La innovación nunca termina | Camilo Fero | TEDxClevelandStateUniversity

Camilo Ferro, químico especializado en plásticos y emprendedor en sostenibilidad, analiza cómo los inventos útiles pueden generar problemas duraderos con el tiempo. Usa como ejemplos los detergentes, los refrigerantes y los plásticos actuales. La charla plantea si es posible cambiar el final de un invento modificando su origen. Fundador de Earth 2 Earth y presidente de RAWS Americas, Ferro presenta una tecnología para eliminar los residuos plásticos persistentes sin generar microplásticos. La charla se dio en un evento TEDx organizado de forma independiente por una comunidad local.

• Las consecuencias no previstas de detergentes, refrigerantes y plásticos
• Si el diseño inicial puede cambiar el destino de un invento
• Una tecnología para eliminar residuos plásticos sin microplásticos

What happens when an invention’s greatest strength becomes its lasting problem? Drawing on his work in sustainability and plastic chemistry, Camilo Ferro explores how we can preserve the benefits of our inventions while addressing their unintended consequences. From detergents and refrigerants to today’s plastics, he asks whether we can change an invention’s ending by changing its beginning and why our responsibility to improve it never ends. Camilo A. Ferro is an entrepreneur and sustainability innovator with more than 15 years of experience developing solutions to plastic waste. He founded Earth 2 Earth, served as vice president of sustainability and innovation at Nature's Source and is president of RAWS Americas. In that role, he is helping bring to market a plastics technology designed to eliminate persistent plastic waste without creating microplastics. Throughout his career, Ferro has focused on advancing sustainability through innovation grounded in scientific research, transparency and practical implementation, with the goal of creating solutions that are both environmentally responsible and commercially viable. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
