🚨 We Are Failing Our Oceans: Only 2.8% of Marine Protected Areas Are "Effectively" Protected 🚨 Nations have committed to protecting 30% of the planet’s oceans by 2030, as part of the 30x30 goal, a cornerstone of the Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF), but our latest report reveals a troubling truth: 🌊 Only 8.3% of global marine areas are under protection and just 2.8% are "effectively" protected. This new report, launched today and authored by Metabolic, commissioned by Bloomberg Philanthropies Ocean Initiative, and produced with the Marine Conservation Institute, SkyTruth, and Campaign for Nature, highlights the urgency. As John Kerry, former US Secretary of State, and José María Figueres, former President of Costa Rica, state in the report’s foreword: "Protecting and conserving at least 30% of the world’s ocean is vital to safeguard marine biodiversity and the billions of people who depend on it for their livelihoods and food security. It is also essential to preserving the ocean’s ability to act as our greatest climate ally by absorbing billions of tonnes of carbon emissions every year.” The 30x30 goal is historic, but we are falling short. More importantly, protection must be meaningful, stopping harmful practices like industrial fishing, bottom trawling, and oil and gas development. The report will be presented at COP16 in Cali, Colombia on October 28th in the For Coral pavilion.

Can we estimate the real-world impact of circularity efforts? 🌍 Yes, we can! Together with Reconomy, we measured the environmental contributions of the recycling activities of their brands Eurokey, Combineering, and CasePak. Using our 𝗖𝗶𝗿𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿, we calculated their impact across categories such as carbon emissions, water consumption, land use, and material utilization by comparing the three Reconomy brands' results with a business-as-usual, industry-average scenario. Here’s what we found: ✅ Reconomy’s circular solutions led to a 32% reduction in carbon emissions compared to industry benchmarks, preventing 800 kilotonnes of CO₂-equivalent emissions—that's the same as the energy use of 104,000 households in a year! 💡 👉 Learn more about our work with Reconomy: https://lnkd.in/dgDXNHTc 👉 See how CIIC helps companies like Reconomy optimize their circularity journey: https://lnkd.in/dZWqmUsb #circularproducts #circulareconomy #recycling Benjamin Elizalde Duran Cintia Rivera Irene Beers James Souder

Every day, Dutch healthcare institutions use countless materials to provide the best care. Unfortunately, much of this ends up in incinerators. But where should we start to make healthcare more sustainable? We are proud to announce the launch of PROMEZA! 🎊 Developed by Metabolic in collaboration with the NFU Circularity Working Group, the PROMEZA tool helps healthcare providers gain insight into their material consumption and easily measure the amount of reusable products and waste generated during medical procedures. By evaluating circularity—whether materials are reused and the type of waste they generate—the tool empowers healthcare professionals to identify opportunities to reduce material use and waste during medical treatments. 👉 Sounds interesting? Here are more details about PROMEZA: https://lnkd.in/gg4MjbpX 👉 Curious to explore how we are working toward circular healthcare?

It’s time to rethink our electronics ♻️🔋 Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE)—like phones and refrigerators—are essential to our daily lives. But they also bring serious environmental and social challenges. As we transition to cleaner energy, we must improve how we reuse and recycle electronics to reduce our reliance on raw materials. In the Netherlands, one of our biggest challenges is improving e-waste collection. Currently, we’re behind EU targets. Our latest research highlights this critical issue. Together with Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences, Connekt, and Topsector Logistiek, we analyzed national and regional waste data in the Amsterdam Metropolitan Region. We also hosted workshops with public and private experts to uncover the main obstacles. Our findings revealed that the EEE market is growing faster than we can collect waste. Fragmented systems, a focus on costs, and poor collaboration are holding back progress. Illegal trade of valuable materials is also contributing to the problem. 🔄 Curious to learn more?
