There’s a lot we take for granted in our everyday lives. Our commutes to work, washing machines that spare us a lot of trouble, and the energy that lights our homes by the flip of a switch. Bearings are the masterminds behind many of these everyday and industrial applications, ensuring the world runs smoothly, and safely. And there are different types – all with unique features and benefits. We’ve put together an easy guide to get you up to speed on these clever rolling elements.

When everything comes full circle♻️ The circular economy comes with benefits beyond environmental gains, as it also foresees the creation of new jobs in remanufacturing and repair work. According to Green Alliance, transforming the UK’s approach to repair, reuse, recycling and remanufacture could create more than 450,000 jobs across the country by 2035.

“Transforming the UK’s approach” to the circular economy could create 450,000 jobs across the country by 2035, the Green Alliance says.

Only 9.1% of the world economy is currently circular – not even close to where we need to be, considering that:

🌍🌍We currently need 1.7 planets to provide for our current use of resources & to absorb our waste

⛰️53,000,000,000 tons of resources have been extracted from Earth this year

🌳17,000,000 hectares of forests have been cut down or burned this year

🐟We have an estimated 26 years left of seafood given our current pace

📈25,000,000,000 tons of CO2 have been emitted into the atmosphere this year

At Machine Compare, we don’t intend to sit back and do nothing.

We’re fighting an important battle towards an industrial future that is circular and transparent by default not because it’s a 'nice to have', but because our future depends on it.

How cool is this?👀 Engineers at the University of California, San Diego have developed a thin, flexible strip that can be worn on a fingertip and generates small amounts of electricity when a person sweats or presses on it. The sweat-fueled device could power a whole new generation of wearables by harnessing the energy extracted from human sweat even when a person is not moving: https://hubs.li/H0Ts3qL0

A new wearable device that can serve as a phone charger has recently been developed by researchers from the University of California, San Diego.

“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking that created them” – Einstein.

For decades, a colossal amount of industrial spare parts has been sent to an early grave, long before leaving their original packaging.

Much of this comes down to the vicious cycles created by overstocking, occurring due to:
⚙️A fear of stock outs
📉Ineffective promotional marketing
🗂Insufficient inventory management
📆Seasonality

Tackling the issue of surplus stock ending up in landfills means rethinking “unused” and recognising that unused spare parts are as good as new. That way, we can put them back into the market where they belong, saving our precious resources. Discover more about the fight we have on our hands here: https://hubs.li/H0Ts53p0

This Earth Overshoot day we’ve taken to some dirty statistics around our collective waste – diving deep into the massive waste piles we generate around the world every hour, minute and second, unravelling just how many resources we use up. Discover more here: https://hubs.li/H0T9VG60

⛔️Warning, this may be too much for some to handle...

Our waste gives ample cues into our compulsive use of resources, revealing the colossal amounts of things that pile up on our lands and in our oceans around the world.
