--most inspiring post of this year's 8th March-- 6 WOMEN-LED PROJECTS SAVING OUR PLANET 🌎 6. @LivingSeaWalls 🌊 These 3D Printed living seawalls were developed by a team of Australian researchers. They are attached to existing sea defences to help marine life thrive! 5. @ToucanRescueRanch 🦜 This organisation, founded by Leslie Howle, is rescuing, rehabilitating, and releasing animals back into their natural habitats in Costa Rica. They are also working tirelessly to educate locals and tourists about the importance of conservation. 4. Recycled Plastic Bricks @gjenge_makers 🧱 These recycled plastic bricks are reducing plastic pollution in Kenya. Nzambi Matee created these bricks that are stronger than concrete and are a lightweight and low-cost building material. 3. Biodegradable sanitary products 🩸@rafaellab_g These biodegradable sanitary products are made from banana harvest waste. Rafaella De Bona Gonçalves is tackling widespread period poverty for disadvantaged groups in Brazil. 2. Palm Oil Alternative @gopalmless 🌴 This is a truly sustainable alternative to palm oil, made using yeast! Palm oil production is destroying rainforests around the world. Shara Ticku and her team have developed a solution that can be grown in tanks and scaled without harming vital ecosystems. 1. @MukuruCleanStoves 🔥 Mukuru Clean Stoves repurpose locally sourced waste metal to manufacture safer and more efficient cookstoves for low-income families across Africa. Developed by Charlot Magayi, these stoves are helping to massively reduce household air pollution and save lives. https://lnkd.in/dmUDjd-3

Sustainability is surely the most important aspect of doing business, our commitment to this is set in stone

🌍 Today is World Environment Day! Did you know that the #textileindustry is one of the biggest polluters, alongside transportation and food industries? The global textile industry produces 150 billion pieces of clothing annually, resulting in 93 million tons of waste. In #Slovenia, we generate 17,000 tons of #textilewaste. The Green-Tex project, implemented in the #Danube region, aims to develop #innovative solutions for a sustainable textile industry. The objective is to enhance the sector's #resilience and #competitiveness by adopting green practices based on the circular economy. 💚♻️ Together, we can reduce textile waste and contribute to a cleaner environment. Before buying new clothes, ask yourself if you really need them. Consider purchasing second-hand items or supporting sustainable brands. 🌱✨ Interreg Green-Tex project is carried out within Interreg Danube Region Programme and is co-funded by the European Union. #GreenTex #EnvironmentDay #SustainableTextile #CircularEconomy #EUprojects #Postojna

Driving Sustainability Forward: EcoMark Rules 2024 Proud to share that the EcoMark Rules 2024 have been published, setting new benchmarks for promoting environmentally friendly products across India. This initiative aims to reduce environmental impact, support the principles of LIFE (Lifestyle for Environment), and encourage green industry growth. Key Highlights: Eco-Friendly Certification: Strict standards for products with minimal environmental impact, supporting waste reduction, recycling, and energy efficiency. Circular Economy: The new rules promote the use of recycled materials and discourage harmful chemicals in production processes. Transparency: Product labeling ensures consumers are fully informed, fostering responsible purchasing decisions. These changes align perfectly with India’s green growth vision, and I’m excited about the opportunities this presents for sustainable innovation. Let’s continue working toward a greener future Switcheko #Sustainability #EcoFriendly #CircularEconomy #GreenInnovation #EcoLabel #EnvironmentalImpact #RenewableEnergy #GreenFuture #SustainableProducts #ClimateAction

A step in the right direction

𝐀 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐞 𝐆𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐙𝐞𝐫𝐨-𝐰𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞 𝐏𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭 𝐃𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐥𝐨𝐚𝐝 𝐒𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐏𝐃𝐅 [𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐞]: https://lnkd.in/daS9P3GE 𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐢𝐥 𝐈𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐐𝐮𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐞) Reusable packaging has been emerging as a key trend in recent years among consumers and manufacturers, as it has the potential to provide #zerowaste. Reusable packaging is cost-efficient and environmentally friendly. Companies can save money on the cost of raw materials, energy, and labor by decreasing the need to manufacture single-use packaging with the help of reusable materials. This type of packaging is more robust and long-lasting than single-use packaging since it is made for repeated usage. Reusable alternatives are being used to counteract the surging use of single-use packaging by shifting toward a multi-use resource. This type of #packaging is recycled and recirculated across several industries rather than being thrown away once it has reached the consumer. Reusable packaging has a significantly smaller environmental impact than #conventional packaging. It reduces trash by 95%, eutrophication by 60%, and global warming potential (GWP) by 75%. Compared to one-way bottles, refillable bottles produce fewer greenhouse gas emissions. #packaging #zerowaste #packagingindustry #packagingdesign #resuablepackaging

It's always refreshing to see companies taking steps towards sustainability 🌱 Small(rig) changes can make a big impact! There's still far too much plastic packaging that seems to come with everything we buy these days. Let's hope more companies follow suit and prioritise sustainability in their packaging! Well done SmallRig 👏 #Sustainability #RecyclablePackaging #GoGreen ♻️🌿
