The Problem

Backdrop

• Degrading biodiversity, vanishing marine life, uncontrolled pollutants - the challenge to our client’s fragile ecosystem are well documented.

​

• Ad-hoc, fragmented green initiatives that focus on simply the environment without integrating the economical and social impacts will be short-lived.

​

• Research from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation finds that our transition to renewable energy "can only address 55% of emissions. The remaining 45% comes from producing the cars, clothes, food, and other products we use every day.

​

​

Problem 1 - The Linear Economy

• Linear economy is the conventional paradigm, in which raw materials are gathered, processed, and manufactured into goods for consumers

​

• It places a higher value on profit than it does on environmental responsibility, producing goods that are designed to be discarded after they have been used.

Problem 2 - Humanity’s Waste Problem

• We generate about 1.3 billion tons of trash per year, far more than we can properly process or recycle.

​

• This leads to environmental tragedies like ocean plastic pollution and declining biodiversity

Problem 3 - Geopolitical Tensions

• Our world does not have infinite amount of raw materials required to power the green revolution

​

• Competition for finite but critical resources such as lithium will lead to future geopolitical tensions

​

We need to transition to a new economical model that reduce pressure on natural resources and will create a sustainable economy for nations across the globe!
