The rising population is driving global water demand and putting significant pressure on the global water supply chain. The United Nations estimates that half of the global population will face water shortages by 2025, and the situation is expected to intensify and lead to 700 million people facing displacement by 2030 due to water shortages. Desal...

Globally, exponential population growth, rampant consumerism, and economic development are the major drivers of waste generation. The World Bank estimates that waste generation is going to increase from about 2.3 billion tons per year by 2023 to 3.4 billion tons per year by 2050. Out of the 2.3 billion tons of waste produced in 2023, as much as 33 ...

The World Bank estimates that rapid population growth and urbanization have resulted in a global average waste generation of about 0.79 kilograms per citizen per day as of 2022. It predicts a direct relationship between waste generation and income levels and projects the daily per capita waste generation in high-income countries to increase by 19.0...

Energy and cost savings are still perceived as one of the top benefits of light-emitting diode (LED) lighting, and they will continue to influence decision-making in lighting procurement. In major countries, households' rising disposable income will result in the renovation and modification of lighting systems to keep up with LED lighting innovatio...

More than 4 billion people lack water for at least 1 month every year. Furthermore, it is estimated that by 2025, half the world´s population could potentially face water scarcity. Factors driving an increase in water scarcity include climate change, climate-related catastrophes, ground water contamination through the increasing usage of pesticide...

Water utilities across the globe are in various stages of implementing polices and regulations that will enable water conservation and reduce non-revenue water (NRW), with advanced smart water meters being the focal point of investment. For over a decade automated-meter-reading-based (AMR based) smart water meters were the most adopted. However, th...

Energy use in the construction industry is high. Additionally, the heavy machinery used in construction still leans heavily on fossil fuels, and inefficient electricity use can lead to huge waste of fossil fuels further down the energy supply line. This creates the demand for sustainability drives in the building and construction industry. Sustaina...

Increase in waste generation and the subsequent irresponsible dumping of waste is identified as the fast-growing problem causing significant damage to environment, aquatic ecosystem, and human health. Industrialization, urbanization and the associated economic growth will face significant challenges if sound waste management practices are not put i...
