The Middle East manufacturing sector is undergoing a structural transformation driven by decarbonization imperatives, energy transition, and the economic diversification agendas of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) governments. Carbon intensity is emerging as a key competitive differentiator, particularly as the European Union (EU)'s Carbon Border...

Middle East and African (MEA) countries are the most water-stressed. GCC and most MENA countries are significantly increasing their seawater desalination capacity to meet growing water demand and mitigate water stress. Sub-Saharan African countries face water stress due to rapid urbanization and inadequate water infrastructure. As part of SDG 2030 ...

This study provides a comprehensive overview of the low-carbon cement and concrete landscape, examining the industry’s emissions profile, the central role of clinker, and the technical and performance implications of its substitution. It maps global cement and concrete market structures, production capacities, geographic demand trends, and evolvi.....

The North American region has witnessed unprecedented weather disruptions that have caused dry spells, droughts, rising temperatures, and longer summer seasons, all of which have affected freshwater surface water sources. This has also put immense pressure on groundwater sources, which are being exploited. US states, especially the Pacific and Midw...

This report explores the market for smart water meter solutions in the Asia-Pacific (APAC). APAC is currently experiencing significant water stress due to climate change and rapid urbanization, driving water utilities in the region to increasingly adopt smart water meters as a strategy to reduce water consumption and minimize non-revenue water loss...

Chemical recycling, also known as advanced recycling, encompasses a group of technologies that break down the molecules in waste to produce raw materials. This process enables the conversion of difficult-to-recycle plastics, such as multi-layered or contaminated materials, back into "virgin-like" feedstocks that can be used to create new chemicals ...

The circular economy approach involves initiatives across material and product life cycles, supporting sustainable resource consumption and waste prevention by assimilating high-tech solutions. The global resource management sector is transitioning toward greater digital technology adoption using disruptive smart technologies and platform-based sol...

Today, the vast majority of plastic is still made from fossil fuel and is designed to be durable. However, the twin challenges of reducing fossil fuel consumption and decreasing plastic waste brought in some significant changes to the plastic industry in 2022.



Options to counter these challenges include the use of plastic that is bi...
