On 30th November at 2-3pm CET, Innovation Forum hosted a webinar on nature-positive business approaches in partnership with Golden Agri-Resources. This is an audio recording of the webinar.    Faced with what the United Nations calls an ‘unprecedented' decline in biodiversity, businesses are taking action to find solutions to reduce and ultimately reverse human impacts on our ecosystems. Recent initiatives such as the 2022 Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, recommendations from the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) and the Nature Positive Initiative aim to offer a path forward with definitions to guide conservation organisations, businesses and financiers towards a net positive impact on nature. But how can businesses put guidance and solutions into practice, and what steps should be taken to set clear goals and find novel solutions for organisations to contribute to a better future for biodiversity and nature? In this webinar, our expert panel discussed: • How should businesses define terms like nature zero and nature positive to help them measure and manage progress? • What action brands are already taking to create and articulate their nature strategies, and what lessons can be learned for the future to drive measurable change. • Where and how should companies set targets to effectively address a nature-positive future? • The support needed from government, regulators, finance and other stakeholders to achieve change Our panel: • Götz Martin, Head of Sustainability and Strategic Projects, Golden Agri-Resources • John Buchanan, Vice President Sustainable Production, Conservation International • Conor McMahon, Global Net Zero and Nature Lead, Nestlé • Loraiza Davies, Global Sustainability Manager, Land and Biodiversity, GSK The webinar was moderated by Tanya Richard, COO and Head of Stakeholder Engagement at Innovation Forum

Gli impianti eolici offshore galleggianti, che permettono di intercettare il vento anche in aree marine con fondali profondi, hanno iniziato a diffondersi solo negli ultimi anni. Si tratta di una tecnologia che richiede più materiali e infrastrutture degli impianti eolici convenzionali, che da anni vediamo sorgere sulla terraferma e sui fondali marini poco profondi come quelli del mare del nord. Una ricerca del Politecnico di Milano, pubblicata sulla rivista internazionale “Sustainable Production and Consumption”, ha analizzato il bilancio di materia ed energia di un impianto galleggiante al largo della Sicilia. È grazie a questa se oggi disponiamo di numeri precisi e ricavati sul campo. E le notizie sono buone. Ne parliamo con Mario Grosso, professore di Gestione e Trattamento Rifiuti al Politecnico di Milano

A research paper by Politecnico di Milano in the international journal Sustainable Production and Consumption analyses a floating wind farm off the coast of Sicily Offshore wind farms bring environmental benefits throughout their life cycle. This emerges from a study published in the international journal Sustainable Production and Consumption in which researchers from Politecnico di Milano analysed the potential environmental impacts of a floating offshore wind farm undergoing authorisation off the coast of Sicily. What environmental benefits do offshore wind farms bring? "Results show that the environmental impacts of offshore wind farms with floating turbines are mainly associated with the life cycle of the wind turbine and the floating structure, and in particular with steel production", Mario Grosso, professor in Solid Waste Management and Treatment at Politecnico di Milano, explains. "The other phases of the life cycle have much smaller contributions than the procurement phase. The analysis included the phases of procurement of materials, transport of components, assembly and installation with specialised vessels, maintenance during operation, disassembly and end-of-life. "The analysis also included the other components required for building an offshore wind farm, with a particular focus on the electrical system for transmitting the energy produced, in order to assess the contribution of the implementation complexity of offshore installations to the wind farm overall impact", Lucia Rigamonti, professor in Methodologies for Life Cycle Thinking, explains. Results show that comparing 1 GWh of energy taken from the national grid with 1 GWh of energy produced by the wind farm, the overall impacts of wind power are significantly reduced for almost all impact categories analysed: in the 'climate change' category, the benefit is a 92% reduction in impacts, and worsening is only observed in the 'abiotic depletion' category (+95%). Furthermore, this technology would allow to avoid generating energy from fossil fuels, and therefore, as the results show, related investments would be quickly repaid in terms of greenhouse gas emissions and energy, in 2 and 3 years, respectively. "Overall, the results of the analysis provide a rough indication that helps make us aware of the environmental loadings of a renewable electricity generation system and to compare it with other energy sources", Gaia Brussa, researcher at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Politecnico, explains. "However, it must be kept in mind that this is currently a preliminary estimate based on the design choices presented for the scoping phase of the Environmental Impact Assessment. Scientific literature is still insufficient when it comes to life cycle analysis (LCA) of offshore wind farms with large turbines (over 15 MW) installed on floating structures reflecting recent industry developments and current market trends. However, in order to assess their true environmental sustainability, it is important to analyse renewable electricity generation technologies from a life-cycle perspective.

Dr. David Kriebel is an epidemiologist and Professor Emeritus at the University of Massachusetts in Lowell. Dr. Kriebel discusses the known and suspected health risks associated with tattoo inks, tattoos, and the tattoo removal process. As an epidemiologist, he implores scientists to actually conduct a study so we can use that information to help protect people. "Although a number of color additives are approved for use in cosmetics, none are approved for injection into the skin." FDA. Tattoo inks can include untested toxic ingredients in colored synthetic dyes and pigments such as: mercury, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, aluminum, cinnabar, nickel, manganese, acrylic, and more. One question might be, why do consumers feel tattoos are safe? In January of 2022 the European Union banned toxic tattoo inks and investigators in some European countries have begun studying not only the unsafe inks, but also the possibility of long-term health risks of tattoos. Dr. Kriebel is also the Director of the Lowell Center for Sustainable Production, which collaborates with industries, government agencies, unions, and community organizations on the redesign of systems of production to make them healthier and more environmentally sound.FMI see: www.whatmamawants.org

In one way or another, today's disposable hygiene products benefit almost everyone … babies, parents, women, older adults, and more. Protecting the planet for future generations is a goal that an increasing number of companies and consumers are embracing. So, what can we as an industry do to help?For disposable hygiene manufacturers, reducing their carbon footprint takes many forms. Processes, machinery, operating procedures, safety, and cost are among the many factors that can't be overlooked. In Part 2 of this sustainability series, Seif Shaarawy, Bostik's Operations Director, and Luke Burkholder, Technical Account Manager at Bostik, discuss the challenges that come with sustainable production and the steps Bostik has taken toward creating and supporting more sustainable products and operations.Reducing Product Weight Helps to Cut Costs, Material Consumption, and WasteThe four big challenges producers face in reducing the weight of their product are resource management, waste management, societal improvements, and process efficiency. Seif and Luke discuss the importance of the disposable hygiene industry working together to address these challenges. Reducing weight—doing more with less—has been a trend for decades. But now, it's not just about cost and convenience; the very health of the planet is at stake. Substrates, adhesive add-on, and product design are all considered. An obvious target for weight reduction is the core. This can include changing the ratio of SAP to fluff, or using a compound/pre-compound core or channel core (learn more about channel core with our video). Luke concludes this episode by explaining how crucial a role the adhesive plays in enabling weight and waste reduction. Outline of the Episode[03:27] What is the essence of being a responsible manufacturer?[04:46] Reusing is a step up from recycling[09:04] Scope 1, 2, and 3: three categories for emissions[11:57] The transition to LED lighting and smart processes[15:40] Why safety and health of stakeholders must be a top priority[20:59] The challenges that generally come with sustainable production[23:19] A 2018 report by the United States Environmental Protection Agency[26:16] What weight reduction in product design means for producers in the disposable hygiene industry[30:19] The ways you can change the product to take out weight[33:05] What role are adhesives playing in supporting the producers of their core?ResourcesYou can find Seif Shaarawy and Luke Burkholder on LinkedIn, or you can leave them a message through our email at hygiene@bostik.com.To hear the full interview with Seif Shaarawy, watch our webinar ‘Sustainable Production at Bostik'.Get Connected with Attached to HygieneSign up for our newsletter to get emails every two weeks with updates about new episodes, additional materials about what was discussed in the episode, and, starting in early 2022, exclusive content we've created around topics like sustainability, absorbent core, feminine hygiene, and others.

Part of the appeal of producing garments in Peru comes from the homegrown natural fibers, including cotton and alpaca. And while these raw materials are attractive for their quality, they also boast strong sustainability credentials. As Rizal Bragagnini, executive director of the Peru Textiles Exporters Association, explained, these fibers have the added benefit of durability. For instance, in tests, extra-long staple pima cotton retains its color through at least 140 wash cycles. If garments can last and look better for longer, their impact to the environment is lessened. This is the message of Peru Textiles' latest marketing campaign. With the tagline “Find the true value behind Peru Textiles,” the promotion invites buyers and shoppers to explore Peru's sustainability and quality. Peru Textiles is aiming to make its production even more sustainable. In 2020, the exporters association set out to make Peru the most sustainable apparel production market in the world. Bragagnini noted that this quest to be the leader in sustainability is a work in progress. During a recent discussion with Sourcing Journal founder and president Edward Hertzman, Bragagnini and Mario Ocharan, director of export promotion at tourism and trade agency PromPeru, detailed the efforts underway to move Peru's apparel sector in this direction, including renewable energy sources and carbon reduction.

Making a supply chain 100% traceable is no easy task—requiring multiple standards and certifications within the business in order to prepare for the future. Those businesses that jump at the chance to improve their traceability will have a large advantage over their competitors. Despite the advantage, many traditional organizational models are not set up for this transition. Hernan Saenz, Global Head, Performance Improvement Practice at Bain & Company, joins the show to discuss best practices for improving supply chain traceability: - Obsolete Supply Chain Traceability Strategies - Steps to Making a Digitally Traceable Supply Chain - Obstacles to Improving the Supply Chain Traceability - Collaborating on Traceability Efforts Check out the resource below for more information: - Performance Improvement Services at Bain To hear more interviews like this one, subscribe to Conquering Chaos on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred podcast platform.

Durch die Corona-Krise erleben wir 2020 eine neue Normalität. Feste Bestandteile: Home Office, Videostreaming, Online-Shopping. Ende August vermeldete Greenpeace die Ergebnisse einer Studie: Durch wenige Tage Home Office in der Woche lassen sich Millionen Tonnen CO2 einsparen, die sonst durch tägliches Pendeln freigesetzt würden. Und Amazon stellte im März beachtliche 100 000 neue MitarbeiterInnen für ihre Paketzentren ein, um die gesteigerte Nachfrage an Online-Bestellungen zu bearbeiten. Konsum gab und gibt es auch ohne das Internet und neue digitale Geschäftsmodelle. Die Digitalisierung ermöglicht es uns schneller und vielleicht auch unreflektierter zu shoppen. Sie versorgt uns aber auch mit Informationen, die uns unser Leben nachhaltiger gestalten lassen. In diesem Sinne ist die Digitalisierung auch Katalysator für eine smarte grüne Konsumwende.

To fully reduce our carbon emissions and minimize our impact on the planet, it’s important that both small businesses and well-established corporations take action. That includes finding alternatives to supply chains that have huge carbon footprints, reducing production waste and recycling as much as possible. And today’s guest is working on doing exactly that. In this episode of Sustainability Matters Today, I speak with Bruce Tretter, Chief Operating Officer and Co-Owner of VOmax, and Champion of Sustainable Activewear. Established in 1982, VOmax produces high performance sportswear for golf, running, cycling and skiing. VOmax is aiming to become a more sustainable company, which means using recycled or organic fabrics with fewer carbon emissions and organising more local production. In this episode, we discuss the challenges for a company to become sustainable, what sustainability means to VOmax in a marketing context, and how VOmax is also trying to engage younger employees for a more sustainable future.

The Federal Government has decried the continued violation of the new guidelines to check the spread of COVID-19 in the country. The Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Adeniyi Adebayo, expressed government's displeasure on Wednesday at the weekly briefing of the Emergency Operation Centre of the Committee on Sustainable Production and Delivery of Essential Commodities During COVID-19. The minister warned against the backlash of violating guidelines like physical distancing, wearing of face masks in the public, among others.

The organization of consumption and production is a global challenge, which urgently needs to be addressed. How could we achieve a transition to sustainable consumption and production patterns? If everyone on the planet consumed as much as the average Swede, 4 Earths would be needed to sustain the consumption. Even if overall carbon emissions within Swedish borders are decreasing, the consumption-based emission have been more or less the same since 2008. Increased levels of consumption in the West impacts the so-called Global South on multiple levels, since a high share of the production is situated there and raises questions in all three pillars of sustainability – the social, economic and ecologic. The garment industry stands for a higher share of carbon emissions than the aviation and shipping industries combined. Bangladesh is one of the most vulnerable nations to the impact of climate change, at the same time as garment exports stands for almost 12 percent of its GDP and is the world's second largest apparel exporter of western fashion brands. How can we shift to a fair sustainable consumption and production? What challenges are Bangladesh facing in the intersect between growth, development and prosperity, in the light of the Sustainable Development Goals? Speakers: Sanjida Shamsher Elora, Researcher, Swedwatch Alexander Sjöberg, Senior Policy Advisor Sustainable Consumption, Naturskyddsföreningen (the Swedish Society for Nature Conservation) Moderator: Stephanie Esk, Programme Manager, the Swedish Institute of International Affairs (UI) In cooperation with the Museum of World Culture.

How do aquaponics work and how can this be used to support a more sustainable future in agriculture? What are some environmental issues from the medical cannabis industry that we should know, and how can we best support it to move in a healthier direction?   Sharing his wisdom here is Warren Bravo, the co-founder and CEO of Green Relief. You'll hear about how he pivoted from leading his family business to become the largest cement contracting company in Canada to co-establishing his licensed medical cannabis company; how he developed their aquaponic system to be able to scale sustainable production of the plant; how sterile systems like hydroponics compare to aquaponics and soil-based growth; and more. Let's dive in.   HIGHLIGHTS: [7:00] How Warren got involved with the medical cannabis industry and sustainable agriculture. [11:55] Warren: "I learned a long time ago not to sweat over things I can't control." [12:41] What aquaponics are and how they work. [15:35] Kamea: "What do we know about the difference between plants or crops grown from sterile systems like hydroponics compared to ones with rich micro-biotic populations?"

Guest: Professor Björn Johansson, Chalmers University of Technology “The digital factory is our laboratory… [whose] data comes from the real world”. In this episode, Professor Björn Johansson talks about virtual production and digital twins, and shares with us how digital tools (for instance, 3D imaging, discrete event simulation) can help improve the sustainability performance of factories. Björn’s research group aims at improving productivity and the circular-economy performance in not only automotive and aerospace, but also in the maritime, textile and electronics industry. Björn also discussed utilization strategies in research (publishing or patenting?), and the open collaboration pattern between research and academia in Sweden. Björn also remarked how awareness of the production system’s performance and behaviour leads to smarter decisions for sustainability. Answering the tricky question about the huge number of jobs’ displacement because of AI, Björn shares his positive outlook about the future, when industrial performance are optimized, people have new types of jobs and more time for leisure.

Frank Place, Senior Research Fellow, CGIAR Research Program on Policies, Institutions, and Markets (PIM) In 2015-16, the Standing Panel on Impact Assessment commissioned a set of studies to document the adoption and impact of five well-recognized natural resource practices that were developed, adapted, and promoted by CGIAR centers, research programs and its partners. The practices—conservation agriculture, fertilizer tree systems, alternate wetting and drying (AWD), integrated soil fertility management (ISFM), and micro-dosing of fertilizer—were all expected to enjoy large-scale acceptance among smallholder farmers where they were promoted in South Asia, Southeast Asia, and Sub-Saharan Africa. Results have landed and they are sobering. The low adoption rates reported by these studies provide an important reality check on the returns to some natural resources management (NRM) research investments, and suggests the need to rethink the impact pathways through which NRM research is expected to contribute to sustainable development outcomes—outcomes that nonetheless depend acutely on changes in the way we manage scarce natural resources. This policy seminar provides insights from economics, integrated landscape strategies, and geospatial analytics to recommend ways forward for NRM research that most effectively contribute to the development of sustainable production systems, while also highlighting innovative methods and tools to evaluate adoption and impact more precisely.

Chemistry is a fact of Earth Life, not a problem in itself. The increasingly persistent hitch is with the thousands of synthetic chemicals routinely used in making clothing, cosmetics, household products, electronic devices - even children's toys - and the toxic chemical soup in which we are all increasingly steeped. Ken Geiser's new book, Chemicals Without Harm - Policies for a Sustainable World (2015, MIT Press), details issues associated with today's largely unregulated chemical use in all areas of manufacturing, especially in the U.S. More importantly, he lays out examples of policies and practices by which the chemical industry itself is moving toward a 21st Century "green chemistry" ethic. Emphasis: the power of consumer awareness and purchasing choices to drive policy and practice changes! Ken Geiser  speaks and writes from depth of experience, as Professor Emeritus of Work Environment at the University of Massachusettes Lowell, founder of the Lowell Center for Sustainable Production, and as a Fellow of the U S Green Building Council, addressing Healthy Materials. He describes needed shifts in strategy, away from merely trying to control levels of exposure through regulation, and toward developing and adopting alternatives to hazardous chemicals, by applying sustainable values and design.
