· Recycling involves recovery of packaging materials from the waste stream and reprocessing them into new products. A typical recycling program entails collection, sorting and processing, manufacturing, and sale of recycled materials and products (Marsh & Bugusu, 2007). Increased environmental concerns have created a need for recycling packaging materials.
Packaging fresh fruits and vegetables is one of the more important steps in the long and complicated journey from grower to consumer. Bags, crates, hampers, baskets, cartons, bulk bins, and palletized containers are convenient containers for handling, transporting, and marketing fresh produce. More than 1,500 different types of packages are used for produce in the U.S.
· Originally written by ia Buechel, of iScrap App.. Most of us know the value of recycling and reusing items like plastic bottles, hand-me-down clothing, and newspapers.Through reuse and recycling, we can reduce what goes to the landfill, reduce waste, and save on
· In 2003, however, this still amounted to only 14.8 per cent of the waste plastic generated (from all sources). Together with feedstock recycling (1.7 per cent) and energy recovery (22.5 per cent), this amounted to a total recovery rate of approximately 39 per cent from the 21.1 million tonnes of plastic waste generated in 2003 (figure 3). This trend for both rates of mechanical recycling and energy recovery to increase is continuing, although so is the trend for increasing waste

· How to make money from garbage. This was a really interesting post! I had heard about the worm poop on The Good Human just recently, but many years ago when I
· Highlights Increasing amount of plastic waste needs to be recycled and separated. Triboelectrostatic separation is a promising method for plastic wastes recycling. We summarize the devices and present a general integrated separation process. Impact factors and numerical methods are discussed for optimizing the technology. Both challenges and opportunities exist for improving the
Byproducts/Waste Leftover scraps of sheet metal are sold to metal recycling centers, and leftover aluminum is remelted for use. The leftover plastic is ground into small chunks and reused on non-visible parts because the color cannot be kept consistent.

The bags are available in any Pantone colors and with printing up to 10 colors in either flexo or rotogravure printing. Block bottom side gusset mailing bags are ideal for shipping 3D packages such as shoes box and other bulkier items. Material HDPE/ LDPE. Size 100
· The energy-related costs of collecting and transporting plastic waste, and especially of processing it for re-use, are frequently the deciding factor in assessing the practicability of recycling. Collection of plastic wastes from diverse sources and locations and their transport to processing centers consumes energy and presents numerous
· Take the tail and slide it into the tail grip, secure it with screws and install it on the longer end of the horizontal rod. Secure the whole tail as well. Take the second spool flange and prepare the clips. Click the clips onto the spool as shown in the pictures and insert the blades in.
Coaxial or coax cables are electrical cables created to carry high frequency, multi-megahertz electrical signals. They contain an inner conducting wire, usually copper, surrounded by a protective double insulating layer and then an outer plastic sheath, giving them a distinctive appearance. Coaxial cables are durable, easy to install, and have
· A literature analysis was performed to determine the metal content of PV panels. Data extracted from twelve articles available in the literature are listed in Table 1A (Supplementary Material) and are here shown in the form of a boxplot in Fig. 2 (Fthenakis and Wang, 2006, Sander et al., 2007, McDonald and Pearce, 2010, Choi and Fthenakis, 2014, Paiano, 2015, Dias et al., 2016, Jung et al
· Electrical wires also contain copper underneath that black or colored plastic insulation is bright colored copper wire. Copper is one of the most valuable metals to recycle. So, separating it from your other metals can earn you some “pat-on-the-back” money for recycling
Food waste, on the other hand, refers to. food that is of appropriate quality to eat but is discarded before it is consumed, either at the retail. location or by the final consumer (Lipinski et al
· In the liquefaction step the plastic waste is mildly thermally cracked (depolymerization) into synthetic heavy oil and some condensable and non-condensable gas fractions. Oil and condensed gas produced are injected to the entrained gasifier (Croezen and Sas, 1997).
· PLASTIC EXTRUSION Plastics extrusion is a continuous high-volume manufacturing process, in which raw plastic is melted and formed into a continuous profile. This process starts by feeding plastic material (pellets, granules, flakes or powders) from a hopper into the barrel of the extruder. The material is gradually melted.
· Informal treatment of e-waste plays an important role in many countries which have no or weak formal waste management structures. One of the challenges for assessing informal e-waste recycling technologies is to identify their disadvantages and potential technology improvement. The analysis of informal recycling processes starts with a balance of input and output materials for each of

· On July 1, the Japanese government enacted a ban on the practice of handing out free plastic bags by retail businesses. Instead, shops, convenience stores, and restaurants must charge extra for such a luxury. This is of course an effort to reduce plastic waste and encourage people to embrace the reusable-bag lifestyle instead.

· The on-pack recycling label (or OPRL) Look out for the following labels which appear on all sorts of packagingfrom soft drink cans, to bread bags and plastic toiletry bottles. They will tell you whether the packaging is likely to be collected for recycling or if you can take it to your local recycling
· Triboelectrostatic separation for recycling plastic waste is absolutely an economically satisfactory mechanical process for its simplicity. Fig. 3 shows a flowchart for the separation of plastics. To be separated, plastic waste is usually crushed and screened into proper size, the mixture granules get charged by a tribocharger, and then are fed into a electric field for deflection and then collected.
Plastic is usually given a number from 1 to 7 inside a small recycling circle. Here’s what each number is. Bear in mind when selecting the plastic that the lower the number, the more readily recycled the plastic is. PET (Polyethylene terephthalate)transparent, glossy, and very tough. Great for protection and commonly used in drinks bottles.
