The renewables industry has reached a fundamentally new stage in its development. The cost of some renewable technologies – wind and solar in particular – has fallen to a level which has seen them become cost competitive with fossil fuels in some markets. A growing number of countries are adopting policies to encourage the growth of renewables, and the industry is attracting a new class of investor more commonly attracted to the stable returns of traditional infrastructure investments.

A surge in waste generation and subsequent reckless waste disposal has been described as a rapidly increasing issue that is wreaking havoc on the climate, marine ecosystem, and human health. To achieve a circular economy, all stakeholders must use sustainable waste transformation strategies focused on waste recovery, reuse to achieve circular economy and create new revenue models as we fight the global pandemic.

These are internal challenges many of mid-sized and large organizations are facing. And that is not the only thing. At the same time, many external developments are taking place: of course the pandemic with their impact on the economy, restrictive governmental regulations and continuously increasing competition. This means that their market position and revenues are at stake and the team morale is lowering. Mediocre companies cut budgets and initiatives, and lower prices. A few excelling companies use ‘downtime’ to shake things up and choose for a ‘change management’ program to boost the internal drive and productivity.

Healthcare systems need to do a better job in those areas of spending they can control, such as sourcing. Management often succumbs to pressure from physicians and suppliers, but if they take a detailed look at wasteful spending, they can respond to those pressures in a positive, educated way. Two areas ripe with this kind of potential are “physician preference” and “clinical preference” items. Physician and clinical preference items are those high-cost items that often have lower-cost, functional equivalents on the market, but that physicians or clinicians have come to prefer through training, familiarity or habit.
