Does Creative Technologies mean Construction Technology?.

Recycling can concentrate impurities, an issue that requires monitoring and can drive the need for further processing.The technical issues are primarily around ensuring solvent waste is neither mixed with other solvents nor with other water-based waste streams.

In fact, the segregation of waste streams in manufacturing is a very significant first step as this opens the possibility of multiple approaches to extraction, recycling and treatment..Although there wasn’t a focus on recycling outside of the factory, there seemed to be many more potential solutions in this area.With the right segregation, there are opportunities for waste management companies to work with manufacturers to find both technically and economically sound solutions to recycle back into manufacturing and/or into other supply chains.

Although not without issues, there was a strong sense that further conversations between manufacturers and the waste management industry to create new productive circular economies would be fruitful.. Strategy co-development to identify supplies of new solvents to support growing technologies – and growth in shared geographies – could foster new, efficient, and sustainable solvent supply and recycling routes.. Techno-economic modelling is seen as a vital component in guiding short-, medium and longer-term decision making on solvents.. As the chemical market changes alongside fiscal policies, understanding how to stay cost-effective and adaptable will be important.If this kind of analysis, or at least the insights from it, could be shared widely with the industry it could help accelerate interest and action, particularly in the generics ecosystem..

Problem solving in the room.

Prompted by a thought that many players in this arena are waiting for engineering for technical solutions, there was a conversation about the complexity of the problem..Lamont doesn’t believe construction’s lack of digitalisation is caused by a lack of industry uptake of technology.

Instead, he thinks it’s because the industry is oversubscribed to the idea of finding a silver bullet to solve all the ills of a construction site.asBuilt believes that the solutions needed by the sector are already available, and that by unlocking sites via technological empowerment of the workforce, the use of construction technologies like spatial mapping and IoT, and a shift in thinking toward humanity and long-term value, we have the power to truly advance the industry for the betterment of everyone involved..

Using construction tech to enhance processes on-site.To begin, we can use digital technology to offer more advanced ways to conduct onsite processes which aren’t normally digitalised, such as counting rebar.
