In the media: Agricultural waste and salts can provide environmentally friendly flame retardants

The advantage of flame retardants is that they can delay or prevent fire in, for example, plastics, textiles and furniture. But the downside is that many of the ones we use today are difficult to degrade.

In the media: Carbon dioxide-free asphalt can reduce Sweden's emissions by one percent

Today, asphalt is heated through fossil fuel combustion and asphalt management accounts for about one percent of Sweden's carbon dioxide emissions. The project SMMART (Swedish Magnetite Microwave Asphalt Road Technology) develops a microwave-based technology for heating asphalt with mixed magnetite.
