Siemens smart water management in Vadodara

At the Siemens site in Vadodara, 650 employees manufacture steam turbines and capacitors for the Indian market and other growing markets. The scarcity of water during the dry season puts the groundwater in this region in jeopardy, as more water is pumped up than can be replenished by rainfall. Since 2013, rainwater that used to end up in the sewers has instead been collected and fed back into the groundwater.

Instead of being discharged into the sewers, the water is piped to the site's two water treatment plants for cleaning. In the treatment plant for industrial waste water, 85,000 liters can be cleaned. After cleaning, the water is used in the sanitary facilities. The treatment plant for the sanitary waste water has a capacity of 65,000 liters. After the treatment process the water is so clean that it can be used to water the green spaces located on the site. Thus, the vegetation is supported during the dry season, the water is recycled and not a drop is wasted.

LEGO new sets creates awareness for real life environmental challenges

New LEGO® City and LEGO® Friends sets have been developed to create awareness about exploration and the protection of endangered species in the world’s jungles and oceans. To support the launch and engage children even further, a campaign has been developed in collaboration with National Geographic to encourage children to explore the world and maybe even develop their own creative ideas on solving the real-life challenges our world is facing. The campaign will invite kids and their parents to visit the heights and depths of the earth, and to learn about exploring our world and protecting wildlife in our oceans and jungles. This includes educational content about pandas, sharks, elephants, deep sea creatures and much more.

Maybelline Matte + Poreless On The Go Foundation Pouch

The Maybelline Matte + Poreless Foundation is one of their bestselling foundations, and typically comes in a clear, glass bottle with a black lid. However, the design has been revamped for a more eco-friendly design . The formula remains unchanged, but Maybelline have created the Maybelline Matte + Poreless On The Go Foundation Pouch which is a special portable on-the-go pouch format. Whilst plastic is still something that's not biodegradable, the point of this pouch is that it's a lot more sustainable in terms of manufacturing compared to the manufacturing of glass. There's also a lot less packaging needed to protect the products in transit, so Maybelline have really thought about every little thing in designing this new Maybelline Matte + Poreless On The Go Foundation Pouch format.
