With consumer awareness and consciousness shifting toward sustainable fashion, businesses in the clothing industry began to focus on making brands ethical. Also, the fabrics assessed must have a little-to-no effect on farming, soil, natural habitats, greenhouse gas emissions, and water and microplastic pollution.

Recycling metal rather than using virgin ore helps preserve natural resources and saves energy. In fact, creating products from recycled steel utilizes 40% less water and reduces mining wastes by 97%. Cascade Steel’s electric arc furnace (EAF) is more energy efficient and environmentally-friendly than traditional blast furnaces.

Microplastics are everywhere: We know that much. Even the definition of “microplastics” is slippery. And not all rivers carry the same load of microplastics. A cautious appraisal was maybe unexpected from a presentation titled (though clearly with some tongue in cheek) “So what if there are microplastics in bioresources?”.

In order to drastically cut greenhouse gas emissions and protect our planet, we will need to creatively redesign and reinvent our underlying energy, agriculture, water, mobility, and economic systems. And as the first state to set a 100% renewable energy goal, our work here can serve as the beacon for other states and countries to follow.

Bulky mixed rigid plastic accounts for 70 per cent of plastics produced, and makes up 60 per cent of the waste plastic sent to landfill or incineration in the UK and EU today. Its most recent and highly promising project seeks to determine the viability of recycling high value polymers from currently incinerated medical waste.

Despite the (slow) migration to electric-powered cars, consumer trends are making driving even more wasteful and unequal. A recent analysis found the emissions saved from electric cars have been more than cancelled out by the increase in gas-guzzling Sport Utility Vehicles (SUVs). Reducing car use in cities.

We will switch to electric vehicles in huge numbers. We will bear witness as the massive climate-action energy gathering strength in city halls, schools, and boardrooms turns kinetic and steers markets away from extraction and toward life-sustaining systems. WeaveGrid enables widescale electric vehicle adoption on the grid.
