At Cisco, circular design means building sustainability into our products and packaging from the start. It’s about designing with the full life cycle in mind
Some think of the technology as disruptive, but at its current level of maturity, AI is really more of a “foundational technology,” says Brian Tessier, vice president of global supply chain innovation at Schneider Electric. You could place it on the maturity curve near blockchain, he says.
In the UK right now, there is a huge spotlight on the crisis being created in our seas by plastic waste. The reality of the situation is scary – and hard to ignore.

When you take a bite of a hot slice of California Pizza Kitchen’s Mushroom and Green Onion pizza, you’re surely not thinking of mushroom farms, organic soil and sustainability.
Next time, perhaps you will.
What you might not know is that those mushrooms, and the farmers who grow them at the Pennsylvania-based Mother Earth Organic Mushrooms, are part of an awesome cycle of care that supports organic farms throughout the East Coast. Nestlé values the farm’s high-quality mushrooms, their rich flavor and the nutritional boost they provide — but we also seek out partners like Mother Earth to create shared value that goes beyond the products we create.
Nowadays, “plastic” can sound to some like a four-letter word. That is not entirely without reason.

The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) was involved in its development and launch and the standard is now utilised globally.
Being a resourceful man – and a little ahead of his time – Dave Thomas inherently understood the concept of food recovery. And by building the brand on the promise of serving fresh, never frozen beef*, Dave knew his hamburgers would have a shorter shelf-life. He even asked himself, “what do you do with the leftover hamburger?” The answer was simple: combine the beef we use for our hamburgers with a hearty helping of vegetables, chili beans and a dash of spice.
Designing electric, zero-emissions vehicles from the ground up is no easy task - but UPS and Workhorse Group are doing just that, and putting them on the road at a cost matching standard petroleum vehicles without the benefit of any subsidies in an industry-first initiative.
