13/09/24 - Climate Connections: Turning trash to cash - How one business is recycling spent catalytic converters into precious metalsPlatinum group metals (PGM) - a group of precious metals - such as platinum, palladium and rhodium, are traditionally recovered through underground and open pit mining within a linear economy, where the ore is mined, transformed into products and then disposed of as waste at the end of their lives. These metals are often used in catalytic converters for cars, buses, trucks, and other industrial processes.
However, the process of mining for these precious metals could directly or indirectly lead to environmental impacts including deforestation, water pollution, and habitat destruction.
With the aim of creating a circular economy while fulfilling the high demand for these finite precious resources in a sustainable way - one company called BR Metals is recovering these metals from metal scraps and reintroducing them into the supply chain.
On this episode of Climate Connections, Frank Chen, Founder & Managing Director, BR Metals shares more about how his company is recovering precious metals from car scraps and his latest ventures into the gold and silver space. BR Metals was also crowned Champion in the Business For Good category at this year’s Brands for Good Awards.

12/09/24 - Morning Shot: Kamala Harris - Donald Trump Showdown: Historic Handshake, Facts versus Lies. Who won the Debate?Two very contrasting visions of America were on display during the first and possibly only presidential debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and Former President Donald Trump.
Debate night encapsulated the gambles that each candidate is taking in this hotly contested campaign, covering a wide range of key policy issues including the economy, abortion rights, immigration, Russian war in Ukraine, among others.
But the question is, who has a better read on the American psyche eight weeks before the final ballots are cast?
On this episode of Morning Shot, we splice up what went down at the Harris-Trump showdown with:
- Lester Munson, Non-resident fellow from the United States Studies Centre at University of Sydney and Adjunct faculty at Johns Hopkins University
- Bhagyashree Garekar, US Bureau Chief from The Straits Times
