Industrial waste makes up at least 50% of waste generated globally. And much of that waste is the result of poor quality products from manufacturing processes, as well as the sheer complexity of manufacturing and supply chain management.  As consumer awareness about the environmental impacts of waste increases, recycling is expected to grow considerably in the coming years. By 2032, the global waste recycling services market is forecast to have surpassed a value of US$90 billion, registering a compound annual growth rate of 4.7 percent during the forecast period 2023 to 2032. But cost is often an issue. So, what can be done to scale up recycling within industries? On this episode of Climate Connections, Susie Burrage, President, Bureau of International Recycling, who will be actively involved in the World Recycling Convention, held in Singapore from 28th to 29th October, shares her perspectives of being a fourth-generation recycler.

The United States has for the first time said it has seen evidence that North Korea has sent 3,000 troops to Russia for possible deployment in Ukraine, a move that could mark a significant escalation in Russia's war against its neighbour. In the latest of developments, South Korea has summoned the Russian ambassador in Seoul, to criticise Pyongyang's decision to send thousands of soldiers to support Moscow's war in Ukraine. This comes just a week after we heard reports of North Korea blowing up sections of the deeply symbolic roads connecting it to the South, with Pyongyang’s military vowing to permanently seal its southern border. On this episode of Morning Shot, Oh Joon, Professor of United Nations Studies at Kyung Hee University shares his insights on the escalating tensions between South and North Korea.
