Nigel Harvie, CEO of Recolight, discusses the uptake of remanufacturing lighting equipment All too often, we think that getting products recycled means we have “done our bit” for the environment. But recycling is near the bottom of the waste hierarchy.

With the first wave of the energy transition, renewable energy sources (such as solar and wind) have begun replacing coal power generation. However, some sectors are lagging behind and struggling to decarbonize more than others, including large-scale transportation like commercial aviation, shipping, and rail transit. Electrofuels (aka eFuels) are the next generation of solutions to help the hardest-to-abate sectors pivot from their reliance on fossil fuels.
