The grotesque increase in #plastics production was justified by the grotesque #lie that plastics are easily #recyclable.

@primonatura Oooooh...! This is very exciting news!
"Starting with proven battery designs that use #zinc anodes, the researchers add alkaline water electrolysis to come up with a completely new technology. By contrast to common #lithium batteries, zinc batteries are substantially cheaper and need only easily available, fully #recyclable materials (steel, zinc, and potassium hydroxide). And that is not the only trick up their sleeves: The system would be able to produce hydrogen on demand."

From @BostonPWD RT by @MassDEP: A reminder to #Boston residents that plastic bags are not #recyclable. They can jam machines at the processing facility and cause delays. Please keep them out of your blue #recycling bin. We appreciate it! ♻️♻️♻️

"We use #disposable #diapers and disposable poopers too?"

"WTF?"

Scientists Created a New #Recyclable #Plastic Not Made From Crude Oil

Fun tip:
(almost) Everything on #boxes.py (https://www.festi.info/boxes.py/) an be cut from cardboard. And even the humblest cheap diode #lasercutter can cut cardboard.

I've used this to good effect with some of the 'hinged box' designs for presents and gifts.

But this is more practical, a sorting tray that took an hour from thinking about it to fully assembled. So tight it doesn't need glue, and fully #recyclable once it gets manky or superseded.

@Lemlems Big shout out for oiled wool (yarn) here as in the Guernsey jumper or the Islay blanket. These guys are just scratching the surface! #natural #recyclable #SlowFashion

We can at least make good use of the Vanadium we already have. And yes, this a press release -- but I've been following the progress of Vanadium Flow batteries for over 10 years and I've seen a tremendous amount of progress in perfecting the technology.

2021: U.S. #Vanadium Successfully Recycles Electrolyte From Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries at a 97% Recovery Rate

"Because of their nearly unlimited energy storage capacity, high efficiency, zero emissions, very long cycle lives, and relatively low cost of available electricity on a lifecycle basis, VRFB energy storage systems are enabling consumers to utilize #renewable energy systems for 100% of their actual power needs without having to rely on renewable energy credits and other accounting offsets.

“'VRFB technologies are key to the U.S. and other nations in moving closer to truly 100% grid-level renewable energy power generation systems,' said Mark A. Smith, Chief Executive Officer of Hot Springs, Ark.-based U.S. Vanadium.

"Against a background of increasingly prevalent waste disposal issues faced by #lithium-ion batteries, VRFBs have the important benefit of its liquid electrolyte being nearly 100% #recyclable. Vanadium electrolyte, and its ability to be recycled for continuing use, is considered to be a key advantage for the technology that is expected lead to increased worldwide adoption of VRFBs as an alternative to lithium-ion batteries."

Great webinar on StorEn and their #vanadium flow #batteries. 100% #recyclable!! Won’t replace #lithium batteries in cars or mobile use, but perfect for residential or commercial (static installation).

If you’re looking for a #cleantech investment, this might be the ticket!

@MarkRuffalo
The #plastics industry was finally exposed for its #recyclable plastic #fraud, so they pivot to another excuse to manufacture more consumer plastics.

"A new chemical process discovered as part of a Vestas-led project removes the need for changing the design or composition of the material used for #wind #turbine #blades to make them #recyclable as it allows for epoxy-based blades to be broken down into raw material that can be reused to make new wind turbine blades or to be used for other purposes."
