📊 Your votes are in! Last week, we asked our LinkedIn community whether Germany is on track to achieve its 2045 net-zero targets. Here’s what you had to say: - 45% of respondents believe we’re far from the goal. - 36% see some progress but think much more needs to be done. - 9% are unsure and need more clarity. - And just 9% think Germany is making strides. These results reflect a clear sentiment that significant challenges persist on the path to net-zero, and a shared belief that Germany has plenty of room for improvement. However, increased awareness brings opportunity, and together, we can drive meaningful solutions to fast-track the transition. 🌱 What do you think needs to change to get us on track?

💉🩺 The sad truth about medtech and circularity… 🚨 1.8 million tons of medical device waste are generated annually in the U.S. alone, with only 10-15% being recycled. Globally, healthcare accounts for 8% of greenhouse gas emissions, driven in part by single-use plastics like syringes, bandages, gloves, and packaging. The numbers are staggering... but there’s hope. 🌱 Circular solutions, like take-back systems, improved recycling, and smarter supply chain management, are helping hospitals reduce waste, reuse materials, and shift toward sustainable packaging. The journey to circularity in medtech has just begun, but every step makes a difference. Want to build a healthcare system that’s better for people and the planet? Then message us! 💚 What’s one step you’d like to see healthcare take in 2025? 👇 #CircularEconomy #Medtech #Healthcare #SustainableHealthcare #Circularity #Sustainability

🇪🇺 Europe Faces Billions in Climate Disaster Costs in 2024 In 2024, Europe experienced three of the top ten costliest climate disasters, according to research by Christian Aid. 🌪️ Storm Boris in central Europe and 🌊 Floods in Spain and Germany Together, they resulted in a staggering $13.87 billion USD (€13.5 billion) in damages. 💰 This year’s most financially costly climate disasters exceeded more than $4 billion USD (€3.8 billion) each. However, it's important to note that the financial focus often highlights wealthier nations, where higher property values and access to insurance inflate the numbers. Meanwhile, poorer nations bore the brunt of many of the most devastating events, underscoring the disproportionate burden of the climate crisis. Christian Aid emphasises the need for urgent action to cut carbon emissions, accelerate renewable energy adoption, and provide funding to protect vulnerable communities worldwide 🌎 ♻️ At Resourcify, this is why we're working hard to help Europe, and soon the U.S., transition to a circular economy, reducing waste and building a more sustainable future for all. #ClimateAction #Sustainability #ExtremeWeather #RenewableEnergy #ClimateCrisis #CircularEconomy #Europe #Germany #Spain

🇩🇪 Is Germany's Net Zero Target too challenging to reach or is the country not doing enough? Germany has committed to reaching net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2045, a legally binding goal enshrined in its Climate Protection Act. The target covers all sectors and gases, excluding international aviation and shipping, with sectoral targets set until 2030 and an emissions pathway until 2040. But is this bold timeline achievable? The Climate Action Tracker evaluates the target as “Average” and raises important questions: 💡 Is Germany doing enough to clarify its reliance on international carbon offset credits? 💡 Can the lack of detailed assumptions around carbon dioxide removal technologies (like direct air capture) undermine progress? 💡 With the 'Climate Action Plan 2050' still incomplete, are these goals supported by a realistic roadmap? 🌳 Germany has made progress with binding forestry removal targets and legally mandated reviews, but gaps remain. 💰 With its accelerated timeline (net negative emissions after 2050), Germany recognises its responsibility as a high-income country. However, transparency and concrete measures will be critical to closing the gap between ambition and actionable fairness on the global stage. 💭 What do you think? Are these plans realistic, or do they fall short? #NetZero #Germany #ClimateAction #Sustainability #ClimateChange

📺 Netflix says "Not on my watch!" (Well, at least not on your old TV) In 2024, Netflix is phasing out support for older devices. That’s right, your second-gen Apple TV and early 2010s smart TVs may be heading to the great tech graveyard. But here’s the real question: 🤔 Are we upgrading our streaming experience... or just upgrading the e-waste pile? Each year, we generate 50 million tonnes of e-waste, and only 17% gets formally recycled. That’s a lot of gadgets with years of life left becoming doorstops overnight. So, what can we do about it? 👉 Platforms could extend support for older devices. 🔧 Manufacturers could make repairs easier. 🌍 Governments could hold companies accountable for creating sustainable options. Swipe through the carousel for all the details, and tell us: Should Netflix and others “keep it streaming” on older devices longer? Or is the upgrade cycle just the cost of innovation? #Netflix #Sustainability #Ewaste #CircularEconomy #TechHumor #Resourcify
