	<title>Standing strong together: Why protecting your workers matters more than ever</title>
	<link>https://www.bizcommunity.com/article/standing-strong-together-why-protecting-your-workers-matters-more-than-ever-627601a</link>
	<description>When we talk about financial wellness in South Africa, the conversation often drifts toward familiar territory: budgeting, debt, savings, maybe even retirement planning if things are going well. But those ideas usually centre on people who work behind desks, with access to HR teams, online portals, and structured benefits. The reality looks very different for the millions of frontline workers who keep the country running long before most office workers start their day.</description>

	<title>Polymer bearings can decarbonise the beer industry</title>
	<link>https://www.bizcommunity.com/article/polymer-bearings-can-decarbonise-the-beer-industry-903144a</link>
	<description>A recent study by RWTH Aachen University and Igus has measured the cost and environmental advantages of using polymer bearings without lubrication instead of metal bearings. This research indicates savings of up to millions annually on lubricants and a significant decrease in ecological footprint. Igus' high-performance plastic bearings do away with the need for regular lubrication, which can also save many labour hours devoted to relubrication every year.</description>
