Applied CleanTech presentation on equitynet - November 2014Applied CleanTech
Changing the Way We Handle Wastewater – at Applied CleanTech, we developed a unique, innovative solution that creates a usable and valuable product from wastewater. Instead of producing sludge, waste water treatment plants (WWTPs) now manufacture Recyllose - a recycled cellulose-based product from wastewater. Our technology significantly reduces sludge formation by extracting cellulose out of raw wastewater, while saving costs and energy to WWTPs throughout the entire process, as well as reducing GHG emissions and carbon footprint.

Is it wise and value-adding to announce specific bold sustainability goals without necessarily having a play-by-play road map for how you will get there? How does the value of intentionality manifest itself and how do big goals inspire big ideas? How does the voluntary release of total environmental impacts across the supply chain, operations and portfolio of products add brand value to a global company? Are the benefits of such transparency a no-brainer?

The perceived expense of green IT has caused many to
question its prospects during the current economic crisis.
While it is true that purchasers may opt for cheaper,
less energy-effi cient products, we believe that the core
principles of sustainability and resource management
have never been more relevant and are confi dent that
2009 will be a breakthrough year in sustainable business
practices.
This report provides an overview of the International Institute for Environment and Development's carbon emissions for 2022/23, and details plans to reduce its impact across our operations.

As an organisation IIED is committed to becoming a net-zero organisation, aligning with science-based targets and reflecting short- and long-term emission reduction targets, which will be monitored annually.
How easy we find it to push aside or forget a near miss incident. This is because of our ability to rationalize that nothing serious happened. But if we took the time and closely investigated each near miss, we would find a message telling us there’s much more to it.

Anyone who spends significant time out in the heat, including your employees, needs to stay vigilant for signs of an HRI. Here are the big four, and what you and your crew members need to be on the lookout for.
It may seem like the least of your concerns on the job, but in reality, dust can cause major health problems for workers. Understand these tiny particles before they turn in to a big problem.
The taste of food and beverages can be dictated by the cleanliness of your water. Issues such as sediment, chlorine and hardness are often to blame but can be easily prevented.
Each day in the U.S., accidents involving ladders cause an estimated 2,000 injuries requiring emergency medical attention and 1 death per day. Keep yourself and your workers safe by reviewing safety measures before you make your next climb.
Many work situations routinely rely upon chemicals to get the work done. But just as important as the safe handling of these chemicals, is their safe storage. If not stored properly, chemicals can cause a fire, explosion or personal injury. In order to prevent workplace chemical-related accidents, facilities must follow common sense and real safe storage procedures.
Getting your measurements correct can mean all the difference in shipping costs. Get the boxes you want and the packaging solutions you need at hpproducts.com.
Your hands are the most important tool you have. Still each year over 16 million people suffer hand injuries from industrial related accidents. Over 250,000 of these injuries are serious and often disabling injuries. This represents 25% of all industrial injuries.
Preparation for hazards and respect for this powerful energy source are a must. Even seasoned electricians need reminders on the basic rules of electrical safety. Here are a few to keep in mind.

Climate Change All over the World .pptxsairaanwer024
Climate change refers to significant and lasting changes in the average weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It encompasses both global warming driven by human emissions of greenhouse gases and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns. While climate change is a natural phenomenon, human activities, particularly since the Industrial Revolution, have accelerated its pace and intensity
"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.
UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.
Characterization and the Kinetics of drying at the drying oven and with micro...Open Access Research Paper
The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.

2. Cleaning for Health and Environment
• In 2010, we began our tracking our
sustainability journey with the
Sustainability Dashboard Tool,
an advanced reporting system
that increases in value over time by
allowing users to track levels of
resource consumption against
their own targets and goals.
• Environmental stewardship and
sustainable practices have clear
benefits to building occupants and
our planet. We operate our
organization in the same manner
in which we recommend to our
clients.
We lead by example.
Let us tell you
about our efforts.
3. Our Sustainability Dashboard
At HP Products, sustainable practices make good business sense.
We tracked our progress and can show you our savings*.
*
*In March 2013, we
brought on 20 new high
efficiency trucks. This
caused a very high truck
maintenance fee in March
and a low fee in April.
*Note: The data in this presentation reflects
the progress and savings recognized at our
headquarters in Indianapolis, IN.
4. Our Sustainability Efforts
We are saving money and reducing our environmental impact.
At our Indianapolis
facility, we use the
same products that we
supply our clients.
With 20,000 different
products to choose
from, 10% of which are
green, we can make
the right choices for our
facility and environment.
5. Revolution Bags – With 100% post-
consumer waste and a price competitive
to virgin plastic bags, this is a win-win.
Philips LED Lamps – We will be
retrofitting our facility with LED lamps
and look forward to reporting on our
electricity savings.
The Sustainability Dashboard – We
can’t manage what we don’t measure,
and the Dashboard helps us tell our
story with quantifiable results that prove
our efforts are paying off.

Electricity Report
Every day HP Products uses new technologies to reduce
electricity consumption.
This translates into a
200,000 kWh
savings per year.
Compared to our baseline year of 2010,
we saved 16% on electricity spend and
consumed 9% less electricity in 2013.
10. We worked hard to reduce this cost by:
• Trialing truck side skirts.
• Increasing minimum order size for a delivery.
• Delivering products 4 times a week rather than
5 times a week.
• Maintaining a comprehensive maintenance
program to ensure efficient vehicles.
