About the Session
Is Our Future Green or Not At All? How Can Smart Technology Help Us Achieve a Greener Planet?
Tues 25 Oct, 15:00 PM – 15:20 PM (20 Mins)
★ Key Note Speaker ★
Sustainability, going green, and eco-friendly, are some of the buzzwords that are part of our culture today. However, is making a material change enough for our planet? Linear economy has always been our way of thinking but we must adapt to a new way of thinking that is where circular economy comes in. By having a holistic view from raw materials to post-consumer use and waste recollection; we can plan for a future that genuinely embodies bringing the packaging from nature and back to nature. Smart technology has brought many advantages to our culture from the iPhone to new computer processors. This has had unintended consequences in our daily life. By leveraging it to help us optimize our current recycling and sorting practices; will this be the answer that we need to achieve a greener future?
