Stop #Recycling These 4 #Takeout Containers
Only certain takeout containers are #recyclable in most places. Putting errant boxes in the blue bin only clogs up the system.

J'apprends que le #lait d'ici (euh, ici se trouve quand même à une belle distance de chez moi... L'#Oise n'est pas voisine de l'#Ain, combien de #CO2 est gaspillé en #transportroutier ?) est #recyclable. Du lait #recyclable 2 étoiles ? Vraiment ?
De plus, le #tri serait #trifacile... Il suffit de séparer le film de la brique avant de trier ? Mais qui va essayer de séparer ces 2 ? #foutagedegueule

The next-generation #SolarCell is fully #recyclable
12 February 2025
Anders Törneholm
"In a study published in Nature, researchers at Linköping University have developed a method to recycle all parts of a solar cell repeatedly without environmentally hazardous #solvents. The recycled solar cell has the same efficiency as the original one. The solar cell is made of #perovskite and the main solvent is water."

Ultra-light, low-speed, short-range #MicroEVs should not be built with carbon fiber composites—which are not and never will be #sustainable, by their very nature, despite their strength/weight ratio.
They should be built with 100% #recyclable #steel and #aluminium #bicycle (or at most #motorcycle) #technology, with #replaceable, #biodegradeable plastics where it makes sense (like body shells), and #natural #materials where possible (like #textiles).
♻️Recycling post. I receive a lot of packages by post and delivery. Mostly cardboard, but a lot of plastic non-recyclable packing and sometimes totally unrecyclable plastic envelopes (I'm looking at you Amazon). Today I received this, which proved 100% recyclable. Even the tape was paper. So is the bottle. It's glass not plastic. Look folks, you can package products without landfill. Glass and metal containers are secure. I was inspired. Not a product placement, just a hero shot for a company being responsible. More in the #altText.

#Copper is 100% #recyclable without loss of quality, but only about one-third of global demand is met through recycling. Recycling copper saves up to 85-90% of the energy required for mining & refining virgin ore, making it a more sustainable alternative.

I was feeling #sick today so I came home early for a #sickday and made myself a cup of #chamomile #tea and of course added it to my tea #journal 😌😌😌
My sinus has been feeling swollen and I think it is draining blood into my throat so I've felt queasy and my head feels a lot of pressure. I think tea is exactly what I need!
#journaling #chamomiletea #honey
Of course I'm using my #reusable #recyclable #starbucks cup 💗
Tiens, je ne vous ai pas dit ! L'autre jour dans un magasin e.Leclerc j'ai trouvé deux lots d'éponges lavables et réutilisables !
Pour l'heure ça fait le job, je ne sais pas si ça va durer longtemps !
More of this, please...!
This #eBike Doesn’t Need a Battery
A French inventor has created an e-bike that runs on a #supercapacitor rather than a #LithiumBattery.
By Micah Ling
Published: Dec 07, 2023
"#AdrienLelièvre, has recently engineered a sustainable solution to power the e-bike boom. According to Euronews, Lelièvre 'designed and patented an e-bike called #PiPop, which doesn’t use lithium batteries but supercapacitors.'
"Lelièvre told Euronews, 'The system gets charged when the ride is easy and when the bike brakes—thanks to engine braking—the energy is given back when needed.'
"So, what exactly is a supercapacitor?
"A supercapacitor essentially stocks up energy in the form of a slow-moving charge, which can be released when needed. A battery stocks up energy as a chemical reaction. This means that the bike is constantly stocking up energy when ridden on easier terrain, and then using that energy when going uphill, in the form of an assist.
"According to TS2, 'Supercapacitors, which have been around since the late 1970s, offer several advantages over lithium batteries. Rather than relying on the consumption of natural resources like #lithium or #RareEarthElements, supercapacitors store energy through electrostatic means. This allows them to stock and release energy quickly, providing instant assistance to riders when needed.'
"Unlike many other e-bike manufacturers, Pi-Pop also uses #recyclable materials such as #carbon, conducting polymer, #aluminum foils, and pulp, thus avoiding the need for rare earth elements in its production.
"#TS2 reports that 'the longevity of the Pi-Pop sets it apart from traditional e-bikes. While lithium batteries typically last five to six years, the supercapacitors in the Pi-Pop are projected to have a lifespan of 10 to 15 years. This prolongs the bike’s usability, reducing waste and minimizing the environmental impact associated with battery disposal.'
"Another perk to the Pi-Pop bike is that there’s never a need to charge it when it’s stationary. You’ll never hop on the bike and realize you forgot to charge it up.
"Euronews reports that according to Lelièvre, 'We can’t innovate if we lose control of production. When we talk about sustainable development, ecological transition, and energy transition, we need to provide the jobs.' Lelièvre’s company employs 25 people.
"Pi-Pop currently produces 100 bikes per month. And moving forward the company aims to produce at least 1,000 bikes per month in 2024."

kido is absolutely mind blown that I've taken our dead clothes dryer, stripped it for tubing and #recyclable electrical components.
taking a huge item to not even a carrier bag of waste
Alliteration strikes again. I bet "Turn Trash Into Trees" ended up with tons of garbage in the bin. "Recyclables" is more specific.
Alas, alliteration ain't always awesome.

Mylar is not #recyclable, so please some other gift bags and substitutions for balloons.
#environment
Only 9% of #plastic is #recycled because that’s the amount that is #recyclable. Time to #reduceYourUse.
