Food & Plastic Waste Reduction:

With the growing food waste pandemic, Metalchemy is focused on sustainable impact and seeks to use its patented silver technology to promote food longevity while combating climate change and food poverty. At a global level, the cost of avoidable food and drink waste is around £1 trillion annually, accounting for 10% of the global greenhouse gas emissions. 

Toxic Chemicals Reduction:

We also aim to reduce the amount of toxic, non sustainable chemicals in the cosmetics and healthcare industry through our AlchemyCosmetics™ colloidal silver and colloidal gold product lines. We also support businesses seeking enhanced product shelf life, stability and preservation using our natural colloidal formulations. 

Measuring Our Impact:

We have defined ESG frameworks as well as Impact Metrics.We work under the Sustainable Financial Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) Article 9. 

Using our patented green nanoparticles manufacturing process the environmental impact is significantly reduced compared to current processes from our Life Cycle Analysis (LCA): 

• Global warming potential impact is around 78x lower

• Ozone depletion potential 85x lower

• Terrestrial acidification potential 62x lower

• Ecotoxicity in marine or terrestrial environments is at least 40x lower 

The significant improvement is due to the green biochemical process developed and patented by Metalchemy and non-toxic reagents used to efficiently produce the nanoparticles enhancing formulations performance. 

Our Metrics:

Among key metrics we track and report on: GHG emissions avoidance, macro & micro plastics avoidance & reduction, food waste avoidance, hazardous waste avoidance, and stakeholder engagement.
