  As part of its ongoing commitment to sustainability, Seco is making a significant change to its product packaging. The company is transitioning to environmentally friendly packaging made from 98-100% recycled materials, a move that will result in an estimated reduction of 131 tons of CO₂ emissions annually.  This transition is a key step toward the ambitious sustainability goals of Seco, including achieving operational net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2035 and reaching 90% circularity by 2030. The new packaging, made of 98-100% recycled Polypropylene or Polyethylene depending on the supplier,…

Author: Dr Shababa Selim, Senior Technology Analyst at IDTechEx Parallel computer architectures, such as those deployed for modern high-performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI) workloads, frequently encounter memory bottlenecks that limit performance, known as the 'memory wall'. Historically, this has stemmed from the advances in processor performance (e.g. CPUs, GPUs, and other AI accelerators) outpacing developments in memory performance. This poses significant challenges for data-intensive HPC and AI workloads, where bottlenecks lead to under-utilization of processors. IDTechEx's report “Hardware for HPC, Data Centers, and AI 2025-2035: Technologies, Markets, Forecasts” critically…

Author: Conrad Nichols, Senior Technology Analyst at IDTechEx Retired electric vehicle (EV) batteries can be repurposed for second-life applications such as stationary energy storage and lower power electromobility applications. In some cases, cells or modules can be replaced with new counterparts, which would see EV batteries remanufactured and have their first life extended for use in an EV. These cases all extend the lifetime of the EV battery, maximize its value, and can reduce the CO2 associated with the battery (e.g., production, transportation, recycling) per kWh discharged over the entire lifetime of…
