Keeping its promise to progressively contribute towards a cleaner and greener planet, India’s largest global flexible packaging solution company Uflex has rolled out natural resource conservation initiatives
Indian construction industry is growing at a rate of 9.2% as against the world average of 5.5%.
Construction by nature is not an eco-friendly activity. Construction, renovation and demolition activities lead to the formation of waste.
Growth in construction activities generates construction waste which is fast becoming a serious environmental problem with deadly
consequences. Most of the construction and demolition, waste in our country are not recycled but end up in landfills occupying valuable
land.
The promotion of environmental management and the mission of sustainable development have exerted the pressure demanding for
the adoption of proper methods to protect the environment across all industries including construction.
Construction waste recycling reduces the demand up on new resources. Cuts down the cost and effort of transport and production. Use
waste which would otherwise be lost to land fill sites.

Recovery and resilience after floods in Pakistan - November 2014Magnus Wolfe Murray
Really heavy rains for no more than 7 days in central Pakistan in September 2012 nearly 500,000 homes were completely destroyed, leaving almost 3.5m homeless and destitute. Most of these people had barely recovered from floods in August 2010. I am proud to say that DFID (UK tax payers money) has been the largest donor year on year in shelter, agriculture recovery and water-sanitation across this area, reaching almost a million people. I have started to include photos of these amazing people, because they are just that, and so inspiring and positive, always.

About Potato, The scientific name of the plant is Solanum tuberosum (L).Christina Parmionova
The potato is a starchy root vegetable native to the Americas that is consumed as a staple food in many parts of the world. Potatoes are tubers of the plant Solanum tuberosum, a perennial in the nightshade family Solanaceae. Wild potato species can be found from the southern United States to southern Chile
Synopsis (short abstract) In December 2023, the UN General Assembly proclaimed 30 May as the International Day of Potato.
Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.
Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.Christina Parmionova
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.

2. • What is it?
term can be collectively used for fuels used in vehicles (2-, 4- Wheelers Etc.) (Petrol,
diesel)
• How it is used Today?
As the term itself suggest it is used as fuels for vehicles
• How are WE wasting it?
We are unnecessarily using vehicles for small distance.
Also Individual having Cars use it even for travelling alone
which can actually be avoided
• What can be done to change the situation
Emphasis on walking
Not by using vehicles unnecessarily
By doing Car pooling
3. • What is it?
term can be collectively used for all the electric devices used in homes, industries and
elsewhere.
• How it is used Today?
Electronic items find a variety of use in day to day life in homes and in industries and many
other places.
• How are WE wasting it?
As E-waste (All the electric run devices when taken out from use becomes E-waste). The
potential around the recyclability of electrical equipment
has not yet been much traversed thus an indirect wastage.
• What can be done to change the situation?
The potential of recyclability should be traversed
Any electrical equipment must not be obseleted
until no possibility of further use.
4. Electrical Energy (Electricity)
• What is it?
Electricity is the set of physical phenomena associated with the presence and flow of
electric charge. Electrical currents exist due to electricity.
• How it is used Today?
It is generated in many ways in power plant, from there electricity reaches our homes after
long journey through transmission lines and we use it to run various electric devices.
• How are WE wasting it?
A huge amount of electricity is getting wasted worldwide due to unnecessary use
(running) of various electrical devices at home which is not only a waste of money and natural
resources but it is also hugely harming the environment courtesy of the
process of generation of the same.
• What can be done to change the situation ?
Wastage in this way of electricity is not at all a good thing and steps
should be initiated by every individual on his personal level to avoid this
as much as possible.
5. • What is it?
Paper is a thin material produced by pressing together moist fibers, typically
cellulose pulp derived from wood, rags or grasses, and drying them into flexible sheets.
• How it is used Today?
Paper is a versatile material with many uses the most common being for writing and
printing.
• How are WE wasting it?
More wastage of paper occurs indirectly rather than directly. Until recent times a lot of
paper was being used in what is referred to as paperwork in various institutions.
• What can be done to change the situation
The process of reducing this indirect wastage has been
already initiated through the rising concept of digitalization.
This good work must go on.
6. Water
(Only 1% of water is actually available for human use on earth)
• What is it?
Water is a transparent fluid which forms the world's streams, lakes, oceans and rain, and is
the major constituent of the fluids of living things.
• How it is used Today?
Water finds dozens of uses all over the world from its use for the purpose to drinking to
watering plants (crops), washing vehicles, clothes, utensils to use for brushing our teeth’s.
• How are WE wasting it?
A lot of water is getting wasted daily indirectly through various ways including drinking water
being used for washing vehicles to unnecessary running of taps during various things.
• What can be done to change the situation
Unnecessary running of water from taps must be stopped.
Provisions must be taken by one and all for storing rainwater
and recycling water (at least) for use for non-potable purposes
washing cars.
7. Clothing
(use them or let others use)
• What is it?
Clothing is fiber and textile material worn on the body.
• How it is used Today?
Clothes find a major use as a material (thing) worn on the body. Other uses include use as
cleaning material etc.
• How are WE wasting it?
Making of clothes is a quite long process. It has been observed that a huge amount
of clothing material is getting wasted to due people
obseleting it’s use very early whereas it can be still
used ……….
• What can be done to change the situation ?
……….for the purpose of cleaning an or else they can be
donated so that at least other people can use them (primarily)
people who can’t afford much of purchase of clothing material.
……….
8. Bamboo
• What is it?
Bamboo is a tribe of flowering perennial evergreen plants in the grass family Poaceae, subfamily
Bambusoideae, tribe Bambuseae.
• How it is used Today?
Bamboo is used in Chinese medicine for treating infections and healing.
Bamboo, like true wood, is a natural composite material with a high strength-to-weight ratio useful for
structures.
Bamboo fiber has been used to make paper in China since early times. A high-quality, handmade paper is still
produced in small quantities. Coarse bamboo paper is still used to make spirit money in many Chinese
communities
Bamboo has traditionally been used to make a wide range of everyday utensils, particularly in Japan. Several
manufacturers offer bamboo bicycles, surfboards, snowboards, and skateboards. Due to its flexibility, bamboo is
also used to make fishing rods.
• Aspect and Prospect as Eco-friendly material
Bamboo is a very fast growing crop (plant) thus opening up
Possibilities of higher yields(thus increasing the amount available for use )
and also serving the purpose of preventing soil erosion.
9. • What is it?
Bagasse is the fibrous matter that remains after sugarcanes are
crushed to extract their juice.
• How it is used Today?
It is used either as fuel in sugar mills or as raw material for making paper.
• Aspect and Prospect as Eco-friendly material
As it’s a by product thus its use is appreciable in the ways it is currently used
and further research of it for more possible uses
should be welcomed as it is produced it quite huge
quantities.
………..
10. Fly Ash
• What is it?
Also known as flue-ash, it is one of the residues generated in combustion,
and comprises the fine particles that rise with the flue gases. In industrial
context, fly ash refers to ash produced during combustion of coal.
• How it is used Today?
Concrete production, as a substitute material for Portland cement and sand
Road sub-base construction
As Aggregate substitute material (e.g. for brick production)
Mineral filler in asphaltic concrete
Loose application on roads and parking lots for ice
Control.
Other:- cosmetics, toothpaste, kitchen counter tops,
floor and ceiling tiles etc.
11. Summary for Eco-friendly materials
• This was just a small list to put light on various materials harming the environment and use of some doing the
good work, but this list is not such a small one there are hundreds of more aspects and prospects which require
some addressing thus before closing this presentation. Let’s have a look on few more things .
Plastic:- Plastic is one of the most used commodity in today’s world. A lot of progress has already made.
But due to the large range of uses this need some more further research.
Compact fluorescent lamps :- famously called (CFL’s) have surely brought a revolution in the world giving
completely new lighting solutions which save lot’s of energy at the same time giving even more luminance
then comparable counterparts. There is still one aspect that is less known about CFL’s that’s in the presence of
mercury in it which raises concerns for the decomposition of the used ones (just like Nuclear fuels).
Use of cycles:- Cycles have been a big thing in their own time being used a lot by all people. It was only the
Option available some decades ago before the motored vehicles arrive. It’s not only a non polluting vehicle but at
the same time it’s a great way of exercising for it’s rider.
Renewable (Non-conventional ) Resources Of Energy:- Due to concern already surfaced around the rapidly
decreasing amounts of conventional sources of energy, this topic is already getting importance but awareness still
lacks about this in the people thus reducing it’s possible use to some extent.
12. • Congrats on watching this till the end although an appreciable contribution but too less for an IMPACT thus a waste. Plz. Make your
contribution some worth by liking this presentation and promising to yourself to practice (this new kind of ) sustainable development
