How much waste will you produce this holiday season? 🎁 Single use decorations, unwanted presents, festive food waste. All of this and more contributes to the hundreds of thousands of tonnes of waste thrown out each year. Individuals and companies alike can celebrate sustainably. Take responsibility for seasonal items purchased. This starts with ethically sourcing products and ensuring that the end of life solution follows the principles of resource conservation. When buying products this Christmas season, from crackers to wrapping paper, think about the CO2 produced from manufacturing and shipping, as well as where it ends up on 1st January. https://lnkd.in/eDrhKWUG #ChristmasWaste #ReduceReuse #SustainableHolidays

We are excited to bring attention to the WasteMINZ 'Organic Waste Collection and Processing Guidance for Local Authorities'. We worked on this guide alongside WasteMINZ and members of the TAO forum to enable councils to make informed decisions about kerbside organic services to best serve their communities and environments. 🌿 👤 🦋 The guide takes a deep dive into what makes a kerbside organics service successful, with evidence from local and international case studies of high-performing services. It includes a step-by-step framework that takes the user through the journey from understanding the needs of their region and communities, collection and processing options, how to procure the different aspects of the service, to how to implement and monitor the service for on-going success. 🧩🌍🌟 🎬 We're looking forward to seeing how the guide gets put into action. 🗣 Let us know what you think in the comments below!

🌷 A reminder from the tulip I found flourishing in my compost pile this week: If you want everything to come up roses—or tulips—you need to be okay with making mistakes. Failing sucks. It doesn’t feel good or look good. Often, we walk away humiliated and full of shame and reluctance. Thoughts like “That wasn’t my jam” or “I’m not cut out for this” or “Why bother trying again” may cross your mind. But what if all your failed attempts, fruitless endeavors, and unprofitable ideas are a part of your compost pile?   What if you’re recycling these setbacks into your ecosystem so you can take them with you for the next round?    What if the lessons learned improve your foundation, making you more resilient from your failures? What if your tulip is sitting somewhere amid all your failures but you held back on adding more organic matter to your compost pile?      What if? Your tulip awaits you. #LeadershipDevelopment #CareerDevelopment #BusinessDevelopment

🚨 Let’s Talk About Honest Systems That Truly Work 🚨 In the grease management industry, there’s a growing reliance on expensive automatic systems. While these technologies look impressive, they often come with hidden problems. 💰 The Cost Factor These systems can cost a fortune—making them inaccessible for many businesses. Worse, they sometimes encourage bad practices like pouring grease and waste directly into drains. Why? Because users trust the system to "fix" everything, even when it’s overwhelmed or poorly maintained. 🌍 The Environmental Reality When automatic systems fail—or are used improperly—the result is pollution. Instead of solving the problem, they mask it. 🔑 What’s the Solution? It’s time to focus on honest systems that are: Cost-effective and easy to use Designed to educate users and promote responsible behavior Proven to work, with real, measurable results At Aluline, we’ve been championing straightforward solutions for decades. Back in 1992, my father, William Clark, created the first Aluline grease trap. Since then, we’ve refined the system through collaboration with chemists and biologists who were dedicated to finding a sustainable, effective solution. Today, our biotechnology-enhanced systems don’t just “look good”—they actually work. And they encourage proper waste management rather than shortcuts. 🚀 Time for Change How do we shift the industry? By prioritizing systems that: Work for businesses of all sizes Balance environmental responsibility with affordability Encourage proper waste disposal instead of quick fixes Let’s start a conversation: How can we make grease management more honest, effective, and accessible for everyone? Drop your thoughts below—let’s change the way we think about waste together. 💡💧

Algae oil flies into the sky! China Airlines Evergreen 2025 demand has been solved, Formosa Plastics will mass produce new smart devices Green algae is gaining attention in the aviation industry for its potential as a sustainable fuel source, particularly as airlines face new regulations mandating the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) starting in 2025. Formosa Plastics plans to invest in algae oil production, aiming for a capacity of 20,000 tons annually by 2030, which would satisfy about 10% of Taiwan's SAF needs. As SAF demand rises, traditional sources like waste cooking oil are becoming insufficient, despite being more cost-effective. Algae oil emerges as a promising alternative due to its frequent harvest cycles and high oil yields suitable for aviation fuel. To assess its viability, Formosa Plastics intends to initiate a trial production setup with blue-green algae by early 2025. Microalgae not only absorb carbon dioxide and produce oxygen but also have applications in health food ingredients. By developing a sustainable local SAF supply chain, Formosa Plastics aims to position itself as a leader in algae oil production, capitalizing on an anticipated global SAF demand of 5 million tons per year, creating substantial opportunities in renewable energy. #MotiveAsia #Taiwan https://lnkd.in/g-w3XAM8
