🌍 This year’s International Day of Zero Waste highlights the need to reduce waste and promote circular solutions in the fashion and textile sector. The Norwegian company Norsk Tekstilgjenvinning (NTG), awarded the Made in Norway label, makes an important contribution here. ✅ It mechanically recycles textile waste containing cotton and polyester-cotton blends, turning it into high-quality fibres for textile production. This helps to reduce water and energy consumption, land use, and greenhouse gas emissions. 👇Join us on an exciting visit to NTG's facility and learn more about its important work in circular textile production.

Indoor cooling contributes to 2.7% of global CO2 emissions, and to achieve net zero targets by 2030, emissions must be reduced to 40% of today’s level. ☀️Blinds and screens mitigate heat from sunlight, yet people value daylight and views. Therefore, solutions must reduce glare and heat without compromising comfort. Sunphade has developed a unique, dynamic solar control film for windows made of photochromic nanoscale thin film that adapts to sunlight intensity. This allows occupants to avoid glare, enjoy natural daylight and maintain a clear view outside. 🪟 By blocking up to 66% of the sun's energy, Sunphade reduces the need for artificial cooling and lowers energy consumption. Moreover, it does not require maintenance. Read the full article here ➡️ https://lnkd.in/dgx9M_aE 📷: Sunphade

🐟 As the global population grows, so does the need for protein. The aquaculture industry can contribute substantially here but must grapple with challenges including sea lice. Enter Aquabyte, whose AI-powered system uses underwater cameras and image analysis with machine learning and AI to generate data and insights about fish welfare and growth. The camera is installed in fish pens at sea and tanks on land, capturing over a million images of the fish every day.  Using machine learning and AI, these images are analysed to deliver critical data and insights on sea lice counts, fish weight, welfare and behaviour. ✅ This information enables fish farmers to make informed decisions to improve fish welfare and increase sustainability and efficiency in production.
