………Essential for Industry!

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
at the heart and soul of industrial processes worldwide.

ISO knows the Value of WASTE and Closing-the-Loop

The response was so positive that an international committee was proposed and ISO/TC 323 began to get to work.
The standards for ISO/TC 323 are to be published in 2024.

In the mood to phase out fossil fuel? – Governance

Yes, Governance! One of the ESGs. – Solutions through Law

The rules of our world are laws, and they can be changed. Laws can restrict or they can enable. What matters is what they serve. Many of the laws in our world serve property – they are based on ownership. But imagine a law that has a higher moral authority… a law that puts people and planet first. Imagine a law that starts from first “do no harm”, that stops this dangerous game and takes us to a place of safety….” Polly Higgins, 2015
