Europe’s ageing water infrastructure is under increasing pressure from climate-related flooding, water stress and pollution, says Sweco. Europe faces growing long-term risks as flooding, water scarcity and pollution increasingly converge across the continent, according to a new analysis from engineering and architecture consultancy Sweco. The report, Too much, too little, too polluted, warns that climate-driven […]

New analysis carried out by climate technology company IES has identified potential annual energy savings of around £64,000 at Queen Margaret University in Edinburgh, equivalent to approximately 11% of the university’s current energy spend. The project, commissioned by the university, used IES’s live digital twin technology to analyse operational performance across the institution’s 236,310 sq […]

Finnish waste processing equipment manufacturer Tana Oy has expanded its waste processing portfolio with the launch of the TANA Multi Waste Buckets MWB17 and MWB23, designed to integrate pre-shredding directly into wheel loader operations.

The number of electric vehicles registered on UK roads has passed two million for the first time, according to new Department for Transport (DfT) figures. The DfT said 2,012,000 zero emission vehicles were licensed in the UK at the end of December 2025, up 31.2% year-on-year. Of these, 1,874,000 were classed as road using vehicles, […]

This article contains sponsored content. As biomethane continues to gain traction as a low-carbon energy source, operators are looking for every opportunity to boost the efficiency and economics of anaerobic digestion plants. This is where judicious choices with the process stages beyond the digester itself can make a big difference. Critical among these are pasteurisation […]

Fibreglass particles are entering the marine food chain via ageing boats, according to the research (image credit: University of Brighton). A UK marine biologist’s research into fibreglass pollution in shellfish has inspired a UN-endorsed international project to tackle the growing issue of “invisible pollution” from abandoned boats across the UK, France, and Portugal. University of […]
