Demographic growth and urbanization have created an increased use of water. The miscommunication between final consumers and government, as well as a lack of proper treatment for wastewater have led us to an over use of the resource, polluting the ecosystems, degrading the soil and overall creating health hazards.
In Mexico, there is not enough wastewater treatment infrastructure. The cost of installation and maintenance are high, so therefore only 40% of wastewater gets some kind of treatment. This is becoming a health issue due to the fact that 70% of all crops are irrigated with polluted water. Not to mention the negative impact this pollution brings to all bodies of water. It’s very important to mention that 60% of wastewater comes from homes and not the industry. This is why it’s so important to develop technologies that are low-price, easy installation and minimum maintenance.

The impact of environmental pollution through the use of chemicals in personal care product compositions has become a very significant issue since 2000 in Indonesia. Many personal care products are labeled natural, but only as branding.
Starting with an interest in the concept of using truly natural ingredients in personal care products, Nadia Saib, then a student majoring in pharmacy, began to test the composition of apple soaps that are labeled as natural. The result of her testing proved that the soap did not contain extracts of apple, but did contain many chemicals less friendly to the body. In addition, she found that there are no regulations governing the use of chemicals or discerning when a product can use the word natural on the label.
Nadia Saib, now CEO of Wangsa Jelita, was inspired to create a business making personal care products that really are natural. 100% of the ingredients in the product are not harmful to the body and are instead, beneficial for customers, the environment, and society. In addition, they created Wangsa Jelita to empower rose farmers in the Lembang and Sarongge communities in Cianjur.

Halon is considered to be a dangerous substance if released to the earth atmosphere. Basically, Halon is a CFC (Chlorofluorocarbon) type of gas. Due to the hazard of this substance, an international event was held to limit the usage of this toxic substance. As a result, the production of halon gasses was put to a stop on the 1st of January 1994 as agreed internationally worldwide on the Montreal Protocol.
Although the production of Halon gases has been officially forbidden internationally, the usage of this Halon gas is allowed for certain areas, such as military, aviation, and nuclear uses where the superior fire suppression characteristics of Halon are still critical.
