How Do You Become a Part of the Circular Economy?

Circular Economy in Chemicals: Collaborative Supply Chain Solutions!

Environmental concerns have been on the rise for some time now, some warranting more attention than others, and the proposal for a circular economy has been well received by governments, practitioners, and academics alike as it brings about significant opportunities and positive impacts across industries, sectors, and lives.

Rampant consumerism has catastrophic effects, including the depletion of natural resources and the introduction of noxious materials into the environment, so we must overcome impulse purchasing and regain control of our wallets and landfills.

Ultimately, the economy needs to make structural changes so that its growth is more equitable, naturally reducing imbalances.

Does Access Matting Hurt the Environment?

The Importance of Weather Monitoring in Construction!

Access matting is a process of using mats to create a barrier between the earth and a job site. Often access matting is used during oil drilling or other large construction projects. These mats create a barrier for specific ground protection.

There are many different materials that access mats can be made out of. These materials might include wood, composite, fiberglass, rubber, or plastic.

Access matting prevents environmental damage, and although many people associate all aspects of the oil and construction industry with hurting the environment, it actually does the opposite.

Not only can access matting help you get your project done faster, but it can also help prevent negative environmental impact.

Climate Impacts on Logistics and Supply Chain

The Supply Chain Carbon Footprint Reduction Strategy! (Infographic)

Climate change and the freight transportation industry are very much intertwined. The freight industry generates eight to ten percent of the world’s carbon emissions, making it one of the biggest carbon polluters on Earth. In turn, climate impacts create secondary effects from infrastructure damage all the way down to micro-scale problems like surety bond claims.

It’s critical that logistics professionals understand this cycle, as well as the steps to breaking it. By seeing the complex and interconnected ways in which freight transportation and climate change interact, we can analyze ways to stop the process before it’s too late.

4 Revolutionary Changes in Biofuel!

Biofuel is an excellent alternative solution to non-renewable fuel. There is a general assumption that biofuel is only used in the transport industry. Biofuel provides clean up and cooking oil, gives us hydrogen, and much more. Biofuels act as fuel alternatives from central home heating to fueling vehicles.

In the past several years, researchers and scientists have revolutionized the use of biofuel, and they have achieved several milestones.

Here are some of the new updates on biofuel:

Better Waste Management for the Environment!

Optimizing Waste Management in the Warehouse!

It’s a fact that recycling and better waste management are important to the environment. But they’re also important to supply chains. Recycling keeps materials out of landfills, which reduces their size and helps them decompose more quickly.

In fact, according to the U.S. EPA (Environmental Protection Agency), recycling helps decrease the amount of waste transferred to landfills and incinerators, which is good for the environment. Plus, it also assists in generating employment opportunities in the recycling and manufacturing industries across the U.S.

Why Solids Control is a Game Changer for the Oil Industry!

Different Sectors of the Chemical Industry!

Waste is inevitable in any activity of construction, but there is not necessarily an issue so much with waste as there is with how it is dealt with. Technology has been instrumental in helping avoid waste in the oil industry, and that technology is solids control.

Solids control is a technique used in oil drilling. It is typically located on a drilling rig and is used to separate the solids in the drilling mud. These solids are created by the crushing of the drill bits that are carried out of the well surface.

Essentially, solids control is the recycling of the drilling mud, and it saves costs regarding mud quantity and disposal. Although there are other forms of waste management in the oil industry, solids control is one of the best options to manage drilling waste and helps to minimize the environmental impact of oil drilling.
