YEAP joins forces with Electrolux in championing sustainable living

YEAP

In a world where sustainability takes centre stage in consumer choices, Electrolux, a global household appliance leader, is making strides in redefining appliance ownership. Levande is a corporate venture of Electrolux (Singapore) jointly incubated with EDB Singapore and FutureLabs as part of EDB’s corporate venture launchpad. It is a program that pioneers an appliance-as-a-service with the goal of encouraging circularity amongst consumers, away from the linear purchase-and-dispose model.

In support of Electrolux’ For The Better 2030 Sustainability Goals, Electrolux partnered with the Youth E-Waste Ambassador Program (YEAP) to champion sustainable living and advocate for better consumer practices.

Levande by Electrolux: A paradigm shift

It all began with Levande by Electrolux, an innovative appliance subscription service designed to rethink the model of linear product ownership. Levande offers an alternative that consumers can adopt beyond the traditional buy-and-dispose model by offering a service of renting appliances, new or refurbished, with flexible terms tailored to consumer lifestyles.

The conception of Levande is rooted in evolving consumer values. Electrolux has recognised the need to adapt its current service range to provide other alternatives to its consumers. Consumers are willing to consider models alternative to ownership — such as renting — to fit their lifestyles. At Electrolux, sustainability has always been part of the DNA, and they are determined to provide consumers solutions that are more sustainable — for the pocket, as well as for the planet.

The challenge of E-Waste in Singapore

According to the Towards Zero Waste team, a staggering 60,000 tonnes of e-waste are discarded each year in Singapore. For Electrolux, these numbers aren’t mere statistics; they are a call to action. It’s a stark reminder that both consumers and businesses must take responsibility for e-waste in our society.

Noting these challenges, Electrolux was inspired to create a circular business model addressing not just consumer needs but also the environmental impact of our choices. 

Ever since Levande made its grand entrance in Singapore as the city-state’s first large home electronics appliance-as-a-service program in November 2022, it has been a great success in providing accessible options to consumers. Electrolux also extends a hand to businesses such as co-living spaces, co-working spaces, corporates, design studios, and other entities that benefit from these sustainable solutions.

The best part? Levande offers more than just appliances; they offer a responsible end-of-life plan. They will collect and dispose of other commonly unregulated home appliances, ensuring a reduction in their impact on the planet.

Levande isn’t just a convenient service; it’s a game-changer in the battle against e-waste and preventing the addition of unnecessary appliances to landfills. It promotes appliance reuse and responsible disposal, paving the way for a more sustainable future.

Joining hands with YEAP

Electrolux doesn’t stop at its own initiatives; coming in to support YEAP is deeply rooted in their “For The Better Goals 2030,” a commitment to shaping better living around the world.

The Singaporean youth play a pivotal role in addressing the e-waste issue in Singapore. They are the digital natives, deeply connected to the world of electronics. Electrolux believes that by sharing the work they do through Levande, the youth can make more informed choices about how they use their appliances and reduce not only their electronic footprint but their carbon footprint as well.

Samantha Thian, Senior Sustainability Manager at Electrolux, offers a simple yet powerful piece of advice: “We don’t need one person doing sustainability perfectly; we need everyone doing it imperfectly.” In the journey towards sustainability and e-waste reduction, it’s essential for individuals to take small but meaningful steps to collectively make a significant difference. Every action, no matter how small, contributes to a more sustainable future.

Electrolux’s partnership with YEAP is a testament to their commitment to sustainability and responsible e-waste management. It’s a concise narrative that inspires change at both individual and industry levels. Electrolux and the youth of Singapore are working together to shape a sustainable future, and their collaboration with YEAP is a key milestone in this inspiring journey.

How Full Circle-HydroNeo partnership empowers small-scale shrimp farmers

Full Circle Founder and MD Felix Collins and HydroNeo Founder and CEO Fabian Reusch

Norwegian nutrient recapture company Full Circle Biotechnology recently partnered with Thailand-based aqua-tech startup HydroNeo. The collaboration will see Full Circle provide HydroNeo with its insect-based shrimp feed additive to enable it to generate new revenue streams and offer an alternative high protein, low carbon feed to the aqua industry. It will also enable both firms to innovate further and share industry insights and technical knowledge.

In this interview, Full Circle Founder and MD Felix Collins and HydroNeo Founder and CEO Fabian Reusch share more insights on this partnership.

Edited excerpts:

Can you provide an overview of the partnership between Full Circle Biotechnology and HydroNeo and the key objectives behind it?

Felix Collins: After about five years of R&D, Full Circle is starting commercialisation. Uptake with shrimp farmers has been good, but the industry can be opaque. It can be difficult to find farmers full-stop, but due to the culture of inheriting professions, it can be tough to find those willing to try something new.

Fabian Reusch has a network of farmers who have used his smart farm management system. In addition to the high performance of his IoT systems, he is looking to find a way to use his captivating application to open new revenue streams. Besides reach, his tech means rich data can be anonymised and used to improve our tech. It’s the perfect opportunity for both of us.

Fabian Reusch: Shrimp farmers are facing many challenges now more than ever. The industry can only survive through partnerships and great products that increase profitability and sustainability while reducing the environmental footprint of farming.

Full Circle is known for its insect-based shrimp feed additive. How does this technology work, and how will it benefit aquaculture?

Felix Collins: Our novel ingredient improves shrimp weight gain by 17 per cent and improves first-call resolution (FCR) by 14 per cent in the lab due to a unique and patent-pending combination of solid-state fermentation and insect production that benefits gut health and nutritional efficiency. We recapture nutrients that have escaped the food system and reintroduce them in a safe, healthy and sustainable way.

FCR increases mean that diet can be reduced with the same yield results, resulting in more sustainable (feed is a major carbon cost and monetary cost) or more productive aquaculture.

HydroNeo specialises in shrimp farming technology. Could you elaborate on the IoT system they offer and how it contributes to improved shrimp farming practices and sustainability?

Fabian Reusch: HydroNeo’s smart farm management system ensures optimal 24×7 pond conditions through real-time water monitoring and automation. Providing comprehensive real-time data on water quality and environmental conditions improves shrimp farming practices and sustainability.

These data empower farmers to make informed decisions and optimise their operations, potentially resulting in savings of up to 50 per cent in energy costs through the smart automation of aeration based on real-time sensor data.

Additionally, we help farmers in reducing their operations’ environmental impact.

How does HydroNeo’s technology address high volatility in production?

Fabian Reusch: Shrimp farmers suffer from high volatility in production, which is the result of high mortality events that can happen either through water quality problems (e.g. algae crash situations where the mass-die off of plankton depletes almost all oxygen in a pond) or diseases spreading.

HydroNeo’s technology effectively addresses the challenges related to rapid changes in water parameters on shrimp farms directly and even partial diseases indirectly. It continuously monitors critical water parameters, including Dissolved Oxygen (DO), temperature, pH levels, and more, ensuring that the farm’s water quality remains within the desired range to provide the animals with a safe environment for healthy growth. Strong and healthy animals are less prone to being infected by diseases. When the water conditions are not optimal, the system promptly alerts and recommends actions to farmers while automating equipment operation as needed. This technology has generally led to improved water quality management and, subsequently, enhanced shrimp farming practices.

Could you discuss the role of advanced automation features in HydroNeo’s smart farming solution and how they contribute to energy conservation and sustainability in shrimp farming?

Fabian Reusch: The advanced automation feature in HydroNeo’s smart farm management system plays a pivotal role in achieving energy saving and promoting sustainability in shrimp farming. Through our technology, shrimp farmers can save on average 30 per cent on energy costs, translating to roughly 20 tons of CO2 savings per pond per year by implementing smart automation for aeration. This automation is based on real-time sensor data, allowing precise and efficient management of aeration levels.

Additionally, our system helps reduce labour-intensive schedules, providing 24×7 remote monitoring and control capabilities through mobile applications. This not only optimises resource allocation but also minimises the need for manual control, making shrimp farming more sustainable and less resource-intensive. These automation features are integral to our commitment to enhancing energy efficiency and sustainability in the aquaculture industry.

Full Circle Biotechnology’s insect-based feed additive is said to be an alternative to soymeal and fishmeal. What makes it a more sustainable choice, and how does it impact the aquaculture industry?

Felix Reusch: The carbon footprint of fishmeal can be astronomical — the ocean is the biggest carbon sink we have, and the ocean floor getting churned up by harvesting can release massive amounts of carbon. Soy footprints are lower than fishmeal, but both can involve biodiversity loss (in soy’s case, it’s via deforestation to use nutrient-rich soil). This impacts the aqua industry massively as consumers increasingly keep sustainability in mind.

The potential for EU climate taxes could have significant negative impacts on Asia’s aquaculture industry, potentially making seafood from Asia (often more affordable) much more expensive, reducing market demand and impacting nations’ entire economies. A lack of sustainable methods can put the economic growth of countries at risk, let alone the aquaculture industry.

How do small-scale farmers stand to benefit from the partnership between Full Circle and HydroNeo, especially in terms of their livelihoods and sustainability?

Felix Reusch: Two things besides volatile food prices keep farmers up at night: energy costs and feed costs. HydroNeo makes it easy for farmers to improve their sustainability and reduce energy costs overnight. Full Circle slots right into this model, doing the same with their feed. HydroNeo’s commendable application makes checking on energy use easy and accessible, but it also provides a streamlined approach to reducing feed costs with our system. By increasing yields, farmers can build up their revenue, while hydroneo reduces their costs. This opens up more cash to improve their livelihoods.

AI-powered tools and technologies have revolutionised how companies interact with their customers, analyse data, and make informed decisions. By leveraging machine learning algorithms, companies can better understand consumer behaviour and preferences, leading to more effective and targeted marketing strategies. Additionally, AI-powered chatbots and virtual assistants improve customer service by providing instant responses and resolving queries, ultimately enhancing brand loyalty and trust.

Moreover, when it comes to marketing, AI offers valuable insights into media trends, sentiment analysis, and social media chatter. This allows brands to stay ahead of the curve, respond promptly to emerging issues, and tailor communication strategies accordingly in ways that engage and appeal to the human aspect of different markets. 

This is why Koltiva, an end-to-end tech solution provider, believes in the art of conversational AI as a tool towards humanising technology in ways that transform customer experience for business.

Humanising AI: The Koltiva way

Offering human-centred technology and boots-on-the-ground solutions, Koltiva aims to be the world’s leading tech company in building ethical, transparent, and sustainable supply chains. It is a high-performance organisation that digitises agribusinesses and helps smallholder producers transition to sustainable practices and traceable sourcing.

With roots in Indonesia, Koltiva has a worldwide reach. The team works with producers in 52 countries, and almost half of these smallholders are in Indonesia.

The company helps businesses and their suppliers with traceability solutions to comply with ever-changing regulations and consumer demands worldwide. Operating in more than 52 countries and fortified by a network of 15 customer support offices, Koltiva is steadfast in supporting over 6,500 enterprises in establishing transparent and robust supply chains while empowering over 1,000,000 producers to increase their annual income.

Tika Sylvia, the Chief Marketing Officer at Koltiva, explained that “Marketing is not something we do for people. It’s something we do for people, from people to people.” She elaborated that the secret sauce of innovating products to market in this digital era is humanising technology through emotional aspects in brand strategy. “Don’t just digitise, but humanise. People do not buy products and services. They buy relations, emotions, and stories. It is really about people. People buy technology from people,” she added.

The art of conversational AI through Koltiva

For individuals with extensive experience in the fields of marketing, public relations, and brand management, harnessing AI for experiments and trials has opened up new horizons in their regular jobs. Koltiva best exemplifies this through Tika’s background as a marketeer, public relations professional, and brand practitioner, illustrating in her work how Koltiva has evolved through the strategic implementation of AI.

As of writing, Kolitva is currently creating an AI Chatbot Solution tailored for the Aquaculture and Fisheries industry, specifically targeting smallholder producers within those sectors. This application is designed to offer insights into Good Agriculture Practices, enabling producers to ask questions related to aquaculture and fisheries in their native language.

  • Insights and Reports, enabling them to access valuable information on the platform dashboard, track users’ chat behaviour, and question histories to see conversational trends.

Leveraging AI-powered chatbots

To boost the conversion rate of inbound leads and marketing qualified leads, Koltiva has also taken a series of innovative steps in the chatbot area:

  • Enhancing CR from Inbound Leads to MQLs. AI plays a pivotal role in guiding lead nurturing through prompt responses to tailored inquiries from inbound leads, ultimately yielding more effective Marketing Qualified Leads (MQLs) aligned with Koltiva’s business objectives. Consequently, this strategy leads to an increase in the percentage of Inbound Leads successfully converting into MQLs.
  • Instant Engagement through AI chatbots that are available 24/7, providing instant responses to user queries. This real-time engagement ensures that potential leads are captured at any hour of the day, enhancing the chances of conversion.
  • Qualification and Segmentation are achieved through chatbots that can be programmed to ask qualifying questions. By doing so, they can categorise leads based on specific criteria, helping businesses focus their efforts on the most promising prospects.
  • Personalisation through AI chatbots that use collected data to personalise interactions. They can address leads by name, provide tailored recommendations, and offer content that aligns with the lead’s interests.
  • Lead Nurturing is also equally important, which underscores the importance of chatbots that can initiate lead nurturing sequences, sending follow-up messages, and content to keep potential customers engaged and moving through the sales funnel.
  • Finally, Koltiva believes in Cost Efficiency. Chatbots can handle a large volume of interactions simultaneously, reducing the need for extensive human customer support teams. This cost-effective approach allows businesses to allocate resources more efficiently.
