More sustainable suits and co-ords

Suits—and matching sets in general—rarely go out of fashion, which makes them a great investment for capsule wardrobes, especially because they can often be styled with so many other items of clothing. You could wear a blazer with your favourite dress, for instance, or try the skirt from a co-ord set with a different top. Equally, when worn together, matching items instantly make your outfit look considered and well-curated.

The items we’ve selected below are some of our favourite options from “Good” and “Great”-rated brands, though we’d always advise seeking out second-hand options before buying something new. Suits are plentiful in thrift shops—you can pick up a beautifully made two-piece at a fraction of the cost it would be when new, and give it a whole new life in your wardrobe. And don’t let sizing be a barrier, either —a trip to a local tailor to adjust the fit can really pay off. If you’re looking for something new, though, scroll on to discover our pick of the items you can add to your wardrobe now and keep forever.

ABB receives EPD status for gearless mill drive ring motor

ABB receives EPD status for gearless mill drive ring motor

ABB has gained Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) status for its Gearless Mill Drive (GMD) ring motor — technology used to drive large grinding mills in the mining industry.

An EPD is a standardised document that provides detailed information about the environmental impact of a product throughout its life cycle. Based on a comprehensive Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) study, the EPD highlights ABB’s commitment to transparency, environmental responsibility and supporting customers in making informed decisions on sustainability in their supply chains.

ABB analysed the environmental impact of a ring motor across its entire life cycle from supply chain and production to usage and end-of-life disposal. The study was conducted for a ring motor of a semi-autogenous grinding (SAG) mill with an installed power of 24 MW and was based on a reference service life of 25 years.

“Sustainability is at the core of our purpose at ABB, influencing how we operate and innovate for customers,” said Andrea Quinta, Sustainability Specialist at ABB. “By earning the Environmental Product Declaration for our ring motor, we emphasise our environmental stewardship and industry leadership for this technology. We adhered to the highest standards throughout this process, as we do in the ABB Ring Motor factory every day. This recognition highlights to the mining industry what they are bringing into their own operations when they work with ABB.”

The comprehensive LCA was conducted at ABB’s factory in Bilbao, Spain, and was externally verified and published in accordance with international standards ISO 14025 and ISO 14040/14044. It will remain valid for five years.

The ring motor, a key component of the GMD, is a drive system without any gears where the transmission of the torque between the motor and the mill is done through the magnetic field in the air gap between the motor stator and the motor rotor. It optimises grinding applications in the minerals and mining industries by enabling variable-speed operation, leading to energy and cost savings.

The full EPD for the ABB GMD Ring Motor can be viewed on EPD International.
