A wake-up call for everyone! ♻️ Today, I came across some shocking statistics about waste management. The numbers from 2019 alone are staggering, and it's only going to get worse. That's why it's more important now than ever to do our part. At #neateliteorganizing, we've made it our mission to keep as much as possible out of landfills. Whether we recycle, upcycle, or auction items off, every little bit helps. Please join us in reducing waste by checking out this report for more information: https://lnkd.in/drbiUHni Let's all do our part to make a difference! #recycle #upcycle #keepitoffoflandfills #neateliteorganizing #donateasmuchaspossible #missionvalues

🏡 When replacing your old one, it's crucial to weigh your disposal options: recycling, donating, or trashing. Recycling reduces landfill waste, donating benefits those in need, and trashing should be a last resort due to its environmental impact. Make a choice that aligns with your values and supports sustainability! ♻️🌍 #GoneForGood #EcoFriendly #Sustainability #WasteManagement #CommunitySupport

🌏 🍃 Happy Earth Day! 🍃  🌎 At IPAK, sustainability isn’t just our goal; it's our way of life. This Earth Day, we're proud to reflect on our sustainability efforts and showcase our commitment to eco-friendly practices through upcycling and responsible disposal methods. 📦 Corrugate Upcycling: Did you know that corrugate is primarily made from renewable resources? It has a low environmental impact and supports a circular economy. At IPAK, we repurpose corrugate into new boxes or use it as filler instead of Styrofoam, reducing waste and promoting sustainability. 📄 Paper Recycling: The deterioration of paper over time encourages responsible disposal methods. IPAK has long supported these practices by recycling paper to be repurposed as pulp, minimizing our environmental footprint and conserving resources. 🔧 Equipment Repurposing: Manufacturing new equipment can lead to significant energy consumption and emissions. That is why IPAK purchases pre-existing equipment and re-purposes machinery through our in-house technicians. Not only does this conserve resources, but it also creates technician jobs in our community. 🎁 Overstock Donation: Excess material goods like stuffed animals, games, apparel, and office supplies can be repurposed through donation. IPAK identifies our overstock and donates to charitable organizations, local schools, or other worthy causes in our community, spreading joy while reducing waste. Today, we encourage you to evaluate internal practices and reaffirm your dedication to environmental stewardship! Let's work together to create positive change! #EarthDay #SustainabilityinManufacturing #EcoFriendly #CircularEconomy #ClimateChange #GreenBusiness #CorporateResponsibility #EnvironmentalStewardship #SustainableProcurement

According to the Britannica Dictionary, recycling involves creating something new from items that have been used before. At Desert Wireless, our mission is to prioritize reusing and repurposing the electronic waste we collect rather than merely recycling it. By focusing on reuse and repurposing, we keep electronics out of landfills, protect the environment, and provide valuable goods at reasonable costs that might otherwise be inaccessible. The electronics we collect are distributed both within the US and internationally, helping to deliver essential goods and services to individuals and communities that might otherwise lack access. Before sending your items to traditional recycling programs, please consider our Reuse and Repurpose initiative. By choosing our program, you will make a positive impact on many lives while contributing to environmental protection. We place a value on each piece of electronics we process and pay for them; accordingly, we don’t purchase by the pound or accept items without value. #goodwill #salvationarmy #nonprofit #unitedway #stvincentdepaul #catholiccharities #habitatforhumanity #hospice #stjude #woundedwarriors #peta #humanesociety #communitycollege #university

Creating Change Blog 1: Waste This is the first Blog of a three-part series addressing the problems related to excessive plastic waste. I will provide necessary context of the issue and convey a clear necessity for change. By examining this issue, I plan to inform my audience and change their consumption behaviors related to plastics.   This problem relates to Goal 12 of the United Nation’s Sustainability Development which seeks to ensure global Responsible Consumption and Production.   According to Our World in Data, global plastic waste is disposed of in four main methods; stored in landfills, is mismanaged, gets incinerated, and recycled. Globally In 2019, 49.21% of plastic waste ended up in landfills and 22.7% was mismanaged by being burned in open pits or ended up as pollution. 18.08% of global plastic waste was properly incinerated, and 9.29% was recycled. These figures may be staggering for some and expected for others. Personally, I expected the recycling figure to be lower.   Using the same graph, we can see the United States' methods of dealing with plastic waste. In 2019, 72.88% of plastic waste ended up buried in landfills and only 5.92% was mismanaged. As for Incineration, 19.08% of U.S plastic waste was burned, and a measly 4.49% was recycled. It is clear as day that we are behind most of the world when it comes to recycling programs but are great at burying our problems.   I propose that this lack of response to excessive waste is due to a lack of awareness and critical thinking from the consumer populace. If there was more awareness and care for this issue, it would be considered more when creating policy. I seek to address this lack of awareness by informing the audience of the negative impacts of plastics. References:

Who else has a drawer with old batteries shoved in the back, waiting to be dealt with one day? Though we generally know that properly disposing of hazardous materials is crucial for environmental and personal safety, we don't always know what that looks like. On the blog, we take a look at practical ways to send off that “get rid of” pile, once and for all! No more dead batteries going back in our drawers, thank you! Sustainable decluttering involves responsibly disposing of unwanted items through recycling, donating, upcycling, and swapping. This way we ensure minimal environmental impact. By following eco-friendly practices, you can keep your home organized while contributing positively to the planet. Check out our tips! https://lnkd.in/gDBFhj7w

From the 6th of April it will become law for all businesses, charities, and public sector orgs in Wales to sort their waste for recycling, but why? And how does this affect your business? Swipe below to find out 👋 Why is the law changing? Plain and simple, to improve the quality and quantity of recycling that comes from workplaces. This is a key step forward in tackling the climate emergency. Wales aims to become a zero-waste nation by 2050. The recycling rate for households in Wales is already one of the highest in the world, with over 65% of collected waste currently being recycled. The new Workplace Recycling Regulations aim to replicate these results for businesses. Separating and sorting recycling in workplaces should ensure much less waste is sent to landfill and for incineration (with the added bonus of avoiding the costs passed on from landfill tax). Eriez engineers recycling solutions to keep these materials in use for as long as possible by giving them a new life.

🌊 The Great Pacific Garbage Patch GPGP is the largest accumulation of floating ocean #plastics in the world. The Ocean Cleanup, a non-profit organization operating to rid the world’s oceans of plastic, has revealed an alarming trend about the GPGP: ‼️the rapid rise in smaller plastic fragments that is nearly fivefold increase in just seven years. It creates long-term, potentially irreversible damage to our #oceans. ⚠️ If we delay, the impacts of plastic #pollution will become even more challenging to reverse it.
