10 reasons why global warming is a serious matter for our world?

 

  1. Climate Change: Global warming is causing significant changes in the Earth’s climate patterns, leading to unpredictable weather conditions, including extreme heatwaves, droughts, floods, and storms. These climate changes can disrupt ecosystems, and endangered species, and threaten human health and safety.

  2. Rising Sea Levels: Global warming is causing the polar ice caps to melt, resulting in rising sea levels that can flood low-lying coastal areas, threaten the existence of island nations, and force millions of people to relocate.

  3. Water Scarcity: Global warming is causing changes in rainfall patterns and intensifying droughts in some regions, leading to water scarcity and the potential for conflict over dwindling water resources.

  4. Food Insecurity: Climate change can disrupt food production and availability, leading to food insecurity, malnutrition, and starvation for millions of people, particularly in developing countries.

  5. Economic Impact: Climate change can cause significant economic disruption and costs, including damage to infrastructure, loss of property and business, and increased healthcare expenses.

  6. Public Health: Global warming can increase the spread of diseases carried by insects, such as mosquitoes and ticks, and heat waves can cause heatstroke, dehydration, and respiratory illness.

  7. Biodiversity Loss: Climate change can cause the extinction of species, loss of biodiversity, and disruption of entire ecosystems, threatening the health and survival of numerous plant and animal species.

  8. National Security: Climate change can lead to conflicts over resources, displacement of people, and political instability, posing a threat to national security and global stability.

  9. Extreme Weather Events: Global warming is causing an increase in the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, such as hurricanes, cyclones, and typhoons, which can cause significant damage to communities and infrastructure.

  10. Environmental Degradation: Climate change can cause significant environmental degradation, including air pollution, soil erosion, and water pollution, which can have long-lasting impacts on the environment and human health.

CHALLENGES RELATED TO EPR - Rekart

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is the responsibility of every producer, importer, and brand owner. This is in order to channelize waste to an authorized dismantler/recycler to ensure proper handling and disposal of such waste.  Extended Producer Responsibility may comprise of implementation of the take-back system, setting up of collection centers, or both of these. Along with having agreed arrangements with authorized dismantlers or recyclers either individually or collectively through a Producer Responsibility Organisation (PRO) .  Difficulty in understanding guidelines : The first guidelines related to EPR in India came in as early as 2016  but still until 2020 most companies were not able to fulfill their ERP targets due to lack of understanding and the complete responsibility of successful ERP had been shifted on the shoulders of industry. Many industries that did fall under the compliance category didn't recognize it at all for example the Pharmaceutical ...

UNDERSTANDING THE CARBON FOOTPRINT OF BATTERIES: UNVEILING THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

  In recent years, the global focus on environmental sustainability has brought attention to the carbon footprint of various products and technologies. One area of growing interest is  batteries , which power our portable electronics, electric vehicles, and  renewable energy  systems. While batteries offer numerous advantages, it is crucial to understand their  environmental impact , particularly their carbon footprint. In this blog post, we delve into the concept of a battery’s carbon footprint, exploring its significance and factors that contribute to it. Defining the Carbon Footprint of a Battery : The carbon footprint of a battery refers to the total greenhouse gas emissions generated throughout its lifecycle, from the extraction of raw materials to manufacturing, usage, and eventual disposal. This includes carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and other greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change. Understanding a battery’s carbon footprint helps us as...
