  • 1 - EMC Podcast Phoenix #1 - The struggle for the resource sand in Emerging Markets

    The first episode of the EMC's podcast series Phoenix deals with an ever more critical but widely neglected resource constraint: the scarcity of sand. EMC host Tilman welcomes the resource and sustainability expert Martin Hillenbrand. The third most important resource for mankind, directly after air and water, is used in many elementary processes, such as construction of buildings and infrastructure, but also the production of silicone and glass. But drives the scarcity while deserts are simultaneously growing? What threatens us when we run out of sand? And how can this dangerous trend be discontinued? The episode responds to these fundamental questions and also provides insights into the dubious practices of key players - among them a notorious sand mafia? Check it out!
