A new report says Australia is doing dismally on cutting energy use, at the ‘back of the pack’ when compared to most of the world. Over nearly a decade starting in 2002 Australia reportedly cut energy consumption by just 1%, way behind places like Europe & Japan……and with even the USA cutting it by 12%. That […]
Australia Gets Smart About Smart Meters
I’m glad to see a new study calling for all Aussie homes to have smart meters installed…..a 100% uptake by the end of the decade in other words. Smart meters have been around since the day dot but really only in a half hearted way. Smart meters—just to remind you—measure energy usage digitally and allow […]
“Wire For Wireless”
I caught up with Ivan Rostas of Stratus Integrated Systems recently, an early fan of Smart Wiring when we still called it structured cabling. He had a great story to tell. Ivan did the Smart Wiring course way back in 2004 and began promoting it on his web site which then caught the eye of […]
5.3B Mobiles Go To Waste
There are apparently 16B mobile phones in the world right now, but over 5B of them will be discarded or stashed away just this year. In other words wasted, despite most of them containing valuable copper, gold, silver, palladium and other recyclable parts. In fact the WEEE Forum says almost all these old mobiles will […]

IMARC 2022 Tackles Sector’s Gender Divide
Closing the gender gap in mining is not only a matter of equity, it also makes business sense, according to five Australian experts who will be addressing the International Mining and Resources Conference (IMARC) in Sydney in November. As a whole, the mining industry is trying to address the under-representation of women in mining. Statistics […]
Farewell to Sandfire’s Karl Simich
I recently learned that Karl Simich, Sandfire’s CEO & Managing Director, was stepping down after, as he put it, “15 incredible years”. He’s right. Karl has been at the helm of what has proved to be a great copper company and a member of the International Copper Association Australia nearly from the start of his […]
Copper Helps Restore ‘Urban Artefact’
A wooden structure from the era of the Qing dynasty has been restored into a teahouse in Fuzhou, China, using copper cladding that transforms the historic building into an ‘urban artefact’. Neri&Hu, the Shanghai-based studio behind the astonishing transformation, said “the teahouse internalises a piece of distinct heritage at a time when rapid new development […]
