new After the Pantal River, the team visited Tondaligan Beach, which Mayor Belen Fernandez plans to develop as an ecotourism and surfing destination. This visit included a look at the open dumpsite along the beach, a stark demonstration of the challenges that Dagupan has with waste management, especially plastic. The same site, however, demonstrates the creative thinking around this issue: Located alongside the dumpsite is the city’s composting facility, which converts biodegradable waste from the wet market into compost to be given to farmers.

new Our relationship with plastic needs rethinking. Plastics are versatile materials, but the way they are used is wasteful. To change this, IUCN provides science-based expertise, evidence, and recommendations to implement circular economic models including policy reviews and economic research to guide policy makers. The activities include drafting and improving legislation related to recyclability, waste management, domestic materials recovery facilities, product composition, biodegradability, and prevention of import/export of specific wastes that will support the prevention of plastic pollution. The aim of innovative legislation and policies is to keep plastic in the system and reduce reliance on linear models where plastic is directly disposed of in landfills and the environment. — IUCN, 1d ago

new Starlinger recycling technology has been shortlisted for the prestigious Plastics Recycling Awards Europe 2023 for their new "recoStar PET art” recycling line in the category "Product Technology Innovation of the Year”."We feel grateful and honoured being shortlisted for the Plastics Recycling Awards Europe with our latest technology innovation ‘recoStar PET art'. This new machine concept builds on Starlinger's solid foundation of manufacturing PET bottle-to-bottle recycling lines for more than 15 years and has been designed to take mechanical PET recycling to the next level”, said Paul Niedl, Commercial Head of Starlinger recycling technology.In technical development, the focus of Starlinger recycling technology has always been on achieving highest production efficiency and keeping energy consumption and maintenance time as low as possible. As the provider further discusses, the newly conceived PET bottle-to-bottle recycling system "recoStar PET art” does not only consume 25 percent less energy compared to the previous model, it also requires 46 percent less maintenance time, has a 21 percent smaller machine footprint, and a production output increase of 15 percent. According to this, in total, bottle-to-bottle recyclers can save about 21 percent in production costs with the new system.In addition to supplying FDA, EFSA and brand owner-approved PET recycling technology, Starlinger also offers recycling solutions for a variety of other post-consumer plastic scrap and industrial plastic waste. The specially developed odour reduction process ensures smell-reduced regranulate from post-consumer olefins such as PP and PE which are a widely used material for e.g. milk or detergent bottles.

The entrepreneurship@UBC program assists students, faculty, staff and alumni in bringing early-stage ventures from infancy to fruition.The recent prizes were bestowed upon what Kung and Mohan have dubbed the “MiniTorr.”The MiniTorr is a cheap and small-scale portable machine that uses torrefaction to more easily transform biomass (crop residue, for example) into sellable bio-products, such as fuel and fertilizer.Where crop and forest residues are often wet, bulky and expensive to gather and transport to central conversion facilities, the MiniTorr can fit in a pick-up truck and travel directly to the waste.As Kung explains, many farmers burn their crop residue, which has devastating effects on climate and human health through smoke pollution or by providing fuel to feed catastrophic wildfires.The MiniTorr uses torrefaction to more easily transform biomass into sellable bio-products, such as fuel and fertilizer. It can fit in a pick-up truck and travel directly to the waste. Credit: TakacharUsing MiniTorr to transform the waste at the local level into fertilizer means farmers can improve their crop yields and invest the money into their daily operations—all while cutting down on carbon emission, improving air quality and reducing wildfire risk.“We want this technology to be a one-stop shop for communities to build bio economies, reduce waste and grow in a self-sustaining way that doesn’t depend on the centralized model of biomass conversion,” says Kung.Three MiniTorrs are currently in operation in India and two are being tested in California.The goal, says Kung, is to use the prize money to scale up the technology and test its application in other areas such as the conversion of logging waste, wildfire management and B.C. agriculture.Kung, 35, was born in Taiwan and grew up in Vancouver where he graduated from Sir Winston Churchill Secondary. He then went on to pursue post-secondary studies at Princeton, the University of Cambridge and finally at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he achieved a Doctor of Philosophy in Biofuels and Renewable Energy in 2017. He expects to complete his post-doctoral studies at UBC next June.He looks back to his early childhood in Taiwan as a key motivation for working towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions and pollutants.Using MiniTorr to transform the waste at the local level into fertilizer means farmers can improve their crop yields and invest the money into their daily operations—all while cutting down on carbon emission, improving air quality and reducing wildfire risk.

new ...)-- A staggering 40% of all food and 50% of produce is lost to waste annually nationwide, with the average family throwing away $1,500 worth of food per year. Indeed the UN estimates that 1.3 billion tons of food worth more than $1 trillion is lost to waste globally every year.These losses exacerbate critical issues such as hunger, climate change, the environment and diet related diseases. While a great deal of money is spent dealing with these issues individually, it is easier and more efficient to reduce a major root cause – the waste of perfectly wholesome and edible food.Because 70% of all food pantries are located in a house of worship, AmpleHarvest.org, a nationwide hunger/food waste nonprofit that enables 62 million gardeners to donate surplus harvests to 8,000 local food pantries, has partnered with the faith community since 2009.To strengthen that partnership and better reach the 88 million Americans who consider themselves to be people of faith, AmpleHarvest.org launched a program in 2016, called, “Faith Fights Food Waste” (www.FaithFightsFoodWaste.org). This program educates clergy of all faiths about the issue of food waste, and then enables them to give food waste sermons by providing them with boilerplate faith specific sermons they can revise as they see fit, on what their scriptures, faith and traditions say about the food waste. It also provides nine separate calls to action that the congregants can do at home to reduce their own food waste.“Our goal is to help all members of the faith community learn about food waste solutions that individuals can apply in their day to day lives, including learning about donating surplus garden harvests,” noted Oppenheimer. “Solving food waste helps to reduce hunger and malnutrition and helps the environment as it reduces the waste stream, climate change, and the loss of water and energy used to grow/produce and ship the food.”This free webinar will focus on how Houses of Worship can help their congregation and community greatly reduce the waste of food, improve vulnerable community’s access to fresh/healthier foods, and improve the environment.The presentation will discuss the environmental impacts of food lost to waste, and will provide a “ready to go” solution for clergy to use when guiding their followers to reduce food waste. It will also include some best practices the Houses of Worship itself can do to reduce its own food waste. A 30-minute question and answer session will follow the presentation.Registration link:... — PR.com, 2d ago
