@psycodepath Er wird jetzt wieder ein Teil des Kreislaufs des Lebens! Er reinkarniert als Klopapier. #Recycling
“The discovery uses tiny micro batteries to break down the lithium, nickel, cobalt and manganese from a battery, before using an amino acid to extract the metals.
“The use of glycine as the amino acid avoids using harsh chemicals for the recycling process, [and avoids] the creation of toxic byproducts.
“The newly developed system is able to recover 99.99 per cent of the lithium, 96.8 per cent of the nickel, 92.35 per cent of the cobalt and 90.59 per cent of the manganese from old batteries in just 15 minutes.”

Wissenschaftler fordern, #Plastik in #Klimaschutzpläne aufzunehmen.
Derzeit ignorieren über 90 % der Staaten des Pariser Abkommens die #Emissionen aus #Plastikproduktion und -entsorgung in ihren nationalen #Klimastrategien.
Dabei verursacht #Plastik bis zu 8 % der weltweiten #Treibhausgasemissionen.

It’s disgraceful so much stuff specifically designed not to be repaired these days.

My neighbor asked me for a clock
I made the clock with wood from an old pallet.

The next-generation #SolarCell is fully #recyclable
12 February 2025
Anders Törneholm
"In a study published in Nature, researchers at Linköping University have developed a method to recycle all parts of a solar cell repeatedly without environmentally hazardous #solvents. The recycled solar cell has the same efficiency as the original one. The solar cell is made of #perovskite and the main solvent is water."

A 6 year old boy in #Hampshire SE #England, saved thousands of sweet tubs from landfill for #recycling - they were taken to #Exeter (*not* that far away!) and recycled into #furniture, including a #bench that was donated to his primary #school
Just a few little things to go to the textile recycling bin. That's not a lawn mower in there, it's stuffed full of clothes and a few shoes.
These ones are still wearable. I sorted out the rodent chewed ones and a few that we want to wash and try on ourselves.
Kept a lot of nice blankets. Blankets are always good.
The local recycling company suggests these may actually be re-used? Unlikely if you look into what a sham most recycling is, but there's hope.
Japan has adopted a bill obliging companies that emit at least 100,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide a year to participate in the country's carbon emissions trading system. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2025/02/26/sustainability/emissions-trading-obligations/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #environment #sustainability #carbon #emissions #manufacturing #recycling
#Mehrweg statt #Einweg – wie kann man Müll bei Getränken reduzieren und die Umwelt schonen?
#Einwegflaschen und -dosen resultieren trotz #Pfandsystem in #Plastikmüll und #Altmetall. #Mehrwegbehälter hingegen können bis zu 50 Mal wiederverwendet werden und sind deutlich ressourcenschonender. Mehr dazu im Beitrag. Macht mit und werft Einwegverpackungen aus Eurem Einkaufswagen.

I have published the umbrella-into-shopping-bag as a free pattern/sewing tutorial on Tumblr with lots of diagrams!
More free wood chip. The primary school down the road were having all their hawthorn trees chopped back. I asked the tree surgeons if they could drop it off on the driveway and they were only too happy to do so.
It will be ferried up to the allotments for mulching the pathways on plots. #Gardening #NoDig #Recycling
