LONDON — The UK's Supreme Court has rejected a claim that sought billions of pounds in damages from Google over allegedly illegal tracking of millions of iPhones, BBC reported.The judge said that the claimant had failed to prove damage had been caused to individuals by the data collection.But he did not rule out the possibility of future mass-action lawsuits if damages could be calculated.The case will have implications for similar mass action lawsuits.In his judgement, Lord Leggatt said a key issue was that "the claim has been framed in order to try to bring it as a representative action" for many people."The claimant seeks damages... for each individual member of the represented class without attempting to show that any wrongful use was made by Google of personal...

A European project that aims to create more energy from roads in a cost-effective and efficient way using photovoltaics.
Solar cells on roads, a new direction for Europe's energy transition
BRUSSELS — Together, Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands have over 800,000 kilometers of road that could be used for some of our energy needs.On a 400-meter-long stretch of motorway in the Netherlands, sound barriers not only reduce noise, but they also create green energy for 60 local households as they are equipped with solar panels.This renewable energy pilot scheme has inspired 'Rolling Solar', a European project that aims to create more energy from roads in a cost-effective and efficient way using photovoltaics.The total cost of the 'Rolling Solar' project is 5.7 million euros and over 2.8 million of this is financed by the European Cohesion Policy.

 Less than 20% of used electronics are currently recycled.
Recycling Middle East's e-waste in Dubai
DUBAI — Across the globe, electronic waste is piling up. In 2019, over 53 million metric tons of electronics ended up in the trash, and that number is expected to double by 2050, according to a BBC report.But less than 20% of used electronics are currently recycled. This means a lot of valuable resources are literally going to waste.Among the components are bits of silver, copper, gold and steel. In total, scraps of electronic devices represented $57 billion-worth of resources in 2019, of which $47 billion-worth wasn't recycled.Africa holds the lowest rate of formal e-waste recycling in the world -- only 1% of binned devices are redirected to recycling plants. But Enviroserve, one of the world's largest electronics recyclers, see this as an opportunity.With e-waste on the rise...
