Building circular supply chains in which suppliers and purchasers continually cycle nutrients and/or materials through the supply chain can also be useful in terms of maximising revenue. Furthermore, realising revenue through selling by-products to other companies for reuse, recycling or remanufacturing (in addition to waste reduction and cost savings) is also a possibility. Speaking of cost savings, enterprises will need to reduce their reliance on inputs made from new materials and avoid continued extraction of natural resources, as well as using fewer resources – such as energy and water. Infosys, being a pioneer in sustainability practices and having attained carbon neutrality 30 years ahead of the timeline set by the 2016 Paris Agreement, has been leveraging the Microsoft stack to build a sustainable and equitable digital future. Our digital solutions are helping companies reach their net-zero targets by transforming their operational performance through streamlined processing and analysis of huge amounts of data. Infosys partnered with a next-generation waste management company to lay the foundation for their future optimisation, harmonisation and centralisation, that offered greater flexibility to sustainable business operations and accelerated their alignment to the circular economy. The Microsoft Practice at Infosys has built a one-stop solution, called SEGWAY, with waste management capabilities. SEGWAY helps enterprises streamline their waste management processes across various stages. It facilitates waste producers, collectors and processors with end-to-end processes, experience layers, workflows and a preconfigured data model to navigate the different stages of waste management – such as pick up and transfer, collection and weighing, segregation and processing – in a seamless manner.
