Sawmill Wastewater Conversion Research
The CRS Institute announces its findings of consumable water by sawmill wastewater conversion research. In a pioneering step toward environmental sustainability and water conservation, a new research initiative is underway to transform wastewater from sawmill kilns into purified water suitable for public consumption.
Innovative Poultry Research
The CRS Institute announces its discovery of its innovative poultry research by exploring cellulose-based prebiotics as an alternative to antibiotic growth promoters. In response to growing concerns surrounding the removal of antibiotic growth promoters in poultry production, researchers from CRS and an industry partner have explored novel, sustainable alternatives to support animal health and industry efficiency.
Pulp Mill Sludge Pond Methane Capture
CRS is researching turning industrial waste into renewable energy and sustainable fertilizers. A research initiative is underway to transform pulp and paper mill sludge (PPMS), a major organic byproduct of the pulp and paper industry’s wastewater treatment process, into a valuable source of renewable energy and sustainable agricultural inputs.
Plastic Pollution Research
CRS is exploring plastic pollution with innovative research that targets sustainable bioplastic alternatives. Plastic pollution has become a global crisis, with an estimated 8 million tons of plastic waste entering oceans each year, according to National Geographic. Despite growing awareness, the widespread use and durability of plastics—particularly polyolefins in packaging and polyethylene in medical applications—make them challenging to replace. This research is to find alternatives.
