Energy & Clean Tech - Issue #15

Every year on March 18th, Global Recycling Day is observed to help recognise and celebrate the importance of recycling in protecting our planet’s future. ♻️

The goal is to inspire people to be inventive rather than wasteful when it comes to all resources used, at the end of each use cycle, try to at least recycle!

The theme of Global Recycling Day 2022 is to celebrate “recycling fraternity” – those who put themselves on the frontline to collect waste and recycling during the multiple lockdowns.

Enjoy!

With its HQ in Hong Kong, Sustainable Office Solutions (SOS) works with businesses to donate, repurpose and recycle office furniture. SOS, which has worked with EY and a number of MNCs across Singapore and Hong Kong, conducts a thorough assessment to create a tailored plan for the best reuse and redistribution solutions. Through their unique combination of redistribution, donation and recycling over 1,000,000 kg of carbon emissions have been saved in less than 12 months! By introducing a mechanism to close the loop, the fast growing company furthers circularity in the real estate and construction industries.

Israeli startup Zohar CleanTech develops ZoharX, a comprehensive waste disposal facility that treats unsegregated residential garbage. The on-site solution uses thermal gasification to convert waste into energy. It leaves behind a by-product, Slag, that finds application in sustainable construction. Zohar Cleantech’s solution thus overcomes the challenge of sustainably treating huge amounts of municipal solid waste (MSW) in urban localities.
