Biomimicry 3.8 welcomed 18 new members to its biomimicry community this week, an elite multi-disciplinary group that makes up the 2016-2018 Biomimicry Professional (BPRo) certificate program cohort. In a highly competitive process, “each member was chosen because of their passion, qualifications, and dedication to biomimicry,” said Dr. Dayna Baumeister, program founder and lead instructor. “This 2016-2018 cohort undoubtedly represents another stellar group that is ready to learn what it means to lead in a world mentored by life’s genius.” Click here to view the full list of 2016 cohort members The globally renowned Biomimicry Professional (BPro) certificate program is a part-time, two-year course that integrates an accredited Master’s of Science in Biomimicry degree through Arizona State University with an in-person immersion program run by Biomimicry 3.8.

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation, in partnership with World Economic Forum and McKinsey and Company, released a new report today that defines a vision of a world where plastics never become waste. “The New Plastic Economy” is a visionary report that defines a plan to empower plastic in a sense, by using circular economy principles.
