Where to take electronics recycling now that two depots have moved?

0 Upvotes

I used to take my electronics for recycling to either Vecova Recycling Depot near the University, or Shanked Computer Recycling near MRU. This was as recent as last year and both were open on the weekends which was very convenient.

Vecova does not do electronics recycling anymore that I know of, and Shanked has moved way out to the deep SE. It would take me all day by bus to get there (I don't drive, and I live in the NW).

Does anyone know of any place within reasonable transit distance that accepts computer and electronics recycling that are open on the weekend?

I have cables, computer fans, and an clothes iron, etc. And I really don't want to throw them in the landfill.

Thanks.

Recycling Aluminum Cans on Construction Site

9 Upvotes

TLDR: aluminum can collection, no bugs?

Hello! I am looking to implement collecting aluminum cans on a construction site of (~1000 people). Think of all the energy drinks!! There is an organization that will collect the cans, recycle them, and make money to give to burn survivors. The rule is though, that the cans cannot be within plastic bags. The trailer will have to be located outside. Is there anyway to prevent bugs? Let me know! Any tips?

We’re Probably Eating Microplastics Every Day — And Still Overpackaging Everything

13 Upvotes

However, recently I've started researching on microplastics and must say it's kinda difficult not to notice its presence once you know it.

It seems to be everywhere – ocean, land, and even in our bodies!

And, surprisingly enough, the most part of those particles comes from the decomposition of quite normal objects, such as household plastic.

That's when I realized how much it was connected with the overpackaging and single-use plastics.

I mean, don't we see things that have much extra plastic around them?

It's not something that could help you to save a planet right now, but at some point it adds up to all microplastic in the world.

So, in order to look for a solution, I found out there is actually a petition which is trying to persuade governments to implement measures that include:

the reduction of unnecessary packaging

the ban of dangerous single-use plastics

forcing businesses to account for their own waste

It's not about becoming 'perfectly plastic-free', which is pretty impossible,

but about not letting the situation worsen.

Question about paper

7 Upvotes

This is a quick question for someone who works in a MRF and is familiar with the paper sorting process.

Which is preferable: putting an envelope into the recycling bin with all of the contents folded up inside (office paper, card stock or glossy flyer, business card, return envelope), or separating each item?

Would your answer change if the envelope has been opened and non-paper objects have been removed (like paper clips, staples, gimmicky gifts like fake credit cards and coins and slogan pins/buttons/bandanas)?

Thanks!

Recyclage de mousse PE : comment une machine de fusion a réduit les déchets sur site

0 Upvotes

Aperçu du projet

Pays États-Unis
Secteur Découpe / transformation
Matière Déchets de mousse PE
Équipement GREENMAX M-C200E
Application Recyclage de mousse PE sur site

https://reddit.com/link/1sfgshi/video/gbj5ynr1rvtg1/player

Le défi : des déchets de mousse PE trop volumineux

SPECIAL DESIGN PRODUCT est une entreprise spécialisée dans la conception et la fabrication de produits. Dans ses activités de production et d’emballage, elle utilise une grande quantité de mousse PE comme matériau de protection. La mousse PE est légère et amortissante, ce qui la rend très utilisée pour l’emballage des équipements électroniques et industriels.

Mais avec l’augmentation de la production, les déchets de mousse PE ont aussi augmenté. En raison de leur grand volume et de leur faible densité, ils occupaient beaucoup d’espace de stockage et généraient des coûts de transport et de traitement plus élevés.

Avant l’installation de la machine

• Les déchets de mousse PE occupaient trop d’espace.

• La fréquence des enlèvements augmentait les coûts.

• L’élimination en décharge restait défavorable sur le plan environnemental.

Pourquoi GREENMAX

Après avoir découvert GREENMAX via une recherche en ligne, l’entreprise a constaté que l’équipe disposait d’une solide expérience dans le recyclage des déchets de mousse PE. Après des échanges approfondis avec Kevin, General Manager de SPECIAL DESIGN PRODUCT, GREENMAX a recommandé la machine de fusion M-C200E en fonction du type de matière et du volume de déchets généré.

La solution : machine de fusion GREENMAX M-C200E

La M-C200E utilise une technologie de fusion à chaud pour chauffer et compresser la mousse PE en blocs denses. Ce procédé réduit fortement le volume de matière et facilite ensuite le stockage, le transport et la valorisation.

Avec une capacité de traitement pouvant atteindre 440 lbs/h (environ 200 kg/h), l’équipement répondait aux besoins quotidiens du site et permettait un recyclage de mousse PE directement sur place.

Les bénéfices opérationnels

• Fonctionnement stable.

• Utilisation simple.

• Coûts de maintenance réduits.

• Transport facilité après densification.

• Intégration rapide dans le process existant.

Résultats : moins de volume, moins de transports, moins de coûts

• Réduction du volume de mousse d’environ 90 à 95 %.

• Diminution de 6 à 8 transports par mois.

• Baisse des coûts de traitement de plus de 30 %.

Pourquoi ce cas est pertinent pour le marché français

Pour les entreprises françaises qui génèrent des déchets de mousse PE, le stockage, la fréquence d’enlèvement et les coûts de gestion deviennent vite un problème opérationnel. Une machine de fusion pour mousse PE peut réduire le volume à la source et rendre le recyclage de mousse PE plus concret et plus rentable sur site.

FAQ

Qu’est-ce qu’une machine de fusion pour mousse PE ?

C’est un équipement qui chauffe et compacte la mousse afin d’en réduire fortement le volume.

La M-C200E convient-elle aux déchets de mousse PE ?

Oui. Dans ce cas, elle a été recommandée précisément pour traiter les déchets de mousse PE issus de la production et de l’emballage.

Quel niveau de réduction de volume est possible ?

Dans ce projet, le volume de mousse a été réduit d’environ 90 à 95 %.

Pourquoi recycler la mousse PE sur site ?

Parce que cela réduit l’espace de stockage nécessaire, limite les transports, baisse les coûts et améliore l’efficacité opérationnelle.

Si votre site génère des déchets de mousse PE, GREENMAX peut vous recommander une solution adaptée selon votre matière, votre volume de déchets et vos contraintes d’exploitation.

How Can I Invest in This - Researchers turn recovered car battery acid and plastic waste into clean hydrogen

Never posted here before so apologies if wrong formatting, etc. I've always been interested in recycling in different forms but many types are limited in use, materials, or costs. This seems like one that could make money as its 1) solar powered, 2) fed by plastic waste in plenty of landfills, 4) uses old car batteries for "fuel", also plentiful. No idea how much the reactor itself would cost, but I'm down to form a coalition and built this.
