Environmental Impacts of Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence is already an integral part of many areas of life – whether it’s popular applications like ChatGPT or the optimization of industrial processes. But this progress comes at a cost: The infrastructure behind AI consumes vast resources – especially energy, but also water an

Analytical Review of Global and Regional Practices

Recycling and Reuse of Lithium Batteries in Latin America and the Caribbean

The increasing demand for lithium-ion batteries (LIB), associated to energy storage for electric vehicles, electronics and renewable energy, has raised concerns about their proper disposal, recycling and end-of-life management (EoL). Currently, only half of all LIB reaching end-of-life globally a

Strategies for Traceability to Prevent Unauthorised GMOs (Including NGTs) in the EU: State of the Art and Possible Alternative Approaches

The EU’s regulatory framework for genetically modified organisms (GMOs) was developed for “classical” transgenic GMOs, yet advancements in so-called “new genomic techniques (NGTs)” have led to implementation challenges regarding detection and identification. As traceability can complement

End-of-life management in solar energy access projects

Enabling universal access to modern and clean forms of energy (SDG 7) ranks high on the global agenda and is supported by various donors and implementing organisations. Through these efforts, large numbers of energy access installations such as solar home systems and mini-grids are being deployed. W

Feasibility study on options for developing environmentally sound recycling solutions in Nigeria

Management of End-of-life Flat Panel Displays through E-waste Compensation in Nigeria

The following study addresses the possibilities for responsible management of end-of-life flat panel displays in Nigeria. For this, it explores types of flat panel displays, their markets as well as responsible options for suitable recycling along their reverse value chain from collection, storage,
