Asia’s Richest Man Says ‘No Option’ But to Make Businesses Green
Mukesh Ambani, Asia’s richest man, plans to transform each of the units under his refining-to-retail conglomerate to create a sustainable business model as Reliance Industries Ltd. chases a net carbon-zero goal by 2035.
“We have no option as a society, as a business but to really adopt a sustainable business model,” Ambani told Bloomberg Television’s Haslinda Amin as part of the Qatar Economic Forum Monday. “I think that’s a prerequisite for every business to survive as we go forward.”

UK local authority league table 2020/21: Is recycling in the UK becalmed?
Resource Magazine has been scrutinising local authority waste data to understand trends for almost 20 years. Our focus is the journey towards zero waste. And while that is not going to be achieved anytime soon, rating performance according to the amount of residual waste that people produce is an effective gauge to measure progress. For obvious reasons, governments, businesses and citizens are focused on tackling CO2e emissions, yet the intensity of our resource use and wastage still warrants consideration.

Unchecked demand for and supply of raw materials also puts communities and natural habitats at risk the world over.

DIY waste recycling fees could be scrapped
Fees for disposing of DIY waste at council recycling centres in England could be banned under government plans, in an attempt to tackle fly-tipping. Around a third of local authorities charge up to £10 an item for disposing of paving slabs, plasterboard, bricks and other materials. More than one million fly-tipping incidents were recorded in 2021, costing local authorities almost £400m. Ministers say they want to make it easier for people to dispose of waste. The proposed changes are contained in a technical consultation by the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs that could lead to current legislation being amended.
In 2015, the government banned charges on local residents disposing of household rubbish at household waste centres.
