The growth of plastic and its associated pollution is arguably one of the earth’s most significant challenges now and into the future. ♻️ In 2019, it was estimated that only around 9% of plastics are recycled. 🌊 In 2019, it was estimated that 6.1 million tonnes of plastics enter aqueous environments and 1.7 million tonnes in the ocean. 💰 Efforts to date to slow plastic pollution through recycling have been largely ineffective. Current technology is relatively ineffective and expensive. Cyclion offers a new low-emission advanced technology that soaks waste in special catalytic fluids instead of burning it. Cyclion aims to make a contribution as a part of the solution to this global waste problem and to avoid permanent damage being done to our planet. Visit our website to learn more about our tech and how it can help solve this global issue. https://lnkd.in/gWeZ6BqW

Is this the best you can do with recycling and zero waste? Its a failure and one of the biggest scams in the world destroying poor countries but now it can be turned into wealth Build as many waste to energy power plants you can and replace those primitive landfills and dumpsites that have destroyed communities, spread poverty, disease, crime, and polluted the environment with waste plastic, There are over 2,700 waste-to-energy plants operating worldwide, 500 in Europe, over 900 in China, over 300 in Japan and it is this technology that keeps them clean while the rest of the world is drowning in their own waste

Our new technology, the Syngas Generator®, can convert tires, plastics and RDF into sulfur-free synthesis gas for gas-powered electric generators. 3.5 MWh of electrical energy can be produced from one ton of tires, and 1.6 MWh of electrical energy from one ton of RDF. Additionally, our environmental innovation incorporates microwave technology. The notable benefit of steam plasma reactors is their production of hydrogen and oxygen solely from water vapor, a process free from NOx emissions and without odor. In comparison to steam turbines, the investment cost is halved and it provides greater electrical efficiency. The high-temperature waste heat from the gas engine can be harnessed to produce electricity, boosting the electrical efficiency of the combined cycle power plant beyond 50%. technology: www.gumienergia.hu
Renewable energy and recycling is not going to solve climate change, energy crisis, plastic waste pollution. To solve all these problems you need to build waste to energy plants

Always remember, Junksnmore got you covered! https://lnkd.in/d_sjuGw3 The development of an innovative technique to transform plastic waste into clean fuel presents potential health benefits and opportunities for the waste and recycling industry. By converting plastic waste into a valuable fuel source, this technology could help reduce the environmental impact of plastic pollution while providing an alternative to fossil fuels. This could lead to a decrease in air pollution and associated health risks, as burning plastic waste is a significant source of harmful emissions. Furthermore, if this technology can be produced at low or no cost, it could incentivize increased recycling of plastic waste, diverting more materials away from landfills and incinerators. However, there are also potential health hazards and challenges associated with this approach. The production process may involve handling and processing hazardous chemicals or emissions, which could pose risks to workers' health if not properly managed. Additionally, the widespread adoption of this technology may disrupt traditional waste management practices and require investment in new infrastructure and regulations to ensure safe and efficient operation. Overall, while innovative solutions like this hold promise for addressing plastic pollution and advancing sustainable energy goals, careful consideration of health and environmental impacts is crucial in their implementation.

Developing Sustainable Environmentally Friendly Polymers (SEFP) is not new. PhDs around the world are creating them all the time, using everything from fish scales, avavado waste, cassava, cactus, sugarcane, coffee grounds to hemp. There are even significant advancements in water-soluble polymer technology with a great end-of-life story. But the real challenge lies in making them economical, scalable and able to be processed using existing equipment on a global basis. This is where the focus needs to be if we are to make a real impact on the global plastics pollution crisis. Recently, an end-user told me that they purchase 2.5 billion PE bags globally. That's a huge demand, and it's not just about finding an economical solution - it's also about meeting this demand with minimal investment from their suppliers. Let's focus our energy on developing SEFPs that can meet this challenge.

“Airlines are seeking sustainable sources of fuel. Steel producers are looking to reduce their operating emissions. And sports-apparel makers are aiming to cut the volume of plastic in clothing. One discovery could help them all: A yeast-like bacteria in rabbit droppings. In Chicago, biotechnology firm LanzaTech says it can take carbon emissions and turn them into ethanol—a chemical that can be used to make sustainable fuels as well as plastics—using the bacteria Clostridium autoethanogenum. But if this sounds like a game changer in the quest for clean-tech solutions, there is a problem. Despite the company’s technology showing promise, the business isn’t making any money, it is falling short of its earnings predictions and its stock has crashed. LanzaTech was set up in New Zealand in 2005 by then out-of-work biologists Richard Forster, who has since died, and Sean Simpson, with the goal of creating a new source of biofuel. A condition the pair imposed on themselves was that the feedstock for producing the fuel couldn’t also be a source of food, such as sugar or corn, to avoid creating competition for supplies that are typical of ethanol-based fuels. Being biologists, they turned to bacteria and found that one particular organism could hold the key. Clostridium autoethanogenum has been known about since the 1990s, and was first isolated in the feces of rabbits. It is similar to yeast, which eats sugar to make ethanol—a process that has been used for thousands of years to make beer and bread—except this bacteria eats carbon in the form of gas to produce ethanol. “ https://lnkd.in/geZHgQwv

The European Parliament's Environment Committee has introduced new rules to cut food and textile waste, supporting a circular economy in the EU. Key points include: 🟣Food Waste Reduction: By 2030, food processing must reduce waste by 20%, and retail, restaurants, and households by 40% compared to 2020-2022 levels. 🟣 Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for Textiles: Producers must cover costs for collecting, sorting, and recycling textiles. Member states have 18 months to establish EPR schemes, ensuring separate textile collection for reuse and recycling by January 2025. How LLA Products Can Help LLA, a leader in hyperspectral cameras for sorting, can support these new rules by: 🟣 Efficient Sorting: Our cameras accurately sort textile materials, enhancing recycling. 🟣 Increased Recycling Rates: Boosting textile recycling beyond the current <1%. 🟣 Support for EPR Schemes: Helping producers comply with new regulations. LLA's technology can help the EU meet its waste reduction targets and foster a circular economy. For more information, visit LLA Instruments.
