Small Steps, Big Impact ✔️ Small businesses have the power to lead the charge toward a sustainable future.

This photo popped up in my phone’s 'Memories' album, and I thought it would be nice to share on LinkedIn given my passion for innovations and solutions that help shape a better future for our societies. The photo is from the first event I attended in Dubai back in 2022, Future of Innovation Summit. The presentation that stood out to me was by Ecowatt, "Let's Shape a Green Future." 🌱 The photo inspired me to share my thoughts about a greener future… Having worked in companies that provide sustainable solutions, I've learned how even small changes can have a significant impact. I truly believe every business can contribute to a greener future. Even if your industry seems unrelated, there are countless ways to be part of a great change. Whether it's adopting eco-friendly practices, managing your carbon footprint, or simply using sustainable materials, everyone can play a part. It’s all about the mindset! 🧠✨ #Sustainability #GreenFuture #EcoFriendly #future #innovation

The UAE has a massive food waste problem. 225kg per person every year. These founders quit their day jobs during the pandemic to turn every food scrap into a solution rather than a burden. 👋 Meet Lara Hussein لارا حسين and Ceylan Üren. 🌱 After months of research during Covid, they established The Waste Lab in 2021: a female-led, nature-based composting startup dedicated to turning food scraps into nutrient-rich soil while reducing methane emissions. They faced roadblocks of course such as investors prioritizing tech-driven solutions over nature-based ones. But they stayed resolute. Now, The Waste Lab works with both businesses and households, offering affordable and accessible food waste segregation, collection, and composting tools, as well as the ability for impact to be measured through a digital dashboard for real-time data and impact reporting. In November 2023, The Waste Lab, secured a $30,000 equity-free grant after placing second in Standard Chartered’s fifth Women in Tech accelerator programme, launched in partnership with DIFC Innovation Hub. Impressive right? Well, I most definitely think so! However, to fully realise the potential of this incredible initiative, additional funding is crucial. The good news is that investment in climatetech is on the rise in the region, growing by 40% year-on-year in 2023. The Dubai Future District Fund committed up to $54.5 million before Christmas, VentureSouq has an active climatetech-focused fund, and US VC Princeville Capital plans to invest $50 million in MENA climatetech startups over the next five years. 📌 The Waste Lab was featured in FWDstart's latest edition, you can catch it here - https://lnkd.in/dCaSpnFe.

Understanding Key Acronyms in the Waste and Environmental World In the world of waste management and sustainability, a variety of acronyms represent crucial policies and initiatives that govern how businesses approach environmental responsibility. These acronyms simplify complex concepts and help drive global sustainability efforts. Here's a quick overview of the most important terms: - EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility): A policy making manufacturers accountable for their products’ entire lifecycle, encouraging eco-friendly design and recycling. - CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility): Companies voluntarily contribute to society through ethical practices, sustainable development, and community engagement. - ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance): A measurable framework used by investors to evaluate a company's environmental impact, social responsibility, and governance practices. - ISO (International Organization for Standardization): Sets global standards, including ISO 14001 for environmental management systems. - SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals): 17 UN global goals addressing issues like poverty, climate change, and environmental degradation. Comparing key concepts, ESG focuses on measurable impact, while CSR highlights voluntary efforts, and Sustainability emphasizes long-term ecological balance. These terms work together to shape responsible corporate practices. By understanding these acronyms, businesses can better align their goals with global environmental standards.
