RENEWCONNECT - All about renewables & power sector

Due to overproduction and less infrastructure in handling the waste that is generated in developed countries, the complete waste is imported by the developing countries at a cost for recycling. Here rich countries are funding the development of infrastructure so that their land is clean safe and less polluted.  In context to the above, abandoned assets were created worldwide, and offer vast recycling potential across numerous sectors. Here’s a list of various kinds of abandoned assets globally that could be repurposed or recycled for sustainable use: 1. Industrial Sites and Factories Locations : Rust Belt (USA), Ruhr Valley (Germany), Sheffield (UK), Osaka (Japan) Potential Uses : Many abandoned factories can be refurbished for adaptive reuse projects like renewable energy installations, urban agriculture, or co-working spaces. They often contain metals, machinery, and other valuable materials for recycling. 2. Oil Rigs and Offshore Platforms Locations : Gulf of Mexico, North Sea, ...

Green Horizons: Pioneering Sustainable Waste Management Trends in 2024. Some of the Key trends shaping the waste management landscape with Circular Economy Initiatives are as follows:  Companies increasingly embrace principles that prioritize the reduction of waste through reusing and recycling materials. Year on year there should be an increase in percent of more utilization of recycle materials and minimize the waste generation. Companies are focusing on sustainable product design, thus creating durable and recyclable items that have an extended lifespan and can seamlessly re-enter the production cycle.  Businesses are adopting innovative strategies such as offering products as a service or implementing take-back schemes.  Advanced Recycling Technologies:  Innovations in recycling technologies are gaining momentum.  AI-powered sorting systems will make recycling more accessible, cost-effective and much simpler in sorting the things or items Advancements to le...
