Recent study conducted by the Waste Reduction and Management Institute in the School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences at Stony Brook (SoMAS) and the Department of Technology and Society at Stony Brook University, has found a notable decrease of around 20% in recycling on Long Island.
Bayer MaterialScience has announced the availability of a polycarbonate and polyethylene terephthalate (PC+PET) mix for manufacturing horizontal body parts for use in automobiles by recycling the utilized industrial and consumer products.
Bayer is taking a new direction in the production of high-quality plastics with the help of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the energy sector. A pilot plant has come on stream at Chempark Leverkusen to trial the new process on a technical scale.
Aluminum recycling has quickly become an independent, flourishing commercial sector. The coveted light metal can be re-processed with no loss in quality – and that with only 5 percent of the energy required for the manufacture of new aluminum.
Researchers from the Jaume I University in Castellón (Spain) have evaluated the efficiency of the four urban waste collection models used in Spanish cities with more than 50,000 inhabitants. The results show that, in the best of cases, 45% of paper and 20% of metal and plastic containers are recycled - percentages that are far off the minimum targets established by law.
Waste Recycling Group (WRG) has proposed to construct and run an Energy from Waste (EfW) facility. The company is currently discussing the proposed plan with Waste Recycling Group (WRG) and plans to run the EfW facility with combined heat and power facility (CHP) at its Cardiff Road location.
We probably all remember the newspaper pictures of houses and factories captured with infrared cameras. The heat pouring out. And although it may be great for keeping the sparrows warm, there is probably better ways to use this energy. Therefore, Risø DTU received considerable funding from the Danish Council for Strategic Research to develop a technology that can convert waste heat into electricity.
Reno Contracting declared that it has reprocessed over 60,000 tons of waste material from construction sites from the beginning of 2009 and saved nearly 72% of construction junk by redirecting them from reaching landfills.
Hydro has entered into an agreement with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to develop modeling and analyses to optimize the recycling of aluminium.
Industry forecasts point toward 75 percent growth in aluminium recycling in the next decade. Roland Scharf-Bergmann, head of Hydro's Recycling unit, attributes the growth to a change in mindset and perceptions in our society.
