Roche chairman calls industrial subsidies a ‘waste of money’

Roche's Chairman, Severin Schwan, has criticised the recent surge in industrial subsidies provided by governments in the US and Europe, calling them a waste of money. Schwan believes that these subsidies distort competition and hinder a level playing field. The US and the European Union have accused China of giving its companies an unfair advantage through subsidies. While Schwan did not comment on China's subsidy policies, he suggested that the country should not try to match Western subsidy initiatives, urging them to focus on investing in basic research instead.

How Jaipur’s ECOWRAP Is Using AI To Make Waste Segregation Sustainable

India currently faces a significant waste management crisis due to its rapid urbanization and industrial growth. The country produces over 50 million metric tonnes of municipal solid waste annually, which is expected to increase to 125 million metric tonnes by 2031. Proper segregation of biodegradable, recyclable, and non-recyclable materials is crucial for effective waste management. While there are guidelines and licenses required for setting up recycling units, waste collection is not mandatory. Efforts like the iStart initiative have helped in building partnerships and improving waste management practices. Despite the collection of a significant amount of waste, a portion still goes unaccounted for or ends up in landfills.
