While otherwise a painstaking recycler, I've quit sorting plastics out of our waste. Because I know that the "recycling" bin for plastics leads straight to a furnace. Recycling plastics is not economically viable by far with known technology. It's been a marketing lie from the makers of plastics all along. It causes microplastics. Until Swedish authorities face up to this and give me a convincing reason to sort plastics, I'm not continuing the charade. #plastics #environment #recycling

Scientists Pioneer Chemical Bath Method to Restore Aging EV Batteries Without Breaking Them Down What if instead of investing billions into battery recycling plants, you could simply take your aging electric vehicle battery back, give it a good scrub, and get all that lost range back? That’s near the mark of what Cornell University scientists have recently demonstrated, if a little editorialized. Indeed, the current foreseen solution to the […] The post Scientists Pioneer Chemical Bath Method to Restore Aging EV Batteries Without Breaking Them Down appeared first on Good News Network.

"Die USA scheißen uns mit billigem Kunststoff einfach zu." "Wir subventionieren mit unseren Müllgebühren die Zementfabriken, die mit dem Verbrennen von Müll Geld sparen." Ich war Anfang der 90er beim besseren Müllkonzept dabei, habe den Grünen Punkt bekämpft, weil damals schon klar war was für ein Unsinn das ist. #Agnotology anybody? #Recycling #Lüge #Recyclinglüge #Müll. #Plastik #PFAShttps://youtu.be/iOxkucMbGOI?si=8q-3K0uCKGf1JpDD

Underway, #Knirps spotted this tractor and demanded we rescue it, so I pulled it out and chucked it in the trunk. Going to need some cleanup and repairs, I think. #Tractor #Toy #DumpsterDiving #Recycling

Ich war gerade Elektrobastelschrott (d.h. bei mir tatsächlich nur stofflich verwertbar) zum Mömbriser Recyclinghof "Klinger" bringen und was erblicken meine müden Augen dort? Sollte das wohl tatsächlich ein neuer "Tausch-Tisch" für noch funktionierende Elektrogeräte sein? 🤣 weit gefehlt... natürlich nicht! Auf Nachfrage klärt sich schnell: der ist nur für Leute, die nicht wissen, in welchen der 3 Container ihr Gerät gehört (die mit eingebauten Akkus müssen extra) #recycling #kreislaufwirtschaft

A lot of ‘recycled’ plastic is being burned overseas – and causing widespread pollution linked to health problems. #Airpollution #Burningplasticwaste #China #Indonesia #Plastic #Pollution #Recycling #Toxic #Wasteexportban #Wasteexportshttps://iwpost.com/a-lot-of-recycled-plastic-is-being-burned-overseas-and-causing-widespread-pollution-linked-to-health-problems/?fsp_sid=12980

#BuzzBallz are unrecyclable, and claims to the contrary are #greenwashing say recycling experts "The company behind the bright, pre-mixed cocktails that have taken Gen Z by storm said they were recyclable on its website, but experts say this is not true. BuzzBallz cannot be recycled as the PET plastic ball cannot be separated from the aluminium lid, global environmental action body WRAP said." I do think the need some sort of legislation to stop people launching consumer products in new types of packaging that can't be recycled by existing infrastructure, and will in fact mess up existing recycling systems with cross contamination. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cr490335z1eo #alcohol #recycling

I’m in the process of rebranding and don’t have business cards at the moment. So for tomorrow’s Open House market at Headrow House, Leeds I’ve cut up some lino misprints and stuck a label with my details on the back so they don’t go to waste! Grab some tape and visit me at markets enough times and you might be able to construct a free complete misprint of your own… 🧩 #Illustration #printmaking #linocut #linoprint #recycling

Another misprint cut up and recycled into business cards! At this point I’m just putting off getting proper cards printed because I enjoy making these so much 😛 #illustration #printmaking #linoprint #recycling #SustainableBusiness

Von mir aber auch ein #Dasistwichtig - Hinweis: Es gibt gerade auch aus der föderalen & mittelständischen Szene auch sehr gute Nachrichten! "Europas führendes Batterierecycling-Startup – hat seine erste industrielle Demonstrationsanlage in Deutschland in Betrieb genommen, die erstmals in großem Maßstab Altbatterien in heimische Lithium-, Graphit- und Nickel-Kobalt-Gemische umwandeln kann. tozero beginnt mit der Produktion von Lithium und anderen wichtigen Rohstoffen für die Energieunabhängigkeit Europas: Die in nur sechs Monaten errichtete industrielle Demonstrationsanlage stellt eine der bislang schnellsten Skalierungen im Bereich des Batterierecyclings dar. Die in Bayern im Chemiepark Gendorf gelegene Anlage wurde in einer Rekordzeit von sechs Monaten errichtet und kann jährlich mehr als 1 500 Tonnen Batterieabfälle verarbeiten." #EU #Deutschland #Bayern #Gendorf #tozero #Recycling #Lithium #Batterie https://www.chemie.de/news/1188451/ein-wendepunkt-fuer-europas-rohstoffsouveraenitaet-tozero-startet-produktion-von-lithium-und-anderen-kritischen-rohstoffen.html
