This document discusses the growth of the circular economy and its potential business implications. It analyzes 120 case studies of circular pioneers to identify 5 emerging circular business models: circular supply chain, recovery and recycling, product life extension, sharing platforms, and product as a service. Digital technologies are enabling entirely new ways to access and understand product use and aid in efficiency. Hybrid technologies enable moving physical objects between value chains with digital services. Engineering technologies enable new types of resources and product designs. The circular economy represents an opportunity for dramatic environmental and resource efficiency gains, unprecedented transparency, and growth beyond resource constraints.
Accenture Chemicals Global Consumer Sustainability Survey 2019accenture
See the key findings from the Accenture Chemicals Global Consumer Sustainability Survey. Conducted in April 2019, the purpose of the survey was to identify consumer purchasing and consumption habits regarding different types of packaging and products, as well as consumer views related to recycling and reuse of materials. The survey included 6,000 consumers, ages 18 to 70, in 11 countries across Asia, Europe and North America. Read the full report at www.accenture.com/chemicalreaction.

Many of the major disruptions in media and communications have been driven by nimble, entrepreneurial companies, coming out of nowhere to completely decimate established business models. Companies that spin into existence to solve one problem or commercialize a single idea can scale almost instantly if they find a solution that sticks. That’s what’s happening all over the marketing industry today: hundreds of tech-savvy startups are reinventing business from the bottom up.
A typology of clean technology commercialization acceleratorsIan McCarthy
Accelerators are a type of incubation program that are concerned with attracting, supporting and developing new ventures. Although there is significant enthusiasm for accelerators and their potential benefits, there is limited research on how their core capabilities can vary. In response, we develop a typology of accelerator capabilities taking into account their strategy, governance, business model, operations and finance. To develop the typology we carried out a benchmark analysis of six clean energy commercialization accelerators (CECAs). From this we verified and illustrated the dimensions of our typology and identified four types of accelerator capabilities: R&D focused, technology enabled, market enabled, and network enabled. We then use a seventh accelerator case to illustrate how our typology can be used to describe, understand and prescribe appropriate capabilities for a CECA. We conclude our paper by explaining the research and practice implications of our research.

The chemicals industry may be one of the most active sectors when it comes to collaborating and partnering, particularly in (open) innovation models. However, sector-wide industry data from eRevalue on what chemical companies report on in terms of SDGs showed that reporting on goals 9 (industry, innovation and infrastructure) and 17 (partnerships for the goals) stays far behind.
Are chemical players being too modest, or take this for granted? We have selected a number of partnerships that illustrate how the industry collaborates in order to create impact across a range of the sector’s most material Sustainable Development Goals.

Circular Economy is here to stay. From an environmental aspect its the right thing to do, but more important there is an enormous economic value to capture. Reducing risks of price volatility, creating better customer relationships, capturing value over the lifespan of a product are a couple of advantages that Circular Economy can deliver.
The key technologies and capability shifts that are supporting a transformation from a linear to a circular business model are based on an extensive research by Accenture among 125 circular pioneers. The results were presented at the CircularEconomy conference in Rotterdam. For questions: Feel free to reach out!

See the Whole Story: The Case for a Visualization PlatformEric Kavanagh
Seeing is believing, which is why data visualization continues to play a major role in helping businesses understand their data. But there's more than meets the eye. Underneath that stimulating surface layer, some data environments are much more organized -- and thus reliable -- than others. The key to success? Taking a platform approach to address the entire end-to-end process of delivering governed, scalable analytics.
Register for this episode of The Briefing Room to hear veteran Analyst Dr. Robin Bloor explain why a platform approach to visual analytics enables the kind of governance that today's organizations need. He'll be briefed by Dan Brault of Qlik, who will showcase his company's analytics platform which was built from the ground up with the design point of delivering analytics to everyone in an organization. He'll stress the importance of governance, trust and scalability.

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.
"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.
