A whoosh of wind and a clatter of metal announced the arrival of Captain Re-Cycle, landing heroically between the crumpled aluminum can and the squished plastic bottle. The can, wide-eyed with fear, stammered, "R-recycling emergency? Does that mean...more flattening?" Captain Re-Cycle, a beacon of green and blue, chuckled. "Don't worry, Can-Do! It's not so bad for you. But for this eco-warrior," he winked at the smiling plastic bottle, "recycling is a breeze. they get reborn - new bottles, clothes, even playgrounds!" #RecycleHeroes #PETPower #EnvironmentDay ♻️

The amount of e-waste generated globally is around 64 billion kgs! In this era of technological advancement with an increasing obsession for gadgets and with a culture of use-and-throw on the rise, e-waste comprises of 70% toxic waste and as per global statistics 800 laptops are thrown away every second! While only 12% of this is recycled, a staggering 85% goes in the landfills and incinerators. Here is the story behind a beautiful upcycled masterpiece – a tiny step to create awareness in this direction! https://lnkd.in/gCn7Raps

KOPPARBERG: Recycling Rig To bring Kopparbergs 'Recycling Rig' to life we took an old Swiss army truck and stripped it down and rebuilt it with up-cycled materials, including 87 speakers, a DJ booth and huge rotating recycling wheel at the rear. With a design inspired by cult film Mad Max, the Recycling Rig powered parties in the capital's parks in exchange for empty bottles and cans handed in by Londoners, creating the ultimate incentive to recycle! The more empty bottles and cans that were handed in, the longer the music played. Visitors to London parks heard remixes of popular classics and summer inspired hits hosted by a resident DJ. The 'Recycling Rig' was the latest instalment of Kopparberg's "Fånga Dagen" campaign, encouraging us all to do our bit to keep our parks green, while having a great time too. It’s a mindset they live by in Kopparberg town and the reason why the brand was created 24 years ago.

Plastic pollution is a global crisis, and right now world leaders have a rare opportunity to solve it. 🌍🛑 The UN Plastics Treaty #INC4 negotiations are a unique chance for us to create a future free from plastic pollution and its toxic health impacts. 🌱💚 The #PlasticsTreaty is not just about plastic pollution found in the ocean or nature. It needs to address the full life cycle of plastics, including extraction and production, and ban toxic chemicals so that it also protects our health and addresses social injustices worldwide.   A majority of countries in the UN process have been working diligently and in good faith for a strong UN Plastics Treaty that would tackle plastic pollution throughout its toxic existence.   🚨But right now, the Treaty is at risk because of a handful of countries that put profit over people and are trying to block real progress. 🚫 We must make sure world leaders do not allow the current “business as usual” scenario of ever-expanding petrochemical and plastic production to lead us to a dystopian world like the ones @therealmargaretatwood often writes about. 🫱🏼🫲🏿 Together we have the power to build a more just, equitable world free from plastic pollution if governments can negotiate a UN Plastics Treaty that limits plastic production, supports impacted communities, and provides real solutions such as reuse systems.   💥 But we need support to stop industrial lobbyists and ill-intentioned corporations from influencing these crucial negotiations. The strength of the Treaty is at stake. 👇✅Please join us and take action now by signing our 🇺🇸US and 🌍 Global petitions here: US: https://lnkd.in/e85Tqavz Global: https://lnkd.in/dmNNRQPB. 🎥 Video: Poem by Margaret Atwood, narrated by Sylvia Earle, Mission Blue / Sylvia Earle Alliance #ToxicPlastics #PlasticPollutes #BreakFreeFromPlastic #PlasticsTreaty #INC4 #GlobalPlasticsTreaty #Plastic #PlasticPollution #MargaretAtwood Plastic Pollution Coalition - Break Free From Plastic - Jen Fela - Antoinette Vermilye (she/her) - Dianna Cohen - Rob "Waldo" Martin - John Vermilye   It sprouts everywhere, this foliage. Up in the trees, like mistletoe, or caught in the marshes   or blooming in the ponds like waterlilies, gaudy and frilly, rippling as if alive   or washing onto the beaches, neo-seaweed of torn bags, cast wrappers, tangled rope shredded by tides and rocks.   But unlike true foliage it’s rootless and gives nothing back, not even one empty calorie.   Who plants it, this useless crop? Who harvests it? Who can say Stop? https://lnkd.in/exb-JpmF

The Sierra REB4 is the most versatile baler on the market. The dual compression doors have 300 door face psi, enabling it to not only bale OCC and other papers, plastics, and cans, but msw, aluminum siding, aluminum extrusion, irrigation pipe, radiators, copper, other aluminum grades, and many other materials. This separates the REB4 from other "lid type" balers.

Our r-PET products are part of our Aspire Range, a carefully selected collection of products with documented features that are more sustainable than conventional equivalents. The POWERTEX PWE r-PET Webbing Slings are entirely made from recycled PET bottles (r-PET). And the best part is that we've reduced the CO2 emissions by 70%, while still maintaining its top-notch quality and safety standards. One of our customers Porteous Groundworks Ltd recently invested in our r-PET Webbing Slings, and they said: “The new recycled Web Slings we purchased from LGS have been great. We cannot notice the difference between quality or use of the product from the previous ones we used. The fact they are 100% recycled is great for us and supporting our journey to Net Zero. The bright colours also make it easy to distinguish between the SWLs. We have now agreed all our future purchases will be from the r-PET sling Range.” Craig Williams, Technical Sales Executive, here at Lifting Gear and Safety said: “Its great to have Porteous purchasing the r-PET slings, its so important to invest in our future, and the r-PET products empower customers to make a more sustainable choice without having to sacrifice on neither quality nor safety! We’re so pleased to hear that moving forward Porteous will continue to invest in the r-PET sling range.” See our r-PET range here: https://ow.ly/sGiR50S21kW #environmentalsustainability #lifting #liftingproducts #sustainablelifting #sustainability

🛑 YOU DON'T SCRAP AN OLD RUNI! Many years ago, O. H. Fiskeeksport, a Danish producer of salmon-products, started out with 1 RUNI to compact their waste fish boxes. As their business grew, they needed 1 more machine to handle the increasing amount of EPS boxes. Last year, O.H. Fiskeeksport wished to change from their 2 single RUNIs to a system with one shared pre-crusher with 2 RUNIs underneath to ease the logistics. At the same time, the machines, now aged 18 and 13 years, needed a thorough maintenance check and new spare parts 🔧 . We repurposed all usable parts from the two old machines and assembled these together with a brand new SK370 and automatic block dividers in a brand new storage facility. “We are very satisfied with the upgrade and we are now experiencing improved efficiency and reliability. It was positively surprising to see to what extent RUNI was able to reuse the old machines,” said Ole Hatlebak, owner of O.H. Fiskeeksport. The modular architecture of RUNI machines makes it easy to swap worn-out parts, combine new and old parts, and redesign the layout of the RUNI installation when a company’s needs evolve over time.
