Fifth industrial revolution, did you think you read it wrong? No, the world has evolved rapidly and great milestones have marked history. Far ahead from the steam engine, the invention of electricity, automated production, digitization and now, a fifth industrial revolution is born even when the fourth is still in force, coming loaded with challenges with the promise of a more sustainable future.
Sustainability, circular economy and technology are fundamental pillars of the fifth industrial revolution that aims at products, processes and technologies designed to minimize the waste of raw materials, and that are environmentally friendly and sustainable. Biotechnology, nanotechnology, biodegradable and compostable materials seek to reach a balance between technological development and quality of life.
Companies like Glasst Innovation work on the foundations of the fourth and fifth industrial revolutions, combining innovation, engineering and development with sustainability. The premise; to leave a positive footprint, protecting people and planet Earth.
How is this accomplished? by developing new materials for the next 50 years, in order to create a sustainable future. Reinventing existing markets and turning them into new businesses. Starting from large industry’s real problems and facing paradigms to find solutions that respect the environment. What if we defy the laws of physics and chemistry?
This process of developing innovative and sustainable products is not linear, much less easy, it requires research, perseverance, frustration in the face of error, lots of learning, courage to try again and finally success. And once again with a new challenge, a new problem, we are faced to start the innovative process again to find an even better solution each time.
This path has led Glasst Innovation, a Colombian company, to develop six different products and services, one of them with a patent via PCT and three in the process of launching, all of them aimed at solving real problems in large industries and in people’s daily lives. All of them with a very high sustainability component and with an excellent performance vs. cost ratio.
