A really useful link for quickly checking what can be recycled at home, thanks WRAP

Have you heard of ‘Wishcycling’? I wasn’t aware of the term strangely until Thursday evening this week when it was mentioned at a Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL) event. I have added the definition below : ‘Wishcycling is the disposal of consumer waste in a recycling bin in hopes of it being recycled, when it cannot or is unlikely to be recycled. Wishcycling occurs because people are unfamiliar with what can be recycled or they believe the item they dispose of for recycling can be made into a useful item.’ Recycling is the smallest thing we can all do to try and make a difference so we all need to at least get that bit right! Know what can be recycled where and get it right . #recycle #Circularity #CurcularLiving #RecycleNow #OurFashionFix Our Fashion Fix Ltd

🌍 We can create a cleaner environment by making trash valuable! 💸 Imagine if trash was seen as an asset instead of waste—how often do we find valuable items just tossed aside? Hardly ever. When people start seeing the potential of recycling, they'll be more inclined to sell their trash rather than throw it away, recognizing it as something of worth. 🌱 👏 Big kudos to the “trash mongers” who are making a difference! Not only are they helping keep our communities clean, but they're also using recycling efforts to support out-of-school children. Through their work, they’re transforming waste into opportunities and uplifting lives. 🌟 Let's keep this momentum going and turn trash into a true community resource! ♻️ Director: Gideon shane #CleanEnvironment 🌍 #TrashToTreasure 💸 #RecycleForGood ♻️ #CommunityImpact 🌱 #SupportEducation 📚 #TrashChampions 👏 #ValueInWaste #EcoFriendly #GreenCommunity #UpliftThroughRecycling #SustainableFuture

All the talk today is about incineration and how bad it is. The focus needs to be on reduction and recycling. #Recycling #recycleweek

Earth Day runs deep in the Patrick family. Check out this throwback photo of my dad and me donning our Recycle hats and t-shirts. My dad was on the committee that brought recycling into our town. He instilled a strong sense of responsibility for the planet in us. When I was a wasteful child, my dad would say "do you want a landfill in our backyard?" It still sticks with me. I pack my lunch for work, not because I'm a particularly good cook, but because it cuts down on the waste from the cafeteria to-go containers. What are you doing to be "green" this Earth Day? #EarthDay #sustainability #throwback #ReduceReuseRecycle #SupplyChain #SupplyChainManagement #strategicsourcing

Time to say goodbye to your Christmas tree? Here’s how to do it right: 🎄 Check for curbside tree pickup in your area. 🎄 Drop it off at a recycling center. 🎄 Turn it into mulch for your garden. Avoid throwing your tree in the trash, let’s give your tree a second life and keep it out of the landfill! #ChristmasTreeDisposal #WasteManagementTips

🌍 Join the Movement for a Sustainable Future! 🌱 At the Illinois Recycling Foundation, we're committed to making a difference, one recycled item at a time. Our mission is to promote and advance recycling efforts across Illinois, helping to create a cleaner, greener environment for generations to come. ♻️ Why Recycle? Recycling not only reduces waste and conserves natural resources but also plays a vital role in reducing pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Every item you recycle is a step towards a more sustainable future. We're dedicated to enhancing recycling across Illinois by providing resources, education, and advocacy. Whether you're an individual, business, or community group, there are countless ways to get involved. From recycling at home to supporting local programs, your participation is crucial. Stay tuned for upcoming events, and consider supporting our efforts by becoming a member, volunteering, or spreading the word. Every action counts in our mission to protect the planet.

Seattle’s commingled recycling system is not just effective — it’s a national model. 🌍🏙️ Despite concerns raised about this approach, the data shows it works in Seattle, reducing landfill waste and increasing recycling participation. Discover how we're driving the city toward zero waste, from free curbside pickups to statewide producer responsibility programs. And thank you for being active participants in creating a more sustainable future! Read the full op-ed in The Seattle Times🔗 - https://lnkd.in/g6-s6jes

Working on zero-waste or circular economy plans? Take note! ♻️ In 1991, Recycle Utah was born from a group of Park City residents determined to bring recycling to their community. Now, 33 years later, their grassroots efforts have inspired Park City’s zero-waste goal and Summit County’s zero food waste goal by 2030. Recycle Utah’s operations are impressive: ✅ A recycling center for 45+ types of waste ✅ Glass recycling bins ✅ A thrift store stocked with recycled treasures ✅ Paper shredding services ✅ Offers packs of donated moving boxes for sale ✅ Resells skis and snowboards to give gear a second life In 2023 alone, the center recycled 1,675 tons of waste, with about 400 people visiting daily. Learn how circular economy principles and grassroots initiatives are diverting waste from landfills. https://lnkd.in/gVPqwFEC #100TravelInnovations Visit Park City

Waste-to-energy (WtE) is an ingenious process that converts waste into usable energy.Through innovative processes,we can reduce landfill waste and promote sustainable energy solutions, let's turn trash into treasure! What should we do with more and more garbage? Conversion of plastic and tire waste into energy carriers, such as heating oil, diesel, grill coke, synthesis gas, etc. Waste-to-Energy plant is a great alternative to reduce the area for waste treatment and disposal, in addition to generating energy for all small cities in the region. A good alternative is to create an intermunicipal cooperative between small cities to share costs It is a social advantage if small villages we are supplied with locally produced energy, thus creating local jobs for the local energy using population from waste collected locally, where the government should finance projects, if they do not want their country to be covered in waste. Our innovation in environmental protection is the use of microwave technology. The main advantage of vapor plasma reactors is that there is no nitrogen in the plasma reactor in the microwave steam plasma, no nitrogen from the air (only hydrogen and oxygen are produced from water vapor) In emissions no nitrogen oxide, which is 40x more toxic than carbon monoxid, no sulfur dioxide (filtration with ceramic filters, with adsorbents), minimal carbon dioxide and odorless flue gas. Wind turbine blades can be reused in a non-thermal microwave plasma field where the electron temperature is much higher than the generated gas temperature, including the vibrational and rotational temperature of the molecules. In the plasma space, all complex compounds such as resins, aromatic molecules and tars are effectively degraded and separated from the inorganic glass fiber reinforcement.
