• Closed-loop and open-loop recycling. Closed-loop recycling is when material producers, fabricators, or builders capture their own waste, convert it into a recyclate—a form that can be reused in manufacture—and process it back into their own products. This is the more common type of loop because it is relatively easy to do.

· The bold contour represents the breakeven point for recycling a wind turbine blade. What this line suggests is that in the best-case scenario of full resale value of the polymer, the recovered fiberglass in the wind turbine blade needs to be sold at 7% of the price for
Polymer-based multilayer packaging materials are commonly used in order to combine the respective performance of different polymers. By this approach, the tailored functionality of packaging concepts is created to sufficiently protect sensitive food products and thus obtain extended shelf life. However, because of their poor recyclability, most multilayers are usually incinerated or landfilled
Aluminum Composite Materialwidely referred to as ACMis a rigid sheet made of two sheets of pre-finished aluminum, bonded to a polyethylene core. Light in weight, yet highly durable, ACM sheets are often used for outdoor and indoor signage and channel letter backings, as
Reducing the environmental impact of packaging and tackling plastic waste are urgent priorities for us, which we take extremely seriously. We want to contribute to a circular economy where packaging material is recycled or reused, while minimizing food waste and the overall environmental impact of packaging, including on climate change.
· So recycled plastic beds need some form of cross-bracing to stiffen the sides and prevent them from bowing outwards. A common solution is the use of aluminum “flat-stock”, which is just a straight bar of aluminum drilled on each end and secured to either side of the bed. Any recycled plastic raised bed 6’ or longer should have cross-bracing.
· According to the Future of Construction, an organization curated by the University of Waterloo, the engineering and construction industry is the leading consumer of raw materials in the world.In fact, there are 800 billion tons of natural resources dedicated to the construction industry.. Among the natural resources commonly used in construction are sand, rock, stone, timber, wood, sod, and clay.
