Get Wasted, Session 1: Waste to Wealth - The Circular Economy Advantage - 01...GA Circular
This is the slide deck presented at our 1st event of a pressing Series on 'Circular Economy & Waste Management' in Asia.
8 million tonnes of plastic leak into the oceans each year, and more than 80% is from Asia! If we don't act now, there will be more plastic in the oceans than fish by 2050. It is time for individuals, companies and governments to rethink waste, especially in Asia. Today's linear ‘take, make, dispose’ economic model relies on large quantities of cheap, easily accessible materials and energy, and is a model that is reaching its physical limits. Today 80–120 billion USD of plastic materials is lost to the economy every year (plastic which is used just one time and then incinerated, landfilled or leaked into ocean). This is not just a business loss, but one of the biggest environmental challenges of our time.
An attractive and viable alternative that governments and businesses are exploring is the Circular Economy. This session - specifically focusing on plastic - brought insights from global business leaders, to social entrepreneurs and waste pickers who are all beginning to see waste not as trash, but as a resource. In emerging countries, managing waste has even become a solution to uplift people out of poverty. As the issue keeps growing, new regulations (such as Extended Producer Responsibility) have started to come into effect across Asia, making brands & producers responsible for recycling their post-consumer waste. Our speakers shared what it implies for big brands and each of us.
This document discusses the circular economy and creating common ground around it. It mentions one planet architecture, systems innovation, process innovation, technical innovation, materials, energy, redesigning for the short and long term. Examples discussed include DESSO's business case, the Venlo C2C lab, the Circle Economy Platform in the Netherlands, and partnerships between innovators and companies like Philips and Steelcase. The document outlines fundamentals of ecology, thermodynamics, and biology that relate to the circular economy. It poses questions about whether to ask inconvenient or innovative questions and preparing for the future instead of old models.
Get Wasted, Session 3: The Dark Side of the Digital Age, E-Waste - 30/05/17GA Circular
This is the slide deck presented at our 3rd event of a pressing Series on 'Circular Economy & Waste Management' in Asia.
Globally, about 64.5 million tonnes of e-waste is generated annually of which, only around 40% is processed properly. Asia is the world's largest contributor of e-waste - more than Europe and America together. The average e-waste generation per capita in Singapore is one of the highest in the region of Asia, of approximately 19.95kg.
This is why we held our third event on e-waste. The purpose of the event series is to understand the issue, see what different players can do (companies, governments, individuals) and see how we can collaborate. There were many invigorating discussions on how we can tackle the issue of e-waste at our event.
The document presents 10 ideas that could change the world: 1) Bending light for ultra efficient LEDs and flexible screens, 2) Converting trash to energy using cow dung power plants, 3) Using fungi to process waste and convert materials, 4) Transportation without roads, 5) Harvesting rainwater, 6) Harnessing wind power using kites, 7) Alternative models of problem solving like Google's 20% time, 8) Interactive education that doesn't kill creativity, 9) Rethinking what defines success, and 10) Advances in electric cars allowing over 100km per charge.
Get Wasted, Session 2: Plastic on our Plates - 04/04/17GA Circular
This is the slide deck presented at our 2nd event of a pressing Series on 'Circular Economy & Waste Management' in Asia.
Our 2nd Get Wasted Session : "Plastics On Our Plates" is dedicated to one of our most pressing issues: the 8 million tonnes of plastic leaking into the oceans every year. Over 32% of all plastic packaging produced ends up in the oceans or open dump sites. Recent research showed that there are already more than 5 trillion pieces of plastics in the world's oceans, most of them are microplastics. If we continue with "business as usual" we will have more plastic in the oceans than fish by 2050.
Plastic is certainly not evil (it's critical for medical advancements & many other areas of our life), but it can definitely be better managed - e.g. through Circular Economy thinking and systems. This is the purpose of the event series: to understand the issue, see what different players can do (companies, governments, individuals) and see how we can collaborate.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17Celine George
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.
