Words of wisdom - water edition: To face the dual threats of extreme drought and extreme flooding, Carlos Campos and Helge Daebel discuss the necessity for proactive, technology-driven approaches to ensure sustainable water management. 💧On the value of water: Carlos: Urban water is globally 5% to 8% of the water we use. Industrial water use is 10-15% and then the rest is agricultural water (up to 80%). If we take a look at the industries in places under water stress, they will have to rethink their whole water process to reduce consumption significantly by 10% to 30%. You can’t do that by just optimizing your consumption. You have to rethink your whole process. Helge: And rethinking with a different lens. Because before you didn’t look at your process with a water lens. But now this has become a major risk factor. And only now, through this, water is being seen at the right value. Slowly, but surely. We see it with our portfolio companies, the value that some of the corporates are willing to pay for amounts of water. It goes beyond what you would ask as a utility from consumers to pay. Carlos: If a big corporation like Microsoft or Google, big water users, want to install a facility in a place that’s under water stress, they have no choice. They will not receive authorization to run that facility unless they offset the water consumption. 👉 Read more: https://lnkd.in/dtfyMwwn Clayton MacDougald I Kelven Lam #watertech #waterinnovation #waterreuse #wordsofwisdom #waterindustry

"Thin skin" on humans can be difficult, but Graham Carey is excited about advances in "thin skin" for manmade products, especially in coating technology using atomic layer deposition (ALD). 💪 ALD sees an ultra-thin layer of film applied to the surface of an object, which protects it from moisture, oxygen, dust, & ultraviolet light. 📦 Kalpana Systems' technology could see ALD spread from its usual sectors of advanced electronics and solar cells to a much broader ecosystem, including flexible packaging. 👉 Read more: https://lnkd.in/dBfKHHxy Fredric Petit I Neil Cameron #sustainablepackaging #ALD #coatingtechnology #packagingtechnology #flexiblepackaging
