According to the Global Footprint Network (GFN), Earth Overshoot Day 2025 fell on 24 July 2025 — the date when humanity has used up all the biological resources that the planet can renew this year. From this point forward, we are living in ecological debt, drawing down future resources instead of living within nature’s limits.
This year’s Overshoot Day reminds us that our collective consumption now requires 1.8 Earths to sustain — a level that is clearly unsustainable for the planet, people, and future generations.
Why Earth Overshoot Day Matters
Earth Overshoot Day is not just a date; it’s a global warning. It highlights the growing imbalance between human demand and the Earth’s ability to regenerate. For businesses, this has direct consequences — from rising energy and resource costs to increased regulatory pressures and reputational risks.
The message is clear: operating within one planet’s capacity is not just an environmental goal; it’s an essential business strategy for long-term resilience.
A Milestone Year for EPAS Ltd: Achieving PAS 2060 Carbon Neutral Certification
At EPAS Ltd, sustainability isn’t a buzzword — it’s embedded in everything we do.
That’s why we’re proud to announce that in 2025, EPAS Ltd achieved PAS 2060 certification, officially verifying our carbon-neutral status.
PAS 2060 is the internationally recognised standard for carbon neutrality, confirming that we have measured, reduced, and offset our greenhouse gas emissions following rigorous, transparent criteria. This certification marks an important milestone in our journey toward becoming a one-planet compatible business, aligning our operations with global climate goals and our clients’ sustainability objectives.
GreaseShield®: Innovation for a Cleaner, More Sustainable Future
Central to our sustainability strategy is our flagship product — GreaseShield®, the world’s most advanced and environmentally responsible FOG (Fats, Oils and Grease) recovery system.
Unlike conventional grease traps, GreaseShield® requires no chemicals, enzymes, or heating elements — dramatically reducing both environmental impact and operational costs. It’s engineered to separate and recover FOGs efficiently using mechanical and gravity principles, turning waste into a recoverable resource.
By preventing sewer blockages, reducing maintenance, and eliminating the need for energy-intensive systems, GreaseShield® directly contributes to reducing carbon emissions, improving water quality, and promoting a circular economy.
In essence, every GreaseShield® installed helps push Earth Overshoot Day back, one kitchen and one drainage system at a time.
Building a One-Planet Business
To truly move the date of Overshoot Day, we must transition from a take-make-waste model to a circular, regenerative economy. At EPAS Ltd, we’re supporting this shift through:
Sustainable Resource Management – Reducing energy, water, and material use through innovative FOG management and waste recovery solutions.
Circular Economy Practices – Turning waste streams into resources while designing systems for longevity and reuse.
Energy and Emission Reductions – Implementing efficient technologies that lower operational footprints and carbon emissions.
Certified Carbon Neutral Operations – Maintaining PAS 2060 carbon neutrality through verified measurement, reduction, and offsetting.
Client Collaboration – Helping our partners integrate sustainable technologies like GreaseShield® to meet their own ESG goals.
Why This Matters for Business
Becoming a one-planet compatible business isn’t only about compliance — it’s about securing the future. Companies that embed sustainability at their core gain:
Operational resilience – reduced exposure to resource volatility and regulation.
Cost efficiency – through energy savings, waste reduction, and process innovation.
Market advantage – by aligning with customer, investor, and regulatory expectations.
Brand credibility – through verified, measurable sustainability commitments such as PAS 2060.
