Lets get Waste-ed

Look around you right now.

Today in Bosnia and Herzegovina politicians gathered to open a trash can, yes a trash can

To me, it seems to be not a trash can but for collecting small electric and electronic devices that would otherwise perhaps end in the normal garbage. To me, seems a "last mile competitive material selection micro scrapping plant"....

Recycling was a lie — a big lie — to sell more plastic, industry experts say

There's still a good market for clean paper, cardboard, metals, and most c&d waste. Plastic is though. I'm working on a facility right now they want to recycle plastic down to the beads here in California. To make into new products?

Wire stripping machine

The largest fire in NYC (I think) was caused by homeless folks burning insulation off of scrap wire in a 50 gallon drum.

r/Futurology - America's Largest Solar-Panel Maker Leads the World in Panel Recycling–Recovering 95% of Materials "the materials can recreate new panels for 1,200 years before they finally become too unstable to use again."

So are they going to charge a token amount to replace older panels that need to be replaced? This doesn't talk much about the process of doing it.

r/Futurology - Scientists Find New Way To Break Down the Most Common Plastic "found a way to speed up the process of breaking down polyethylene and turn it into alkylaromatic molecules, which are used as surfactants in cosmetics and laundry detergent, lubricants for machinery, and refrigeration fluids."

How to Use a Plastic Bottle to Make Seawater Drinkable

There is so much trash in the oceans washing up on remote uninhabited beaches that the guide doesn't even consider whether finding a large plastic Bottle and a Can would be a problem. It also doesn’t mention to watch out for hypodermic needles on the beach.

What are your opinions on these (or similar recycled products)?

Withstanding hammer blows isn't a requirement for a good building material. Drywall and stucco would get beat up too. How does it stand up to rain? UV? Your average plastic starts to deteriorate quite quickly under the elements Not to mention excessive heat found in many places in the world.

This is do awesome.

I desperately wish to infect a million brains with ideas about how to cut our personal carbon footprint. AMA!

The average US adult footprint is 30 tons. About half that is direct and half of that is indirect. Whenever I try to share these things that make a real difference, there's always a handful of people that insist that I'm a monster because BP put the blame on the consumer.

Bird feeder accepts bottle caps for food

I'm not positive, but almost, that someone out there will be quite offended at the notion of birds carrying around toxic garbage for humans. Idk if it would leech int them etc. What's the airspeed velocity of a can-laden magpie?
