While refurbished device marketplaces like Back Market have raised substantial amounts in funding (Back Market reached a $5.7B valuation last year after a D round) and Raylo in the UK provides leases for electronics (it’s raised raised $180.6M from the likes of Octopus Ventures and Channel 4 Ventures), the device leasing services for small businesses and enterprises powered by venture funding is relatively unexplored.

Compared to single-species forests, mixed forests are also more resilient to pests, diseases, and climatic disturbances, which increases their long-term carbon storage potential. The delivery of other ecosystem services is also greater in mixed species forests, and they support higher levels of biodiversity. Although the benefits of…

It also said that the overall negative impacts of the design outweigh the benefits, however planning inspector Graham Wyatt has now given the plans the green light but did say he recognises there are still some concerns. How the buildings will look (Image: Lewes District Council) Mr Wyatt said that while he accepts the building will be…
