Infographic - Towards a sustainable, circular,
European battery supply chain
The problem with batteries is that making them is not very
good for the environment. They use a lot of new materials,
and when batteries get old and are thrown away, they can
harm the environment because they contain dangerous
substances.
But now, the people who make the rules in Europe have
come up with a plan to make batteries better for the
environment. They want to make sure that all companies
follow the same rules, so it's fair for everyone. And this will
also help to make Europe better at making batteries than
other countries, which is very good for our economy.
GREENWASHING IN THE
FASHION INDUSTRY (REPORT)
The fashion industry is overfowing with labels,
initiatives, and certifcation programs all trying to make
it more environmentally friendly. These programs serve
two purposes for the brands. They are partially a
genuine efort to be sustainable, but they also allow the
brands to appear more environmentally responsible,
even if they aren't doing much for the environment.
This
report
investigated
whether
these
labels,
initiatives, and certifcation programs are doing a good
job and helping to reduce the harm caused by the
fashion industry. The results showed that most of these
programs make consumers believe that their textiles
are certifed as sustainable, but they actually just make
it seem like they're better for the environment.
DESIGNERS ELIMINATING WASTE
FOR A CIRCULAR ECONOMY
As the concept of the circular economy has become more
widely accepted as an attractive way forward, companies
around the world have been rethinking the way they
design, make, and remake their products.
Clothes are an everyday necessity, and for many an
important aspect of self-expression. Yet the way we
make and use our clothes is very wasteful and
polluting.
