During an Erasmus philosophy course in Barcelona, I came across the philosophy of animal rights activist Peter Singer and realised that there was a huge ethical problem – around slaughtering animals for food- about which little was being done. This insight stayed with me for years. After leaving McKinsey I planned to take a year off, but I quickly met Daan Luining and Mark Kotter. Daan had a great idea, Mark had a distinctive technology and I had the commercial insight to do something with the ethical problem. Together we founded Meatable. Industrial meat farming is unsustainable.
Brill Power, supported by EIT Climate-KIC, has launched the first in a new class of battery management systems (BMS), increasing battery life and storage capacity to help mitigate climate change, pollution and the extraction of raw materials. According to a study on energy storage systems: “A large amount and wide range of raw materials, including metals and non-metals, are used to produce batteries. And, the battery industry can generate considerable amounts of environmental pollutants (e.g. hazardous waste, greenhouse gas emissions and toxic gases) during different processes such as mining, manufacturing, use, transportation, collection, storage, treatment, disposal and recycling. Battery use at a large scale or grid-scale (>50 MW), which is widely anticipated, will therefore have significant social and environmental impacts.”
Polestar, Volvo’s electric performance brand, has opened its first production facility in Chengdu, China. It will produce the Polestar 1, an electric performance hybrid coupe. “Here in Chengdu we are not only manufacturing a premium hybrid-electric performance car,” Polestar CEO Thomas Ingenlath said in a prepared statement. “We have also created an inspirational manufacturing environment, a great place to work and visit. It truly reflects the Polestar brand.”
As the 2030 Agenda targets loom, environmental service companies are increasingly incorporating in their business plans investments in recycling facilities capable of bringing us closer to the zero waste goal by turning it into secondary raw materials that can be returned to the commercial cycle with minimal waste. With this aim, G.A.I.A. Spa and Iren Ambiente (which holds 45% ownership of G.A.I.A. and provides environmental services to a population of more than 3 million) called on STADLER, the German company specialized in the planning, production and assembly of turnkey recycling and sorting plants, to design and build new recycling plants in Asti and Parma. The requirements for the two plants were different: sorting of plastic packaging from separate collection in Asti, and sorting of plastic and paper/cardboard in Parma.
