The performance and reliability of recycled material optical fibers are crucial considerations. It is important to ensure that the recycled materials used meet the required technical specifications and quality standards. By maintaining the necessary performance characteristics, recycled fibers can provide comparable performance to traditional optical fibers. #fiberoptics #efficiency #recycled

We must use Earth's resources more responsibly, starting with eliminating single-use plastics, currently accounting for 30% of the plastics produced. On the other hand plastics are key in durable products, medical technology, in the electrical, construction, furniture and automotive industries. Just think of the huge rotor blades used in wind turbines or, on a smaller scale, glasses, dentures or sportswear! ILF is proud to be involved in innovative projects optimizing the use of resources as well as recycling technologies. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗮 𝗼𝗳 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲𝘀 & 𝗦𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝘀𝗼 𝗲𝘅𝗰𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂? At ILF we want to align all of our services with the 𝗨𝗡 𝗦𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗚𝗼𝗮𝗹𝘀. There are different priorities in the many regions of the world in which we operate. The Global South needs access to affordable energy to develop itself and its industries, while the Global North must lead the way in low-carbon energy systems by introducing new technologies. Bringing all this together, as well as all of our employees from different regions, is both challenging and exciting. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗼𝗶𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗻𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗴𝗮𝘀 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲? Oil will become less important as a source of energy, but not as a feedstock for the chemical industry. Natural gas is a key instrument for rapidly reducing emissions. If we converted all coal-fired power stations and all steel production processes to natural gas, we could save a third of all anthropogenic CO2 emissions. The technology is available today and gas fields can be developed within just a few years. By 2050 we expect worldwide a share of 75% of electricity from renewables, which would be a great development! However, this would account for only 25-30% of the total energy mix. At ILF, we take a broad view of the regions of the world in which we operate, considering all energy sources. We always want to support the most sustainable solutions. #ILFConsultingEngineers #ImprovingQualityOfLife #EngineeringExcellence #Engineering #EarthDay #EarthDay24 #Sustainability #SustainableRessources #SDGs United Nations

From Linear to #CircularMindset ♻️ Almost all production process have a material loss or rejection 🚮, mainly on change overs and last batch process. But at Prysmian Group all "#waste" must be challanged...on how reuse or recycle 🔄 materials at the same time we keep and improve our #quality high standars level? 🤔 Requires a lot on #engineering, strong #cooperation with providers, studies, tests and time investment, but worth it! 👩🏾🔬 Congratulations #PrysmianCostaRica #team for saving over 110 tons waste per year from cable production, reprocessing and reusing rejection of plastic compounds, transforming it again on a high quality raw material! #CircularEconomy is really a great way to contribute with #sustainability & #environment 🌎, be more cost attractive for our clients 💰 and be a more profitable company 📈. #somosprysmian #PrysmianLatAm #linkingthesustainablefuture Juancarlo Carrillo Jorge Ureña Chaves Paulo Franchi Dayan Miguel Quintero Parra Jéssica Muriel de Morais Mónica Gómez Abrahams Eduardo Murillo Villegas Jonnathan Vega Brenes Juan Arias Nikol Castillo Castillo Fiorella Hernandez

Our insights series on the ‘Battery Passport Content Guidance’ continues and we look forward to hosting you for our second webinar on ‘circularity data for the battery passport‘ on 31st May. In this context, our fifth insight today focuses on:    ❓ How are circularity aspects considered for the battery passport?  📢 The circularity potential of batteries is defined significantly at the beginning of the lifecycle, in the design process. While the Battery Regulation does not introduce concrete design principles, it addresses the topic by placing requirements on the batteries’ removability and replaceability. In addition, the Regulation aims to increase the collection and recycling rates of all batteries and the recovery of raw materials.  💬 For the battery passport, four types of circularity information are required: 1️⃣ Recycled and renewable content share: to ensure an increased recovery of battery raw materials, the recycled content share of cobalt, lithium, lead, and nickel is to be specified via the battery passport. The Battery Pass consortium recommends calculating and declaring the pre- and post-consumer shares separately. In addition, the renewable content share is required. 2️⃣ Materials and composition: to enable battery second life operations, information on the general and detailed composition (with restricted data access), hazardous substances and their impact, as well as key symbols and their meaning are to be reported. 3️⃣ Removability/replaceability: to facilitate handling of used or waste batteries, dismantling information (the Battery Pass recommends one manual for the battery removal and one for the disassembly), information on spare parts and suppliers, as well as safety measures are to be accessible via the battery passport.  4️⃣ End-of-life information: to increase collection rates, information on the separate disposal of waste batteries, as well as on take-back and collection points are mandatory for the battery passport. ▶ We will be covering further aspects around this in our webinar on 31st May: Circularity data for the battery passport – An overview on circular design, battery composition, recycled content, and end-of-life information.

The WEEE directive is insufficient for ewaste recycling Ewaste is one of the fastest-growing waste streams in the world. When electrical products and electronic equipment reach the end of their usable life they will often be sent to landfill, where they are expected to rot away and be forgotten. The underlying issue is that most electronic circuit board assemblies are built with glass reinforced epoxy laminates (FR4) which cannot be recycled! The lack of recyclability and reuse means this ewaste goes to landfill, but it will never decompose, resulting in an environmental catastrophe that will last generations.    Read more below 👇 #ElectronicSpecifier #Technology #Engineering #Engineers #Tech #Ewaste #Recycling #ElectricalProducts #ElectronicEquipment #Landfil In2tec Ltd

On the last month, the European Council adopted a new regulation that strengthens #sustainability rules for batteries and waste batteries: "The regulation will regulate the entire life cycle of batteries – from #production to reuse and #recycling – and ensure that they are safe, sustainable and competitive." 🔋💡   👉 Check the link to know more and stay tuned on the Albatross Project H2020 developments to learn about the contribution of the partners to this topic. #greendeal #greenvehicles #technology  #innovation #research #europeancomission #batteries #future
