Asset management and ocean conservation may seem like unrelated topics at first glance. However, the connection lies in the potential impact of real-time location tracking (RTLS) technology on reducing plastic waste and promoting a circular economy.
As an avid sailor and environmental advocate, I’m pleased to highlight how RTLS can contribute to a healthier future for our oceans. In this article, we’ll explore the role that asset management plays in driving a greener future.
Reducing Plastic Waste
Plastic pollution is one of the most pressing environmental challenges, with an estimated 200 million tons of plastic waste already in the oceans, increasing by over 8 million tons each year. RTLS can play a critical role in reducing excess manufacturing and unnecessary production of items that eventually end up as waste.
By integrating RTLS into their operations, businesses can take a proactive approach to reducing plastic waste, supporting sustainability goals and healthy oceans.
