In a better world the products and packaging one buys from a store could be returned to that store in the future. Why is it on the consumer to properly dispose of and recycle packaging and products? If this was a law these companies would be incentivized to use less material and manufacturing techniques that were recyclable. Apple takes old iPhones because they recycle the valuable components.
Eg: multi material layered chip bags. The ones with the shiny metal interior? Not recyclable. The blister packs that most products come in? Not recyclable unless PET, or PP.. Good luck finding a PP/PET recycling center if your city doesn’t have it as part of waste management.

#Recyling #PlasticPollution

Regardless of the outcome, we now have an enormous hoarde of flies and a stench that can be smelt METRES away.

And oh yeah, this is *upwind* of many units.

#PleasePray for a quick end to summer and some hard frosts. At least frozen garbage isn't stinky garbage. 🥶

Also … should I go missing for more than a few weeks, someone please check up on the local #coyote population to see if they've expanded their diet beyond rabbits and unsecured garbage. 😱😡

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Redistribute, Refuse! ♻️ :neocat_cute_reach:

Made myself a deck box for my commander deck out of an old milk carton. The twist lid is what keeps it locked in place! Even when I play card games, I wanna be DIY and punk. :neocat_heart:

Mining has consequences for human rights & environment. Public transportation should be our focus and not just a swap out of an EV for every combustion car on the road currently: #Electricvehicles #humanrights #renewables #mining #transportation #recyling https://thebulletin.org/2024/12/murder-mayhem-and-minerals-the-price-of-the-renewable-energy-revolution/?utm_source=SocialShare&utm_medium=Twitter&utm_campaign=Twitter&utm_term

#Fahrrad weitgehend wartungsfrei?
Und noch fast komplett aus #Plastik?

Ja, das geht.

Ein Kölner Unternehmen hat ein #Rad entwickelt, das weitgehend aus Plastik-Spritzgussteilen besteht. Sogar die Lager bestehen aus #Kunststoff .

Es wird zu Anteilen schon #Recyling -Kunststoff eingesetzt. Ziel ist es den Anteil weiter zu steigern.

aktuelles Marktsegment für das Rad: Flottenbetreiber wie Werksfahrräder usw.

#eWaste #Recyling: "The phone or computer you’re reading this on may not be long for this world. Maybe you’ll drop it in water, or your dog will make a chew toy of it, or it’ll reach obsolescence. If you can’t repair it and have to discard it, the device will become e-waste, joining an alarmingly large mountain of defunct TVs, refrigerators, washing machines, cameras, routers, electric toothbrushes, headphones. This is “electrical and electronic equipment,” aka EEE—anything with a plug or battery. It’s increasingly out of control.

As economies develop and the consumerist lifestyle spreads around the world, e-waste has turned into a full-blown environmental crisis. People living in high-income countries own, on average, 109 EEE devices per capita, while those in low-income nations have just four. A new UN report finds that in 2022, humanity churned out 137 billion pounds of e-waste—more than 17 pounds for every person on Earth—and recycled less than a quarter of it.

That also represents about $62 billion worth of recoverable materials, like iron, copper, and gold, hitting e-waste landfills each year. At this pace, e-waste will grow by 33 percent by 2030, while the recycling rate could decline to 20 percent." https://www.wired.com/story/e-waste-recycling-cant-keep-up-precious-metals/

Excitement is really building now. In a week we will be living on our bikes for over 3 months #cycleTouring - today is #recyling a parachute into 4 Rinko bike bags, a advertising banner frame bag and specific sized stuff sacks for inside the handlebar rolls
