And there are plenty more gaps that need closing as well: recent reports on American brands and the automotive industry show that overall there is a lot more talk than action when it comes to sustainability. But besides the negative examples, there are at least as many that give us hope, such as plastics recycling in India, a new technology for rare earth recycling, or new concepts for business models for electronics.
