This low impact is achieved in several ways: by limiting the packaging waste created; by using materials which are recyclable or biodegradable; and by using renewable energy during production (such as solar, hydro or wind energy). The ultimate goal of green packaging is to encourage businesses ...
While most of the world still runs on dirty fossil fuels, Costa Rica has generated nearly all of its electricity from renewable sources of energy for nearly a decade. For comparison, the US generates just over 20 percent of its electricity from renewable sources. Costa Rica made global headline...
By 2050, it is expected that more than 30 percent of China’s population will be aged 60 years and older, resulting in the significantly increasing consumption of health food products. Increasing levels of education and an internet savvyChinese middle classare additional factors of growth. ...
The energy transition is in its early stages. The production and consumption of energy accounts for more than 85 percent of global CO2 emissions. So the adoption of low-emission technologies (including solar and wind power and electric vehicles) and of a broader low-emission energy system is ...
China, according to a survey about sustainable consumption, said they aimed tobuy less fast fashion. But, according toThe State of Fashion 2025 report, there’s a critical gap between action and intention. While 46 percent of UK shoppers say they avoid buying fast fashion, more than half ...
A deep cycle battery is a lead acid battery designed to provide a steady amount of current over a long period. Jasmin Merdan / Getty Images Deep cycle batteries and standard lead-acid batteries are both pivotal in the world of energy storage, powering everything from vehicles to renewable en...
Most concentrated solar power technologies will have an efficiency somewhere between 7 and 25 percent. To compare this to the electricity conversion efficiencies of other renewable energy technologies, wind turbines can achieve up to 59 percent efficiency, and hydropower systems can have efficiencies of...
Bioenergy is a huge global industry.According to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), “About three-quarters of the world’s renewable energy use involves bioenergy.” Moreover, it “accounted for about 10 percent of total final energy consumption and 1.9 percent of global...
