The collaboration between the Recycling Association and the Recycling Expo which is held at London ExCel on the 15th & 16th October promises to bring forward key discussions on critical topics shaping our sector. With our partnership, we can anticipate insightful sessions covering core themes such as Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), Simpler Recycling, and the journey towards a circular economy. This strategic alliance underscores the commitment of both organizations to drive positive change and foster innovation within the recycling landscape. #RecyclingAssociation #RecyclingExpo #CircularEconomy #Sustainability

Before we recycle, there’s a lot we can do to reuse, repair, refurbish, remanufacture, or repurpose goods. ♻ To encourage this “Re-X,” the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Technologies Office just launched the new American-Made Program "Re-X Before Recycling" Prize, which aims to unlock circular supply chains that could give products or parts multiple lives before they head to recycling centers or landfills. The prize, which offers $4.5 million in cash prizes and $1.1 million in technical assistance, could also help create local jobs and environmental benefits to serve two large national goals: decarbonizing our economy and ensuring those benefits equitably serve disadvantaged communities. Anyone interested in applying is encouraged to follow the prize and join an informational webinar on Dec. 14 at 1 p.m. ET. https://lnkd.in/gBipsBbu

A new position paper from Recycling Netwerk Benelux, Minderoo Foundation, and other signatories encourages the revision of European legislation to improve Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) measures and support waste prevention, separate collection, high-quality recycling, and reuse.

With GLOBAL RECYCLING DAY fast approaching, let's take a moment to appreciate how the EPAL pallet embodies the spirit of recycling 🌏♻️. These pallets are more than just carriers; they're a testament to sustainable practices, designed to be reused, repaired, and recycled, thus minimizing waste and reducing the need for new raw materials. An EPAL pallet's lifespan can extend over several years, showcasing its durability and commitment to environmental sustainability. This longevity not only reflects the quality and reliability of EPAL pallets but also significantly contributes to reducing the carbon footprint associated with the production and disposal of single-use packaging. As we celebrate this special day, let's recognize the vital role that EPAL pallets play in promoting a greener, more sustainable world and commit to supporting recycling initiatives that pave the way for a healthier planet.

PreZero, a dedicated waste recycling company, has forged a robust collaboration with Scania, spanning nearly four decades. Embracing the principles of the circular economy, PreZero endeavors to close the loops with its customers, transforming waste into new materials. With a fleet of approximately 750 trucks, the company prioritizes sustainable waste collection, especially for outbound transport, where around 130 trucks are on the road. The key to PreZero's commitment to emission reduction lies in their extensive use of electric trucks, with over 10 already in operation. This collaboration not only aids Scania in waste reduction but also aligns with PreZero's ambition to achieve a fully sustainable fleet by 2030, where at least one-third of their trucks will operate electrically, thereby solidifying PreZero and Scania's shared commitment to a sustainable future. "Our drivers are very happy driving electric trucks. So the trucks are smooth. They are silent. They are clean. Once they experienced it, they don't want anything else. Our ambition is to have at least one third of the complete fleet operating electrically in 2030," shares Iwan te Winkel, Director Collection & Operations at PreZero Netherlands. #electric

Our ReCover program is helping to divert flooring products from landfill, turning waste into more valuable resources, one square yard at a time. Not only do we do this on Global Recycling Day, we do it on every other day. #circulareconomy #sustainability #closetheloop

In the dynamic world we live in, stability is key, and in the field of recycling, it is crucial. Ambitions for a circular economy, a clean environment and decarbonisation are unwavering, and recycling is at the heart of these goals. The recycling industry saves carbon emissions and provides recyclable raw materials for the economy. This is what I said today at the 5th Round Table of the Bulgarian Recycling Association.

♻️Do you know how it's called the international recycling symbol? The triangle composed of three arrows looping back on themselves in clockwise directions is called "Mobius Loop". This symbol indicates that a product can be recycled, but not necessarily that it has been itself produced from recycled materials.
