Why aren’t more big bike firms tracking their environmental impact?

Trek, one of the world’s biggest bicycle brands, recently released its sustainability report for 2021. Remarkably, this appears to be the first time a major bike company has published such a document.

We need to rethink the way we measure environmental impact

Biodiversity loss is a global phenomenon. Driven by habitat degradation, climate change, the introduction of invasive species and other anthropogenically induced factors, around 1 million of the 8 million plant and animal species on earth are threatened with extinction. Increasingly, biodiversit ...

Waste and Biodiversity

Waste mangaement based on 3R (reduce, reuse and recycle) approach helps towards biodiversity. On the one hand, reduced levels of waste generation, or efficient use of resources, would reduce the burden on natural resources including forests and water; thus, leading to conserve and support biodiv ...
