It’s time, you will agree, that manufacturers stop playing the “I’m green” game and begin evaluating their processes in life-cycle terms, i.e. from raw materials through to the final delivery to the customer; to how the customer uses the product; disposes of the waste; and finally how it is typically collected and disposed of.

Fulfillment
Most of us search for one or more things that we hope will make our lives complete and rewarding—fulfillment. We associate fulfillment with many things, some being material pursuits. We expend our days searching for these things to make our lives worthwhile. However, as John Lemon famously coined: “Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans“. […]
On the Brinks of a Blackhole
A blackhole has such high gravitational effects at its centre that not even light can escape! Unfortunately, this characteristic make blackholes invisible to the naked eye.

Be a Trailblazer!
One of the best ways to distinguish yourself from the crowd or in your particular marketplace is to blaze your own trail.
