Last month, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) Mines Minister Martin Kabwelulu issued a formal statement recognizing adverse issues influencing the fraud and smuggling of conflict minerals in South Kivu. Minister Kabwelulu called for a thorough clean-up of the area’s mining sector.
Methane can cause smog, global warming and health problems. But there’s a silver lining: generating energy from the greenhouse gas improves air quality and reduces expenses and waste.
Our reduced-rate hotel block is filling up fast, which means there could only be days (or hours!) to save nearly 40% off the current published rate—so act fast to lock in savings. Don't miss this final opportunity to save on the most engaging, informative, and interactive clean energy conference of the year—the hotel block deadline is September 24th.
Based on internal capabilities and the reality of EHS budgets, companies need to decide whether external consultants can play a beneficial role in executing their audit programs. By considering your corporate culture and time, money, and resource availability, you can determine which approach to environmental auditing might work best for your needs. To help, Antea Group has developed a matrix of audit team concepts for use in determining the best approach for your organization.
After achieving significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions by 2013, we shifted the focus of our improvement work to energy intensity, or the total energy consumed to create a set unit of product.
Our pulp and paper products are derived from renewable resources, made with high levels of renewable energy, and are designed to be re-used or recycled.
There is a growing recognition among businesses and consumers that we must move away from a linear “take, make, waste” model of consumption where we extract materials, produce things and discard products to landfills. We are now embracing circular economy models, which by design are restorative and regenerative. Done properly, the final result is a system in which material streams are efficiently managed and recycled.
Paper is inherently circular by nature – made with renewable resources with high levels of renewable energy and is recyclable. And Sappi takes additional measure to further reduce impact at its operations.
Ongoing public concerns about climate change, energy security and economic conditions keep energy use and greenhouse gas emissions top of mind for our key stakeholders. Energy is the third largest draw on our operating costs behind wood fiber and chemicals.
As water and wastewater utilities are challenged to minimize rate increases while balancing limited budgets – complicated by deferred maintenance, chronic underinvestment, competing projects and compliance mandates – one solution to consider is the public-private partnership (PPP) model.
