Happy Fat Tuesday! ?????????? Greener Celebrations: How LSU Researchers Are Revolutionizing Mardi Gras Beads Sustainability is a core principle of ASCM APICS certification, emphasizing eco-friendly practices, ethical sourcing, and resource efficiency in supply chain management. As businesses face increasing pressure to reduce carbon footprints and adopt circular economy models, ASCM Houston equips professionals with tools for sustainable procurement, green logistics, and responsible production strategies—and LSU took this challenge to heart! Mardi Gras brings parades, music, and mountains of beads, but behind the fun lies an environmental issue—traditional plastic beads create waste, pollution, and clogged drains. LSU researchers are tackling this by developing biodegradable Mardi Gras beads, as highlighted in USA TODAY’s video “LSU Researchers Create Biodegradable Mardi Gras Beads.” The Problem: Plastic Beads & Environmental Impact Every year, hundreds of thousands of pounds of beads are discarded, leading to: Clogged storm drains and flooding. Microplastic pollution harming marine life. Toxic chemicals in traditional beads. The Solution: LSU’s Biodegradable Beads Unlike plastic, LSU’s beads are made from plant-based, compostable materials that break down safely over time. They are: ? Eco-Friendly – No harmful chemicals or microplastics. ? Durable & Festive – Strong enough for celebrations, biodegradable afterward. The Future of Sustainable Mardi Gras If widely adopted, these beads could: ?? Reduce plastic waste & pollution ?? Encourage sustainable event practices ?? Promote eco-friendly supply chain alternatives LSU’s biodegradable beads offer a practical, innovative solution to Mardi Gras waste. By embracing sustainable alternatives, we can preserve traditions while protecting the environment. Want to learn more about supply chain sustainability? ????
