Podcasts about raw materials

On this episode, Jared sits down with Amber Lynn Vitale, certified nutritionist, Ayurvedic clinical consultant, and national educator for Sabinsa Wellness, to explore the fascinating world of Ayurvedic medicine and what it can teach us about personalized health. They discuss the importance of ingredient sourcing, raw material testing, and how to know you're getting a quality product when choosing supplements. Amber shares how ancient Ayurvedic principles focus on understanding the individual rather than treating everyone the same, and how modern research is beginning to validate many of these time-tested concepts. The conversation also dives into the rigorous standards Sabinsa uses to ensure purity, potency, and consistency in herbal ingredients. If you've ever wondered how to evaluate supplement quality or wanted a practical introduction to Ayurveda, this episode is a great place to start. Visit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.

When you look at the top restaurants around the world, no matter what cuisine they may focus on, there's one commonality they all share, and that's deep relationships with those who grow and raise the very best ingredients. It's the same in beer—you can't be the best at what you do without the meaningful, personal, financial, and long-standing relationships that ensure the brewery has access to the very best quality ingredients. These relationships don't materialize overnight, but for Firestone Walker, they're the product of 30 years of work. In this series, we highlight a number of these crucial growers, brokers, and processors who have played a role in the world-class beer that Firestone Walker makes. Episode 3: Anywhere & Everywhere In this third episode of the Source Material series, we look at the international reach of hops with which Firestone Walker brews and head to New Zealand for a conversation with Brent McGlashen of Mac Hops, part of the bigger NZ Hops collective. Brent's family has been farming hops down in Motueka for five generations, and their two farms produce quite a bit of the New Zealand hops that make their way into Firestone Walker beer. Joining from Firestone Walker is Tim Miller, raw materials manager and brewer, and it's Tim's job to source the highest quality ingredients, test and analyze them, and make sure that what comes into the brewery is what they expect to come in. Finding great hops wherever they're grown, whether that's Nelson, New Zealand, or Germany's Hallertau, is a big focus for Firestone Walker, and the long-term grower relationships they've built over the past 30 years stretch far beyond North America to anywhere and everywhere that great hops are grown.

SHANGHAI (ICIS)--Since the outbreak of the Middle East conflict in late February, attention has increasingly focused on its impact on energy and petrochemical markets. A steep rise in crude oil and naphtha prices has driven a rapid increase in prices across aromatics and their derivatives. According to ICIS data, as of 22 April, prices of downstream polymer products derived from aromatics in China, including polyester fibre, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polystyrene (PS) and expandable polystyrene (EPS) have risen by 25–40% compared with pre‑conflict levels.This inevitably raises questions about whether end-industry companies can withstand such immense price pressure, what their current countermeasures are, and how these dynamics may feed back into upstream markets.In this podcast, Asian Senior Aromatics Analysts Jenny Yi, Jimmy Zhang, and Yoland Chen discuss how the Middle East conflict is affecting demand across China's aromatics end-use industries and share their views on near- and medium-term implications.The 38th China International Plastics & Rubber Industry Exhibition (Chinaplas) - the world's leading trade fair for the sector - is taking place from April 21 to 24 April in Shanghai, China. ICIS held extensive discussions with market participants attending the event, with key insights shared in today's podcast. End-use industry performance is mixed: nylon, PET resin demand grows, home appliance demand slows, textile and clothing demand may decline ABS demand growth in China is expected to be lower this year than in 2025, while EPS and PS demand is forecast to slow in 2026 before rebounding in 2027 China's polyester fiber consumption and production are set to decline this year, while PET resin demand remains strong, prompting integrated producers to prioritize PET resin output

In this episode of the Everything Electric Podcast, Robert Llewellyn sits down with Professor Jan Rosenow, Professor of Energy and Climate Policy at Oxford University, to reveal why electricity currently only tells 20% of the global energy story. They delve into tackling the "hidden 80%", the mobility and heating sectors still dominated by fossil fuels; and explore why our current system is "astonishingly inefficient," wasting two-thirds of all energy inputs as heat. Jan explains how shifting to electrification at scale could cut total global energy demand in half and tackles the biggest myths and milestones of the transition: The Grid Threat: Why data centers pose a more significant regional challenge to the grid than 100 million electric vehicles. Critical Materials: Is the world really running out of lithium, or are we entering an era of "urban mining" where 95-97% of battery materials can be recycled? The China Factor: A look at the "mind-blowing" scale of solar adoption in China and the declining utilization of their coal plants. Beyond Climate: Why electrification is now a primary lever for energy security and economic resilience in a volatile world. From the efficiency of heat pumps to the emergence of industrial heat batteries , this episode connects the dots on what the next phase of the energy transition really looks like.     00:00 A little error... 03:22 Fragile Fuel Systems and Global Crises 05:53 The Myth of North Sea Energy Security 07:44 The Colossal Scale of Global Oil Consumption 08:44 The 20/80 Rule: Why Electricity Isn't Everything 10:41 Efficiency: Why Electrification Halves Energy Use 12:47 China's Solar Revolution and Coal Reality 15:52 The Mindset of the New Generation of Engineers 18:51 Market Tipping Points: Cheaper, Faster, Lighter 22:26 Data Centers vs. EV Grid Impact 28:04 Raw Materials, Lithium Mining, and Circular Economies 34:02 SMRs, Fusion, and Carbon Capture: The Reality Check 41:41 Energiewende and Global Energy Access 48:14 The Next Big Thing: Industrial Heat Batteries 52:40 Domestic Advice: Batteries vs. Solar   Why not come and join us at our next Everything Electric expo: www.everythingelectric.show    Check out our sister channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/EverythingElectricShow   Support our StopBurningStuff campaign: https://www.patreon.com/STOPBurningStuff Become an Everything Electric Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/fullychargedshow Become a YouTube member: use JOIN button above Buy the Fully Charged Guide to Electric Vehicles & Clean Energy : https://buff.ly/2GybGt0 Subscribe for episode alerts and the Everything Electric newsletter: https://fullycharged.show/zap-sign-up/ Visit: https://FullyCharged.Show Find us on X: https://x.com/Everyth1ngElec Follow us on Instagram: https://instagram.com/officialeverythingelectric To partner, exhibit or sponsor at our award-winning expos email: commercial@fullycharged.show   EE NORTH (Harrogate) - 8th & 9th May 2026  EE WEST (Cheltenham) - 12th & 13th June 2026 EE GREATER LONDON (Twickenham) - 11th & 12th Sept 2026 EE SYDNEY - Sydney Olympic Park - 18th - 20th Sept 2026   Tags: #EnergyTransition #Electrification #CleanEnergy #RenewableEnergy #NetZero #ClimateSolutions #EnergyEfficiency #ElectricVehicles #EVs #HeatPumps #Decarbonization #Sustainability #FutureOfEnergy #CleanTech #GreenTechnology #EnergySecurity #BatteryRecycling #CircularEconomy #Lithium #UrbanMining #ChinaEnergy #GlobalEnergy #ClimateAction #LowCarbon #EverythingElectric #JanRosenow

Pornography is stealing your life force. Successful men in dead bedrooms scroll instead of creating empires.Your heart is a compass. When you waste energy, you feel it—guilt, shame, regret. That glow in life comes from what you're NOT doing. Fill your environment with notebooks, pens, educational books—boundaries against mindless self-sabotage. Life works in snowball fashion, up or down. We're sending signals through synchronicity. 90 to 110 is a huge gap—do you really know who you are? Sexual energy when contained builds businesses, writes books. When leaked, creates emptiness. You can't stop porn addiction by obsessing over stopping.The 30-day test. Your sexual energy isn't just about sex—it's raw material of creation itself. Every time you waste it, you're flushing life force into digital void.Listen if you're ready to stop leaking and start creating.

Companies can lose BIG money when they deliver a product that looks, and feels inferior to the original sample. This happens all too often. Why? Companies want to pad profitability by using cheaper raw materials for the order fulfillment production. Is your company doing this? If so, maybe it's time for an integrity-driven approach to filling customer orders? BTW…the example in this video created a $696,000 loss for the manufacturer!!!Support the show

This episode with Romane Dideberg explores responsible mineral sourcing in the context of rising geopolitical risk, with a focus on the Sahel. We examine how insecurity, military coups, and shifting alliances are reshaping control over critical minerals, driving resource nationalism, and complicating governance in fragile and conflict-affected states. Moreover, we also look at corruption, the role of civil society, and the realities of artisanal and small-scale mining. We unpack what traceability can, and cannot, achieve in mineral supply chains, and why responsible sourcing must go beyond tick-box compliance to genuinely improve governance, livelihoods, and long-term stability.Romane Dideberg is a researcher at Chatham House, the Royal Institute of International Affairs in London.

A new analysis by Fraunhofer Austria Research GmbH in cooperation with refurbed, Ireland's leading online marketplace for refurbished devices, examined the scale of unused smartphones in European households and their refurbishment potential. The study estimates that around 643 million devices are currently lying idle, of which 211 million could be professionally refurbished. Beyond this, the stockpile of unused phones contains enough raw materials to help meet Europe's demand for critical metals and rare earths for years to come. According to the report "Potential of Unused Smartphones in European Households", professional recycling could return to the European value chain over 5,000 tons of cobalt, 129 tons of magnesium, 431 tons of tin, 43 tons of tungsten, 1 ton of palladium and 9 tons of gold. The material value of all metals contained in these discarded smartphones amounts to approximately €1.1 billion (raw material prices as of February 2025). For Ireland alone, the figures are considerable: an estimated 7.6 million discarded smartphones are lying unused in households. Of these, around 5.1 million could still be recycled, yielding valuable resources such as 102 tons of cobalt, 5.1 tons of gold, 510 kilograms of tin, 1.53 tons of tungsten, 15.3 tons of magnesium and just over 0.1 ton of palladium. According to Fraunhofer Austria, the total raw material value of these unused smartphones amounts to approximately €18.5 million (based on raw material prices in February 2025). "The concentration of metals in one ton of e-waste can exceed that in one ton of ore-bearing earth extracted through conventional mining. Mining in old smartphones can therefore be worthwhile," says Paul Rudorf, project manager at Fraunhofer Austria, regarding the results. Only a fraction of the resources bound in old, unused smartphones are currently recovered. The global recycling rate for smartphones is just 7.5%, and in Europe, around 10% of discarded devices are recycled. The majority are either illegally exported or remain in households. At the same time, the EU's dependence on raw materials from abroad is intensifying. For this reason, the EU has set itself the goal of covering 25% of its raw material demand through recycling by 2030. "There are real treasures in our drawers: millions of old smartphones that can either be refurbished for reuse or recycled. Returning your devices not only helps the environment but also gives valuable raw materials a second chance," says refurbed Co-Founder Kilian Kaminski. "Politics and industry must create clear incentives and make investments so that more devices are refurbished, raw materials recovered, and sustainable alternatives promoted. To achieve this, we need better take-back systems to increase recycling rates, clear rules for repairability and longevity, and investments in modern recycling technologies. This way we can collectively reduce e-waste, secure valuable resources, and make a decisive contribution to a functioning circular economy across Europe." Since 2024, refurbed has provided a trade-in service in Ireland, helping minimise e-waste levels and repurpose old tech. refurbed is playing an active role, allowing Irish consumers to recycle their old devices, give them a new purpose and recover the valuable raw materials they contain. The refurbishment process is continuously monitored and refined, setting a higher benchmark for quality in the refurbished tech industry. To date, refurbed has saved over 270,000 tonnesof CO2, 900 tonnes of e-waste, and 94 billion litres of water since its founding in 2017, and has planted over 6.6 million trees.

Properly understood, the imagination is not something you escape to; it's something you draw upon every day to make decisions, understand events, and communicate. This week on HeightsCast, Dr. Matthew Mehan explores the purposes of the imagination and the habits of wit and wisdom that help us insightfully process our world.

China is increasingly using its dominance in supplying the world's critical raw materials as a weapon. Earlier this year, it restricted the export of heavy rare earths. Shortly after, industrial companies across the globe began to struggle. How did China become so dominant? Can Europe break free? And, if so, how? To answer these questions, I'm joined by Joris Teer, analyst at the European Union Institute for Security Studies (EUISS).

Where tariffs bring chaos, ChAI brings cover. In this episode, Robin Merttens speaks with Tristan Fletcher, co-founder and CEO of ChAI, about how his team is using financial market techniques and AI to build insurance products that protect manufacturers from volatile input costs. What began in the world of hedge funds and speculative trading is now helping companies like recyclers and food manufacturers hedge against unpredictable raw material prices. Tristan explains how ChAI is transforming techniques once reserved for professional traders like satellite imagery, shipping data and price forecasting, into insurance-backed protection for real-world businesses. He also shares the story behind ChAI's first deal, the long journey to secure reinsurance capacity and the challenge of winning over regulators. This is an episode about pricing innovation, resilience in turbulent markets and what the insurance industry can do to keep pace with uncertainty. Plus, you'll learn a new word: Eigenzeit—and it might just reshape how you think about timing in insurance. Key Talking Points Democratising financial tools: why ChAI is bringing hedge fund-style analytics to manufacturers Turning speculation into protection: how AI price forecasting powers a new insurance product From cocoa to copper: insuring raw material volatility in food, packaging and recycling sectors Structuring the product: how ChAI created insurance that mirrors price hedging without regulatory red flags Regulatory hurdles: overcoming concerns about market risk and building legal confidence in a new model First deal breakthrough: how ChAI secured capacity from a major US reinsurer and wrote its first risk ESG implications: how the product supports the circular economy and reduces stockpiling The US vs the UK: why American risk carriers moved faster to back the product Market appetite – how volatility and geopolitical shocks like tariffs are driving inbound demand From startup to scale: why ChAI now needs more brokers, insurers and customers on board If you like what you're hearing, please leave us a review on whichever platform you use or contact Robin Merttens on LinkedIn.

You're gonna mess up. You're gonna fumble. You're gonna make choices that feel good at the time and then sit with the aftermath, wondering if you're cut out for any of this. That doesn't mean you suck. It means you're human!And with being human comes discomfort, growth, re-evaluation, hard pivots, quiet grief, and (if you're lucky) a little clarity on the other side. Especially if you're a neurodivergent creative trying to build a business, express yourself, or simply exist in a system that was never designed for your kind of magic.

In this episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, I'm giving my take (to the best of my ability—because I'm not a tariff expert and neither are most of the people chiming in right now) on Trump's gutsy new tariff move. It's the one that's got half the country cheering and the other half clutching their pearls. While the media yells “economic suicide,” I'm here to suggest that this strategy might actually work—but not overnight. We'll talk about the possibility of long-term gain, the reality of short-term discomfort, and the cultural obsession with instant results when what's often required is patience. I will also go over our collective short attention spans and why longer attention spans are needed for understanding complex issues like this. Every answer won't fit in a 15 second soundbite. At the end of the day, we'll have to pray, wait, and see. Some of the smartest plays take time to unfold.—https://noblegoldinvestments.com/learn/gold-and-silver-guide/?utm_campaign=21243613394&utm_source=g&utm_medium=cpc&utm_content=&utm_term=noble%20gold&seg_aprod=&ad_id=698073353663&oid=2&affid=1&utm_source=google&affiliate_source=googleads_brand_bmbc&utm_term=noble%20gold&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADQ2DzJSJ_mi5cJo8dO2FNUs7uNy-&gclid=CjwKCAjwktO_BhBrEiwAV70jXtjSCyioSM2Hz1McTAlR3f8t3KCDDN3-XBWLaIzwJmiEGe0ztxIk5RoCnM0QAvD_BwE

Critical raw materials - like rare earths, cobalt and lithium - play a central role in the energy transition and profoundly influence geopolitical dynamics. Their extraction may also amplify conflict and fragility risks in host countries. In this episode of the Climate Briefing, Ruth and Anna speak to Olivia Lazard (Fellow at Carnegie Europe) and Sophia Kalantzakos (Global Distinguished Professor, Environmental Studies and Public Policy, NYU Abu Dhabi) about the interlinkages between critical raw materials and geopolitics, the challenges associated with extraction, and what a ‘good' strategy for securing future access might look like.
