Alliance to End Plastic Waste Solution Model Playbooks Document Comprehensive and Integrated Solutions to Enable Plastic Circularity


SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 17 April 2024 – The Alliance to End Plastic Waste has published the first two in a series of ‘Solution Model’ playbooks, to improve the understanding of the many stakeholders across the plastic value chain about what is possible and what else is needed to drive systems change to end plastic waste in the environment and develop a circular economy for plastics.

National and regional governments, companies, and communities across the world face the issue of plastic pollution, for which there is no one-size-fits-all solution. The Alliance initiated the concept of Solution Models as an important component of its mission. Specifically, this involves the development, de-risking, and demonstration of solutions to address different sources of plastic waste in different situations. All of this aligns with the Alliance’s key goals to reduce unmanaged waste, capture value from waste, create social benefit, and mitigate climate impact.

Each solution is tested through Alliance projects. As the projects and solutions mature, the Alliance combines these findings with existing industry experience to develop Solution Models, which the Alliance hopes will further improve replication and scaling in collaboration with partners. It has worked in collaboration with Boston Consulting Group (BCG) to create playbooks to support this. The first two playbooks are about Engaging Households in Segregated Municipal Waste Collection and Unlocking Value Through Basic Manual Sorting of Municipal Waste.

The first addresses household waste segregation which can significantly improve the volume and quality of material collected for recycling, while reducing sorting costs and decreasing landfill disposal. The playbook maps the steps Alliance project partners have taken to encourage households to separate the waste ‘at source’, in projects implemented in Argentina, China, India, and Indonesia.

The second playbook highlights the improved value recovery of plastic waste for recycling, including the use of simple and low-cost equipment to improve the ergonomics and speed of basic manual sorting. The Solution Model expressed in this playbook is particularly relevant to countries which have limited collection and treatment infrastructure, or those with early-stage recycling systems. Alliance projects that underpin this Solution Model can be found in Brazil, China, Indonesia, and Kenya.

In essence, the playbooks describe the challenges presented by the activities of each solution, how they were addressed in the projects, the lessons the Alliance has learnt, and its successes. They also record the enabling conditions necessary to implement the solutions, from policy levers to ecosystem conditions, business models, and innovation. The Alliance and BCG will continue to collaborate and, where applicable, update these playbooks as the solutions are strengthened.

The Alliance hopes that the playbooks will encourage other organisations to scale and replicate these solutions, taking on the lessons the Alliance has learnt and the identified critical success factors. This will enable acceleration of the common interest to prevent plastic waste from entering the environment.

Jacob Duer, President and CEO at the Alliance, said, “There is a need for solutions that are environmentally beneficial, socially responsible, and economically viable; and therefore, replicable and scalable if we are to advance the transition into a circular economy for plastics.”

“The plastic waste challenge is complex and requires a systems evolution from the current take-make-dispose model to a circular one that encourages reuse and recycle, alongside a range of other solutions required to address plastic pollution. To encourage this, we need investments and solutions that improve waste management, support behaviour change, and promote innovation.”

“We have not wavered in our aspiration to drive the systems change necessary to achieve full plastics circularity. This is a journey no organisation can approach alone, nor is there a silver bullet. We are calling for like-minded partners from across the public and private spheres to collaborate with us in furthering the development, strengthening, and implementation of current and future Solution Models.”

Marc Schmidt, Managing Director and Partner at BCG, Singapore, said, “The leakage of plastic waste into the environment is a critical issue that urgently needs tackling by working together with a wide range of stakeholders. We understand this is a big challenge.”

“We believe in creating practical, instructional solutions that can be easily implemented locally, tailored to the specific needs and context of a community dealing with plastic or waste issues. By scaling and replicating these solutions, we increase their impact significantly. We encourage local project developers to use these playbooks as a foundation and further develop and implement them.”

An in-depth introduction to the concept of Solution Models accompanied by a framework for documenting solutions can be found in a whitepaper published alongside the first two playbooks. Additional Solution Model playbooks are scheduled for release later in the year.

With our diverse product range, fast-growing global sales network, outstanding after-sales policy, and our groundbreaking battery subscription policy, VinFast has outlined a clear roadmap for the rest of the year and remains committed to our target of delivering 100,000 electric vehicles in 2024.”

Ms Anh Nguyen, VinFast Chief Financial Officer, added: “We remain steadfastly committed to driving continuous improvements across our business. Our focus on materials optimization, scale advantages, and disciplined cost management will be key to delivering sustained value for our shareholders.”

Deliveries and Revenues Soar in the First Quarter Compared to the Same Period in 2023

VinFast delivered a total of 9,689 vehicles in the first quarter of 2024, marking an increase of 444% year-over-year (YoY).

Total revenues were US$302.6 million, representing an increase of 269.7% from the first quarter of 2023. This growth was driven by successful new campaigns like the expansion of VinFast’s dealership network and customer interest in new electric car models.

Gross loss in the first quarter of 2024 was US$150.8 million, while gross margin improved from negative (172.9%) in the first quarter of 2023 to negative (49.8%) in the first quarter of 2024.

VinFast is Building Strong Foundations to Support H2 Growth

In the first quarter of 2024, VinFast continued to closely follow its global growth roadmap by launching its brand in Thailand and Indonesia, establishing a presence in the Middle East, beginning construction of its manufacturing facility in India, and ramping up its sales network globally.

While domestic sales still drove most of the revenues this quarter, VinFast recorded encouraging growth in the U.S. market, with several new dealers reporting sales figures.

In the first quarter of 2024, VinFast has also secured partnerships with 10 new dealers, bringing its total U.S. network to 16 dealers across 7 states, including North Carolina, New York, Texas, Florida, Kansas, Connecticut, and Kentucky. These newly signed dealerships will begin operations in the second quarter.

Beyond current markets, VinFast is also ramping up its presence and sales efforts in markets across Southeast Asia. At the 2024 Bangkok International Motor Show, the Company officially launched its brand in Thailand and signed Letters of Intent with 15 dealers, with a target of operating 22 stores in Bangkok.

In Indonesia, VinFast officially opened its first dealer store and started sales of the VF e34, a C-segment electric SUV. Notably, the Company has implemented a unique battery subscription policy within the market, specifically designed to incentivize Indonesian consumers to switch to electric vehicles by offering lower initial and operating costs.

In March, VinFast officially started deliveries of its C-segment electric SUV VF 7 to customers in Vietnam.

The Company also expanded its global footprint with first distribution agreements signed in Oman, Ghana, and Micronesia.

VinFast Remains Committed to the Goal of Delivering 100,000 Vehicles in 2024

Despite marco-economic challenges facing the electric vehicle industry, VinFast has established clear plans and remains committed to the target of delivering 100,000 electric cars in 2024, with the majority of deliveries expected in the second half of the year.

Schneider Electric and NVIDIA Redefine AI Data Center Design for Performance and Efficiency


HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 17 April 2024 – Schneider Electric, the leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, shared a collaboration with NVIDIA to optimize data center infrastructure and pave the way for groundbreaking advancements in edge artificial intelligence (AI) and digital twin technologies. To assist IT professionals in addressing persistent pain points related to IT deployment in data centers and distributed edge IT environments, Schneider Electric has introduced Intelligent Micro Data Center One, an order-to-site assembly solution package covering power, cooling, security, and monitoring into a single enclosure. Simultaneously, Schneider Electric has launched the APC Smart-UPS Ultra, the industry’s smallest and lightest, single-phase 8 and 10kW uninterruptible power supply, and the latest evolution of gas-insulated switchgear with pure air technology and digital connectivity, SF6-free switchgear for medium voltage.

“We’re unlocking the future of AI for organizations,” said Pankaj Sharma, Executive Vice President of Secure Power Division & Data Center Business at Schneider Electric “By combining our expertise in data center solutions with NVIDIA’s leadership in AI technologies, we’re helping organizations to overcome data center infrastructure limitations and unlock the full potential of AI. Our collaboration with NVIDIA paves the way for a more efficient, sustainable, and transformative future powered by AI.”

Cutting-Edge Data Center Reference Designs

Schneider Electric is leveraging its expertise in data center infrastructure and NVIDIA’s advanced AI technologies to introduce the first publicly available AI data center reference designs. These designs are set to redefine the benchmarks for AI deployment and operation within data center ecosystems, marking a significant milestone in the industry’s evolution.

With AI applications gaining traction across industries and demanding more resources than traditional computing, the need for processing power has surged exponentially. The rise of AI has spurred notable transformations and complexities in data center design and operation, with data center operators working to swiftly construct and operate energy-stable facilities that are both energy-efficient and scalable.

Schneider Electric will introduce cutting-edge data center designs tailored for NVIDIA’s AI workloads, such as data processing, engineering simulation, and generative AI. The company aims to help data center owners integrate AI solutions efficiently, enhance deployment, and ensure reliable operations. In addition, AVEVA, a subsidiary of Schneider Electric, will connect its digital twin platform to NVIDIA Omniverse, enabling seamless collaboration between designers, engineers, and stakeholders and reducing time to market and costs for data center operators.

Innovative solutions for Resilient, Sustainable, Adaptive and Efficient IT Infrastructure in Data Centers and Distributed IT

“With the recent explosion and popularity of AI, data centers have taken a leading role in driving digitization and electrification. Data centers are crucial for the most advanced systems and act as catalysts for sustainable progress across all industries. Simultaneously, the rapid advancement of digital technologies, the rise of edge IT, and the increasing adoption of IoT applications have generated a growing demand for computing, networking, and storage resources in edge IT environments. This demand arises from the convergence of operation technology (OT) and the need for close proximity to support critical business processes and enhance user experiences.” shared Steven Lee, Director, Secure Power, Power Systems and Industrial Automation, Schneider Electric Hong Kong.

As a pioneer in innovation, Schneider Electric is committed to delivering innovative solutions that address the unique challenges of a digital and energy-conscious world. By harnessing the power of digitization, AI, and IoT, Schneider Electric is shaping a more efficient, resilient, adaptive, and sustainable future for data centers and edge IT.

  • Schneider Electric’s Intelligent Micro Data Center One (IMDC One) offers an order-to-site assembly solution package that combines power, cooling, security, and monitoring into a single enclosure for up to 7kW IT load. This eliminates the need for an IT room, deploys 20% faster, and can save up to 50% on capital expenditure (CAPEX). The IMDC is scalable for up to three racks, providing standalone Edge IT capacity in branch offices, commercial buildings in semi-controlled environments, and wiring closets. This affordable solution offers a one-stop professional service with a fast response time, enabling simple and rapid deployment in weeks instead of months for customers, enabling seamless customer experiences and optimized business operations at the edge.

  • Schneider Electric has expanded its APC Smart-UPS Ultra to 8kW and 10kW. This UPS is the world’s smallest and lightest single-phase 8kW and 10kW UPS. It offers customers more scalable power while taking up minimal space. The extended range of UPS is 30% smaller, 50% lighter, and 1.5x more power-dense than comparable offerings in a 4U footprint. The UPS with Lithium-ion battery could last for about eight to ten years and has longer battery life than VRLA for three times. The UPS can also connect up to ten external battery packs to cover extended runtime.

  • Medium voltage (MV) switchgear is critical for electrical distribution. However, most MV equipment has SF6 gas, which acts as a potent electrical insulator and emits a greenhouse gas 23,500 times stronger than CO2. Proper disposal of end-of-life switchgear is essential to prevent the release of SF6 into the atmosphere and avoid costly compliance measures. By transitioning to SF6-free switchgear, these challenges can be mitigated. Schneider Electric’s AirSeT innovation combines the latest gas-insulated switchgear with pure air technology and digital connectivity. It’s a sustainable solution that enables grid operators to modernize and decarbonize the grid while improving operational performance and reliability.
