Population growth and urbanization are trends impacting the levels and degree of pollution of water bodies across the globe. Paired with industries’ key priorities of sustainable development and climate resilience, the global push for water-efficient technologies and practices is apparent. Water is increasingly considered a scarce and limited resou...

The homes and buildings industry maintained its growth momentum in 2024, recording a 6.9% expansion despite ongoing economic and geopolitical uncertainties. In 2025, the industry is projected to grow within a range of 4.3% to 8.6%, driven by increasing demand for property technology solutions, smart home solutions, sustainable climate control syste...

The impact of economic growth, rapid industrialization, and urbanization is directly related to the rise in emissions of toxic and harmful pollutants, often related to human activity. Air pollution can affect both human and environmental health, causing diseases and atmospheric phenomena such as smog and acid rain. Pollutants (solid particles, liqu...

Climate change and the rapid pace of urbanization and industrialization have significantly increased water stress and affected the equitable availability of fresh water. This has led to the implementation of policies that favor water conservation and the embrace of solutions that enable the circular economy of water. Another aspect is the diversifi...

Germany is the second-largest facility management (FM) market in Europe (after the United Kingdom) and has been one of the fastest-growing markets. Although its revenue growth has stuttered recently, it will present strong opportunities for incumbent suppliers and attract new entrants from outside the country. Single-service delivery models dominat...

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 United Kingdom, despite having relatively high rainfall and water availability compared to many other countries, faces water stress primarily because of climate change, which has changed rainfall patterns and caused droughts. During the 2022 drought, some UK water utilities implemented an unprecedented hosepipe ban. Droughts are expected to bec...
