Eastman plans thermal battery power for recycling plant... In March this year, Eastman announced the location of its second molecular recycling plant for hard-to-recycle polyester waste is to be located in Longview, Texas. The first plant, in Kingsport, Tennessee, also began initial production in March and is already generating revenue and on target to earn around $75 million for the company in 2024. The company’s next-generation methanolysis technology allows such waste to be broken down into the monomer building blocks for polyester that can be used again without compromising performance in a material-to-material high-yield loop. The Kingsport and Longview plants are aimed at meeting Eastman’s ambitious goals of recycling 125,000 tons of polyester by next year, and double that volume by 2030.

Recycling like you’ve never seen it before. In partnership with Heartland Polymers, we set out to test, validate, and demonstrate the blending of post-consumer plastics into asphalts for the Albertan marketplace. This is Applied Research, so you know we had to go big. Across four sites, this project diverted 3.74 tonnes of post-consumer plastic waste from landfills and into the asphalt of real-word, working roads. Alongside our partners, we aim to prove whether or not this application is the future of roadway construction in Alberta. And a big thank you to our partners and collaborators GREENMANTRA Technologies, McAsphalt Industries Limited, BURNCO Rock Products Ltd, both Strathcona County and Sturgeon County, along with Alexander First Nation and Alexander Asphalt & Concrete LP for making this project possible!

We’re looking for sources of polystyrene to recycle! At CemteQ, we're committed to environmental and sustainable construction practices. As a lightweight concrete manufacturer, we use recycled polystyrene as an aggregate in our concrete formulations, reducing waste and minimising environmental impact. Now, we're reaching out for help in sourcing even more polystyrene. Do you know of any businesses, organizations, or individuals who have clean polystyrene that needs to be recycled? Whether it's from packaging materials, insulation panels, or other sources, we're eager to connect with suppliers who share our commitment to recycling and environmental responsibility. By collaborating with like-minded partners, we can continue to innovate and lead the way towards a greener, more sustainable future. If you have any leads or recommendations on where we can source polystyrene for recycling, please reach out to victor@cemteq.com #RecycledPolystyrene #SustainableConstruction #EnvironmentalResponsibility #BuildingGreen #CommunityCollaboration

Coastal Recycling becomes Devon's first to turn black bag waste into alternative fuel Independent waste management business Coastal Recycling is set to become the first in Devon to turn waste once destined for landfill or incineration into coal-replacing fuel. Using an innovative biotechnology solution from Advetec Coastal will turn around 5,200 tonnes of the black bag waste it collects each year into Solid Recovered Fuel (SRF). SRF is a highly sought-after fuel that emits 95% less CO2e than coal and is helping some of the world’s most carbon-heavy industries reduce their reliance on fossil fuels. Coastal will take delivery of an Advetec system comprising two aerobic digester units, known as XO22s, at its processing site in Torrington, Northern Devon. The system will operate at full capacity, processing up to 20 tonnes of non-recyclable waste on-site every day and creating 10 tonnes of SRF daily. Investment in this technology will help Coastal offer environmental improvements to its 1,600 customers across Devon. In addition to diverting waste from landfill and turning it into a fossil-fuel replacement, Advetec’s technology also reduces the mass of waste by 50% and the volume by 70%, which means fewer waste collections and rubbish trucks on the roads.

According to the latest UN Global E-waste Monitor, there was a record 62 billion kgs of e-waste generated globally in 2022, with an estimated $91 billion worth of metals, including $15 billion of gold.   With population growth, the need and demand for electronics isn't going to slow anytime soon. We need sustainable, circular solutions to recover critical metals needed to build future technology.    If you're an Australian recycler that's already doing a good job of collecting e-waste, we'd love to work with you to process your e-waste locally using low-carbon technology, giving you a quicker return without the need to ship it offshore. With our biorefinery in Sydney, we can process about 20% of the PCB waste collected annually across Australia, meaning we can return circular, green metals back to the economy.    Partner with us to create value from e-waste streams in a profitable, convenient and sustainable way. Get in touch through recycling@mint.bio. ✉️ #Sustainability #Ewaste #CircularEconomy

Focus - BAC TO BAC Process At #SULO, recycling rubbish #bins is a concrete action with our BAC TO BAC service. We transform out-of-use bins into new, ready-to-use refuse bins. Sulo staff are on hand to give your bins a second life. Thanks to our 30 strategically-located Service Points, we're always close at hand to meet your needs. The recycling process is simple: your old bins are disinfected, then ground into fine flakes. The flakes are then used as a raw material to make new bin liners. We invite all local authorities to join this initiative. By sending us your damaged bins, you are contributing directly to a virtuous #recycling cycle. All the while ensuring that your #waste is managed in an #eco-responsible manner. 🎯 Together, we can make recycling a reality.

Thursday Discussion on E-Waste and DNK Metal Recovery's Commitment to Sustainability   🌍 The Growing Challenge of E-Waste This Thursday, we had an insightful and thought-provoking discussion on the environmental impact of electronic waste (e-waste) and the need for more sustainable practices in managing it. E-waste is one of the fastest-growing waste streams in the world, with millions of tons generated each year. Despite its rapid accumulation, a large percentage of e-waste is improperly disposed of, ending up in landfills or incinerators where it can pollute our environment with toxic chemicals like lead, mercury, and cadmium.   ⚡ The Environmental Impact of E-Waste The environmental consequences of improper e-waste disposal are far-reaching. When electronics are thrown away without proper recycling, valuable materials like gold, silver, copper, and palladium are lost, and hazardous substances seep into the soil and water, affecting ecosystems and human health. Moreover, the need for raw materials for new devices contributes to harmful mining practices, further exacerbating environmental degradation.   ♻️ DNK Metal Recovery: Leading the Charge in E-Waste Management A key focus of the Thursday discussion was DNK Metal Recovery and their commitment to sustainable e-waste management. DNK has established itself as a leader in the field, providing a responsible alternative to traditional e-waste disposal methods. Instead of allowing electronics to end up in landfills, DNK focuses on recovering valuable metals and components from old devices through environmentally sound processes.   💡 Key Areas of Commitment:   Environmental Sustainability: DNK uses cutting-edge technology to safely recover precious metals from e-waste, minimizing pollution and promoting resource conservation. Their methods help reduce the need for new mining, which can be both energy-intensive and damaging to ecosystems. Circular Economy: DNK is championing the principles of the circular economy, ensuring that materials are reused and recycled, reducing the environmental footprint of electronics. Public Awareness: DNK is actively working to educate consumers and businesses about the importance of responsible e-waste recycling, offering accessible drop-off locations and promoting take-back programs. Innovation: By investing in research and development, DNK continues to improve its recovery processes, making e-waste recycling more efficient and impactful.     #DNKMetalRecovery #Ewaste #CircularEconomy #Sustainability #Innovation #Recycling #EnvironmentalImpact #SustainableSolutions
