members of our Virent team attended the 2024 Engineers Without Borders UW-Madison (EWB) Fundraising Banquet in Madison to support the University of Wisconsin-Madison chapter. Senior Research Technician David Appleby, who serves as the EWB-Madison Area Professional Chapter’s president, was a featured speaker at the event again this year. “I couldn’t be prouder of the work this chapter of EWB has accomplished over the years,” Appleby said. “There’s always more that can be done, but together, we are making this world a better place.” Virent, Inc, a supporter of EWB since 2021, made a $15,000 donation to the EWB-Madison chapter in 2023 to build a schoolhouse in #UgandaAfrica. We have also donated to EWB projects that provide access to clean water and solar electricity in #Guatemala, #Nicaragua and #PuertoRico. #Virent #EngineersWithoutBorders #EWB #MadisonWisconsin Engineers Without Borders USA

As a proud graduate of the Fashion for Good Innovation Program in 2023, Virent, Inc returned to Amsterdam for the Fashion for Good Material Symposium, which brought together global stakeholders from diverse areas of the fashion and textile industry. 🧥   Our Vice President of Strategy & Business Analysis Bob Rozmiarek took part in a discussion on Renewable Carbon Alternatives. The panel included companies like adidas and the nova-Institut GmbH, sharing ideas, talking challenges and working together to create opportunities in the fashion industry. 👠   At the event, Virent displayed the Patagonia SugarDown Hoody & Issey Miyake jacket – both made using Virent’s 100% plant-based technology, BioForming®, which converts sugars into paraxylene—a component of polyester that is typically derived from crude oil. 🌿 #FashionForGood #SustainableFashion #Innovation #Virent

The BioForming® Advantages: Virent’s hydrocarbon molecules are the same as those found in today’s petroleum products, but made from renewable feedstocks. These molecules can be dropped in to existing infrastructure for the production of chemicals or blended in high concentrations to make premium quality gasoline, diesel or jet fuel that’s compatible with existing engines. #Bioforming #Sustainability #RenewableEnergy #Virent Learn more: virent.com/news
