The next UJ Cloudebate will discuss the huge impact of drones and tracing technology on climate change efforts4IR tech can increase the effectiveness of recycling and reforestation to help alleviate climate change. Picture: SUPPLIED/UNIVERSITY OF JOHANNESBURGRecycling and reforestation are important ways in which the warming effects of greenhouse gas emissions can be lessened.
In this way, the life cycle of products is extended. Implementing this model provides the most appropriate way toBASF’s reciChain platform aims to move the economy from a linear to a circular one by combining the power of blockchain with a digital badge and loop count tech that enables secure sharing of data among market participants. It also improves the sorting, tracing and monitoring of plastics throughout the value chain.
When it pays to recycle, through efficiencies and transparency enhanced by 4IR tech, it becomes an integral part of economic activity. Drones, or technically UASs , also sometimes called unmanned aerial vehicles represent a fast-growing and effective manifestation of 4IR tech in the physical world - especially agriculture.
Two humans could potentially direct 10 of these drones, so the pace can be geometrically accelerated.”
