Easy gains (within reach) when upgrading to digital monitoring and production management? Mette Cristine Schou Frandsen, OxyGuard International
As our planet’s population grows and severe climate concerns increase, a new GREEN mindset must also be a BLUE mindset involving a circular economy to reduce environmental exploitation and regain valuable limited natural resources.
