The document discusses the circular economy and the need to move away from the traditional take-make-dispose model. It notes that Finland wastes 330-460 million kg of still edible food annually and that the paper and pulp industry has 220-240 million euros in potential growth from better utilizing waste streams. The circular economy aims to eliminate waste, improve process efficiency, and create better value cycles by adopting strategies like industrial symbiosis, reverse logistics, and repair/remanufacturing. Companies are also shifting away from selling products and towards selling services to keep resources in use for longer.

Anne Raudaskoski: Circular Economy - What goes around comes around
The document discusses the circular economy and the need to move from a take-make-dispose model to one that is more circular. It notes that Finland wastes 330-460 million kg of still edible food annually and that the paper and pulp industry has 220-240 million euros in waste streams that could be utilized. Globally, $1 trillion worth of materials are wasted every year. The circular economy prioritizes eliminating waste, improving process efficiency, and creating better value cycles. Companies are exploring new business models like renting, leasing, and service-based models instead of just product sales. One company's goal is to eliminate any negative environmental impacts by 2020 through circular-economy thinking in their strategic vision and
Beaumont PR RElease I
Beaumont Solar, a solar developer and engineering company in New Bedford, MA, was named the 10th largest clean energy company in Massachusetts by the Boston Business Journal annual ranking. As the only solar developer in the top 10, this recognition underscores Beaumont Solar's work and commitment to its commercial, industrial, agricultural, and municipal customers over its history of over 200 projects and 35 MW of solar deployed. Headquartered in New Bedford, Beaumont Solar has significantly contributed to the city's solar footprint and status as the city with the most solar per capita installed capacity in the state.
PLACING THE BIO-ECONOMY IN THE CONTEXT OF THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY
1) A circular economy is a new, regenerative economic model that focuses on material flows in closed loops. However, there is a need to also consider social aspects and redesign systems and relationships, not just products.
2) While the concept of a circular economy is gaining consensus, the "honeymoon" of novel ideas is over and more work needs to be done to develop sustainable solutions for hundreds of years.
3) Transitioning to a circular economy requires systemic change across all sectors and levels through approaches like biomimicry, design for the environment, and creating enabling conditions for circular businesses.
what goes around comes around: an analysis of del.icio.us as social space
This document summarizes a research study about how users perceive social presence on the bookmarking site Delicious. It examines how factors like subscribing to other users, having mutual subscriptions, returning other users' bookmarks, and annotating bookmarks may relate to each other and influence user behavior. The study found that perceiving social presence through the network correlates with increased tagging, subscriptions and returning of bookmarks. Returning bookmarks in particular was found to be a subtle way to reinforce social presence.

Resource Efficiency - The new watchword of sustainability
There’s a growing global consensus that we’re at a crossroads on the environment. Not only do we face the increasingly urgent challenge of climate change, but we are also witnessing unprecedented demands on energy and fuel, water and material resource scarcity, huge population and life expectancy growth, concerns about food security, and a growing consumerism in the East that is putting an added strain on the global store of raw materials.
Resource productivity improvements could satisfy nearly 30% of demand by 2030.
Recent rises in global GDP and inroads into tackling poverty have largely been achieved by increasing economic growth. But the resource- dependent models that have allowed this to happen can no longer be sustained. In the past, increases in productivity have often come through more efficient use of labour, but the opportunity for further gains here is limited. To continue to make progress we need to squeeze more out of the resources at our disposal.
‘Resource efficiency’ will become the new watchword of sustainability. Accenture and the World Economic Forum recently produced a report looking at how to make consumption more sustainable by decoupling growth from environmental impact. They suggested that $2 trillion manufacturers of products that worth of economic output could be at risk by 2030 if major global economies fail to respond to shortages in the supply of just one resource - iron (and, more importantly, the steel that comes from it). This demonstrates the scale of the challenge we are up against. Accenture and the WEF conclude that ‘the need for rapid action to shift towards a resource-efficient economy is high’ - and that despite some successes to date, ‘change is now. More positively, greater resource efficiency also creates a business opportunity; it improves productivity, reduces costs and enhances competitiveness. If companies are less dependent on the availability of certain raw materials, they are less vulnerable to supply fluctuations and hikes in prices. This in turn means they can offer customers a more reliable supply of their products.

JWT: The Circular Economy (June 2014)
Among some of the world’s top corporate leaders, there’s a growing understanding that traditional business models—built on the presumption of unlimited and cheap natural resources—must be reworked for 21st century realities. The circular economy represents a markedly different way of doing business, replacing established practices like planned obsolescence with new approaches to generating profits. This report examines how brands from Puma and Ford to Ikea and Starbucks are becoming more circular, why this concept is gaining more adherents now and implications for brands. The circular economy is an important topic not only because the approach is far better for the planet but also because tapping into its principles may well be essential to long-term competitiveness.

Cleaning Up Our Act
The NSW Government is developing a 20-Year Waste Strategy to address the growing waste problem in NSW. Waste generation is expected to increase from over 21 million tonnes annually currently to 31 million tonnes by 2040. The strategy aims to make the waste system sustainable, reliable and affordable by transitioning NSW to a circular economy. Direction 1 of the strategy focuses on generating less waste by avoiding waste creation and keeping materials in use longer through options like statewide targets, product design requirements, awareness campaigns, and regulatory safeguards. The government is seeking public feedback on these options and directions.
Sustainability in FMCG

Circularity and the SDGs: Pathways to a future possible?
This document discusses the unsustainability of current global resource use and economic systems. It notes that global material extraction has more than doubled since 1970 while material productivity has stagnated in recent years. This growing resource use is putting pressure on the environment and liquidating natural wealth. Transitioning to a circular economy and lifestyles within a 1.5 degree warming limit will require major innovation away from resource scarcity and reinventing economics to prioritize a healthy planet. Businesses ask for tools to measure and improve their sustainability performance in support of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Is Agile dead? It depends on what you mean by 'Agile'. If you mean that the organizations are not getting the promised benefits because they were focusing too much on the team-level agile "ways of working" instead of systemic global improvements -- then we are in agreement. It is a misunderstanding of Agility that led us down a dead-end. At Org Topologies, we see bright sparks -- the signs of the 'second wave of Agile' as we call it. The emphasis is shifting towards both in-team and inter-team collaboration. Away from false dichotomies. Both: team autonomy and shared broad product ownership are required to sustain true result-oriented organizational agility. Org Topologies is a package offering a visual language plus thinking tools required to communicate org development direction and can be used to help design and then sustain org change aiming at higher organizational archetypes.
From Concept to reality : Implementing Lean Managements DMAIC Methodology for...
The Ready-Made Garments (RMG) industry in Bangladesh is a cornerstone of the economy, but increasing costs and stagnant productivity pose significant challenges to profitability. This study explores the implementation of Lean Management in the Sampling Section of RMG factories to enhance productivity. Drawing from a comprehensive literature review, theoretical framework, and action research methodology, the study identifies key areas for improvement and proposes solutions.
Through the DMAIC approach (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control), the research identifies low productivity as the primary problem in the Sampling Section, with a PPH (Productivity per head) of only 4.0. Using Lean Management techniques such as 5S, Standardized work, PDCA/Kaizen, KANBAN, and Quick Changeover, the study addresses issues such as pre and post Quick Changeover (QCO) time, improper line balancing, and sudden plan changes.
The research employs regression analysis to test hypotheses, revealing a significant correlation between reducing QCO time and increasing productivity. With a regression equation of Y = -0.000501X + 6.72 and an R-squared value of 0.98, the study demonstrates a strong relationship between the independent variables (QCO downtime and improper line balancing downtime) and the dependent variable (productivity per head).
The findings suggest that by implementing Lean Management practices and addressing key productivity inhibitors, RMG factories can achieve substantial improvements in efficiency and profitability. The study provides valuable insights for practitioners, policymakers, and researchers seeking to enhance productivity in the RMG industry and similar manufacturing sectors.

留信认证全称全国留学生信息服务网认证,隶属于北京中科院。①留信认证门槛条件更低,费用更美丽,并且包过,完单周期短,效率高②留信认证虽然不能去国企,但是一般的公司都没有问题,因为国内很多公司连基本的留学生学历认证都不了解。这对于留学生来说,这就比自己光拿一个证书更有说服力,因为留学学历可以在留信网站上进行查询!
B.为什么我们提供的毕业证成绩单具有使用价值？
查询留服认证是国内鉴别留学生海外学历的唯一途径，但认证只是个体行为，不是所有留学生都操作，所以没有办理认证的留学生的学历在国内也是查询不到的，他们也仅仅只有一张文凭。所以这时候我们提供的和学校颁发的一模一样的毕业证成绩单，就有了使用价值。

A.为什么留学生需要操作留信认证?
留信认证全称全国留学生信息服务网认证,隶属于北京中科院。①留信认证门槛条件更低,费用更美丽,并且包过,完单周期短,效率高②留信认证虽然不能去国企,但是一般的公司都没有问题,因为国内很多公司连基本的留学生学历认证都不了解。这对于留学生来说,这就比自己光拿一个证书更有说服力,因为留学学历可以在留信网站上进行查询!
B.为什么我们提供的毕业证成绩单具有使用价值？
查询留服认证是国内鉴别留学生海外学历的唯一途径但认证只是个体行为不是所有留学生都操作所以没有办理认证的留学生的学历在国内也是查询不到的他们也仅仅只有一张文凭。所以这时候我们提供的和学校颁发的一模一样的毕业证成绩单就有了使用价值。娃拒绝父亲送说往车上一躺就等着下车决无丢失的道理有手机在身联系也方便再说他都岁了还有大半车的小伙伴相伴他不怕在父亲千叮咛万嘱咐中山娃依依不舍地爬上车朝窗外不住地挥手别了父亲别了父亲的城别了我的暑假生活我的城市生活望着窗外挥舞的大手还有那张微驼的背一向坚强的山娃禁不住泪如雨下当我坐下来想写这封信时“感恩两字在我脑海中回旋很幸运我有这样的机会能将埋在心底深深的感激之情得以表达从婴儿的“哇哇坠地到哺育听

All the Small Things - XP2024 Bolzano/Bozen
Originally presented at XP2024 Bolzano
While agile has entered the post-mainstream age, possibly losing its mojo along the way, the rise of remote working is dealing a more severe blow than its industrialization.
In this talk we'll have a look to the cumulative effect of the constraints of a remote working environment and of the common countermeasures.
