Our planet is choking on plastics. Some of the worst offenders, which can take decades to degrade in landfills, are polypropylene—which is used for things such as food packaging and bumpers—and polyethylene, found in plastic bags, bottles, toys, and even mulch.

Polypropylene and polyethylene can be recycled, but the process can be difficult and often produces large quantities of the greenhouse gas methane. They are both polyolefins, which are the products of polymerizing ethylene and propylene, raw materials that are mainly derived from fossil fuels. The bonds of polyolefins are also notoriously hard to break.

Now, researchers at UC Berkeley have come up with a method of recycling these polymers that uses catalysts that easily break their bonds, converting them into propylene and isobutylene, which are gases at room temperature. Those gases can then be recycled into new plastics.

“Because polypropylene and polyethylene are among the most difficult and expensive plastics to separate from each other in a mixed waste stream, it is crucial that [a recycling] process apply to both polyolefins,” the research team said in a study recently published in Science.

Breaking It Down

The recycling process the team used is known as isomerizing ethenolysis, which relies on a catalyst to break down olefin polymer chains into their small molecules. Polyethylene and polypropylene bonds are highly resistant to chemical reactions, because both of these polyolefins have long chains of single carbon-carbon bonds. Most polymers have at least one carbon-carbon double bond, which is much easier to break.

While isomerizing ethenolysis had been tried by the same researchers before, the previous catalysts were expensive metals that did not remain pure long enough to convert all of the plastic into gas. Using sodium on alumina followed by tungsten oxide on silica proved much more economical and effective, even though the high temperatures required for the reaction added a bit to the cost.

In both plastics, exposure to sodium on alumina broke each polymer chain into shorter polymer chains and created breakable carbon-carbon double bonds at the ends. The chains continued to break over and over. Both then underwent a second process known as olefin metathesis. They were exposed to a stream of ethylene gas flowing into a reaction chamber while being introduced to tungsten oxide on silica, which resulted in the breakage of the carbon-carbon bonds.

The reaction breaks all the carbon-carbon bonds in polyethylene and polypropylene, with the carbon atoms released during the breaking of these bonds ending up attached to molecules of ethylene. “The ethylene is critical to this reaction, as it is a coreactant,” researcher R.J. Conk, one of the authors of the study, told Ars Technica. “The broken links then react with ethylene, which removes the links from the chain. Without ethylene, the reaction cannot occur.”

The entire chain is catalyzed until polyethylene is fully converted to propylene, and polypropylene is converted to a mixture of propylene and isobutylene.

This method has high selectivity—meaning it produces a large amount of the desired product: propylene derived from polyethylene, and both propylene and isobutylene derived from polypropylene. Both of these chemicals are in high demand; propylene is an important raw material for the chemical industry, while isobutylene is a frequently used monomer in many different polymers, including synthetic rubber and a gasoline additive.

Mixing It Up

Because plastics are often mixed at recycling centers, the researchers wanted to see what would happen if polypropylene and polyethylene underwent isomerizing ethenolysis together. The reaction was successful, converting the mixture into propylene and isobutylene, with slightly more propylene than isobutylene.

Mixtures also typically include contaminants in the form of additional plastics. So the team also wanted to see whether the reaction would still work if there were contaminants. They experimented with plastic objects that would otherwise be thrown away, including a centrifuge and a bread bag, both of which contained traces of other polymers besides polypropylene and polyethylene. The reaction yielded only slightly less propylene and isobutylene than it did with unadulterated versions of the polyolefins.

Another test involved introducing different plastics, such as PET and PVC, to polypropylene and polyethylene to see if that would make a difference. These did lower the yield significantly. If this approach is going to be successful, then all but the slightest traces of contaminants will have to be removed from polypropylene and polyethylene products before they are recycled.

While this recycling method sounds like it could prevent tons upon tons of waste, it will need to be scaled up enormously for this to happen. When the research team increased the scale of the experiment, it produced the same yield, which looks promising for the future. Still, we’ll need to build considerable infrastructure before this could make a dent in our plastic waste.

“We hope that the work described … will lead to practical methods for … [producing] new polymers,” the researchers said in the same study. “By doing so, the demand for production of these essential commodity chemicals starting from fossil carbon sources and the associated greenhouse gas emissions could be greatly reduced.”

The hair that drops in clumps on the floors of some salons in Kiel, a port city in northern Germany, is swept up to be turned into fabrics that filter oil from water. Parents who want to buy their children cloth nappies instead of disposable ones can apply for grants of up to €200 from the local authorities. At the city’s biggest festival last year, the organisers got rid of single-use cutlery and replaced it with a deposit system.

Germany is famed as a world leader in recycling – and Kiel, as I found out during a visit this summer, has some of the most weird and workable plans in the country to deal with its trash. It is the first German city to be declared “zero waste” by the environmental campaign group Zero Waste Europe. The certificate does not mean it has already stopped throwing things away – far from it – but rather that it has a concrete plan for how to do better.

“It’s one step in the right direction,” says Bettina Aust – a Green party politician who was elected president of Kiel city council in June – over a glass of juice made from apples that had been saved from landing in a supermarket bin. “You have to keep thinking further … You cannot stay still.”

Germany has a complicated relationship with waste. Despite its status as a world leader in recycling, Europe’s biggest economy is also one of its dirtiest. In 2021, the average German generated 646kg of waste, while the average EU citizen generated 530kg. Only in four EU countries – Austria, Luxembourg, Denmark and Belgium – did people throw away more.

Dino Klösen, a manager at Kiel’s waste management company ABK, says trends in the country’s consumption can be seen in its bins. Paper recycling bins that would have once been full of newspapers are now bursting with cardboard from delivery packages. “The weight of paper waste has dropped but the volume keeps rising from online shopping,” he says.

Awash with waste, cities like Kiel are exploring ways to throw away less and recycle more of what it does chuck. The city council has announced projects ranging from a ban on single-use items in public institutions, to installing more public drinking fountains, to teaching schoolchildren about waste. It is also encouraging people to make simple changes to their behaviour such as using solid bars of soap instead of buying plastic bottles of the stuff.

Other proposals are more systemic. The city is trialling a “pay as you throw” system where people are charged only for the rubbish they throw in the mixed waste bin. A report from the European Environment Agency last year found only about 30% of Germany is covered by such a scheme, even though areas that were covered saw an average drop in mixed waste of 25%.

“General waste is the most expensive form of rubbish there is,” says Klösen. “We are trying to motivate citizens to throw less waste in the bin by making them pay less for doing so.”

Even though waste-cutting efforts like Kiel’s are fairly novel in Germany, recycling is firmly rooted in the culture. In 2021, Germans collected more than two-thirds of their municipal solid waste to be repurposed – more than any other country in Europe. They burned most of the rest for energy, and dumped just 1% in landfills (the EU average is 16%).

A machine learning-based approach to discover nanocomposite films for biodegradable plastic alternatives

The accumulation of plastic waste in natural environments is of utmost concern, as it is contributing to the destruction of ecosystems and is causing harm to aquatic life. In recent years, material scientists have thus been trying to identify all-natural alternatives to plastic that could be used to package or manufacture products. Researchers at University of Maryland, College Park, recently devised a new approach to discover promising biodegradable plastic alternatives. Their proposed method, outlined in a paper published in Nature Nanotechnology, combines state-of-the-art machine learning techniques with molecular science. "My inspiration for this research was sparked by a 2019 visit to Palau in the Western Pacific," Prof. Po-Yen Chen, co-author of the paper, told Tech Xplore. "The impact of plastic pollution on marine life there—floating plastic films deceiving fish and sea turtles mistaking plastic waste for food—was deeply disturbing. This motivated me to apply my expertise to this environmental issue and led to my focus on finding a solution when setting up my research lab at UMD."

Deutsche Telekom turns to AI to support legal departments

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/deutsche-telekom-turns-to-ai-to-support-legal-departments/

Deutsche Telekom turns to AI to support legal departments

.pp-multiple-authors-boxes-wrapper display:none; img width:100%;

Deutsche Telekom, one of Europe’s leading telecoms companies, has unveiled a new AI-powered software-as-a-service solution called “Law Monitor” aimed at supporting corporate legal departments in quickly identifying changes to national and international laws.

In an era of increasingly complex regulatory environments, companies across all industries are struggling to keep up with the constant stream of legal updates. The Law Monitor seeks to address this challenge by automating the time-consuming process of monitoring legislative changes.

Dr Ferri Abolhassan, CEO of T-Systems and member of the Board of Management of Deutsche Telekom AG, said: “AI has come to stay. At T-Systems, we see ourselves as consultants for our customers and need to make AI tangible. The Law Monitor is a good example of this.”

The AI-based model scans legal texts from the German Federal Law Gazette, using advanced algorithms to recognise and structure information from text, images, and tables. This processed data is then presented to legal department employees via an intuitive dashboard, allowing them to quickly identify relevant changes.

Abolhassan highlighted a recent example from the automotive industry to illustrate the tool’s potential impact: “Since 7 July, for example, binding regulations have applied throughout the EU for the integration of specific assistance systems, such as emergency braking and lane departure warning systems in new cars. Law Monitor helps car manufacturers to make these regulations transparent in real time in order to adapt production at an early stage.”

The need for such a tool is clear. Companies are facing an unprecedented density of regulations both in Germany and worldwide. For instance, the European packaging industry recently had to adapt to new requirements mandating that disposable plastic bottles be produced with attached lids to reduce plastic waste.

While the Law Monitor currently focuses on legislative changes in Germany, Deutsche Telekom plans to expand its coverage to 19 additional countries – including specific states in the US – in the coming months. This expansion will allow the tool to display legal changes from different countries in a single interface, setting it apart from existing competing products.

The solution is designed to be applicable across various industries and even the public sector. Deutsche Telekom reports that one customer from the automotive industry is already using the Law Monitor, with others from both the automotive and packaging industries expressing strong interest.

By automating the process of monitoring legal changes, the Law Monitor not only saves time but also allows legal professionals to focus on more value-added tasks such as analysing the content and assessing the context of these changes.

Deutsche Telekom’s initiative demonstrates how AI can be leveraged to address real-world challenges in the legal and compliance space, potentially revolutionising how companies stay informed about and adapt to legislative changes.

Role of Plastic Waste Management Services in Backing PIBOs

The Plastic Waste Management rules aim to reduce waste generated by single-use plastics effectively. These rules establish important compliance measures for PIBOs, which include Producers, Importers, and Brand Owners.

Producers, brand owners, and importers who generate plastic waste have a legal obligation to adhere to the norms and guidelines of the State Pollution Control Board (SPCB). The objective is to mitigate environmental hazards by implementing compliance measures and reducing plastic waste generation nationwide.

This blog provides a comprehensive analysis of the compliances associated with plastic waste management. We will even throw some light on the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), EPR Services, EPR Credit, EPR Certificate, PWP Certificate, EPR Registration, EPR Plastic, Plastic Recycling, and EPR Trading.

Rationale for Implementing the Plastic Waste Management Regulations in India

Implementing Plastic Waste Management rules in India addresses the longstanding issue of escalating post-consumer plastic waste. The government has taken significant measures to combat this problem, such as entrusting PIBOs with the responsibility of eco-friendly screening and handling of plastic waste.

A tangible framework for plastic waste accumulation has been facilitated through EPR, with waste collection targets being implemented and amended periodically. Transparency is a key focus, ensuring accountability in the procurement, transportation, processing, storage, and disposal of plastic waste.

Compliances for Plastic Waste Management in PIBOs

Producers must obtain authorization from the State Pollution Control Board (SPCB) to comply with plastic waste management regulations by submitting Form 1.

Compliance Requirements for Waste Generators under the PWM Rules

1. A waste generator is required to take measures to minimize the plastic waste generated and to segregate waste at the source following the Solid Waste Management Rules of 2000.

2. Waste generators must refrain from littering plastic waste and instead ensure the waste is stored separately at the source. This sorted waste should then be channelled to a local urban agency, gram panchayat, or registered waste pickers, recyclers, or waste collection units.

3. As per explicit Municipal Solid Waste (Management and Handling) Rules of 2000, as provided by S.O 908(E) dated 25/09/2000 under the relevant Act, institutional plastic waste generators are required to segregate and store their waste appropriately. Subsequently, they must then direct the sorted waste to certified waste treatment or disposal facilities, either through their own means or by engaging certified waste collection services.

4. All waste generators are required to remit the designated fees to the local authority for the purpose of plastic waste management.

5. All event organizers who serve food in plastic at open spaces are required to properly segregate and manage the waste according to the Municipal Solid Waste (Management and Handling) Rules, 2000.

Compliance with Plastic Waste Management Regulations for PIBOs and Waste Generators

1. Producers are responsible for establishing, within six months, modalities for an Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) waste accumulation system. This system should involve the State Urban Development Departments individually or jointly through their distribution channels or the relevant local body.

2. PIBOS (Producers, Importers, Brand Owners, and Producers, Importers, Brand Owners, and Suppliers) have a crucial responsibility for the collection of used multilayered plastic sachets or pouches that are released into the market. It is necessary for them to establish an effective system to gather and manage the plastic waste resulting from their products. This comprehensive plan should be submitted to the State Pollution Control Board (SPCB) when applying for Consent to Establish (CTE), Operate, or Renewal.

3. Brand owners whose consent has been renewed before the release of these rules must provide a plan within one year of the rules' release date and every two years thereafter.

4. Production and utilization of non-recyclable multilayered plastic must be completely discontinued within a two-year timeframe.

5. Within a three-month timeframe from the official release of the regulations through the Official Gazette, the manufacturer is required to apply to the State Pollution Control Board (SPCB) or the State Pollution Control Board (SPCB) for the purpose of obtaining registration.

6. After six months from the final release date of such rules, it is prohibited for any producer to manufacture or utilize any plastic without registration.

7. Producers are required to maintain records of individuals involved in the supply of plastic-based raw materials to produce plastic sheets, carry bags, or multilayered packaging.

Key Takeaways

The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) is actively working towards a circular economy to address the environmental crisis from plastic waste and foster sustainable practices among Plastic Item-Based Industries (PIBOs).

An EPR certificate is a mandate across various countries. This reduces the excess burden on municipal bodies and local agencies for plastic disposal and recycling. Plastic waste management is becoming a challenge as plastic products are integral to everyday life. It is impossible to eliminate such products; thus, recycling items into new usable products is a better alternative.

The EPR certificate for plastic waste in India confirms that the organization or business meets all the requirements stated for EPR compliance. It states that the company is absorbing and recycling an equal amount of plastic it introduces into the environment. Achieving a circular cycle in the plastic economy is a requisite and needs to be taken seriously.

How to get an EPR Certificate?

As EPR has been made compulsory for all business types and sizes using plastic in any form, many organizations are joining the initiative. This has led to the need to standardize the collection and recycling process to ensure that the products received post-recycling are of high quality and can be used without any health hazard to the end consumer.

Any organization seeking an EPR certificate for plastic waste in India must fulfill the requirements and submit appropriate documentation. Below are some major points to be considered when applying for EPR registration with CPCB:

1. Details of the authorized person from the company, like name, registered address, contact details, fax number, e-mail, Aadhaar card, signature, etc., in JPG file format.

3. Udyam license.

4. CIN number.

5. Details of plastic products used and recycled by the company.

6. Sales report with the state-wise breakup.

7. Capital investment devoted to the EPR services in India.

8. Financial statements establishing the sales in KG or tonnes in the last two years of operations.

9. Detailed plan stating measures and processes followed for recycling plastic waste.

10. Documents stating compliance as per local and national laws.

A Brief Process for EPR Registration with CPCB.

To have a smooth registration process, every organization should first understand how to get an EPR certificate. Below are the steps a novice should consider:

1. Identify the government agency that deals with EPR in India:

EPR in India was introduced in 2016. Since then, the government has been transforming the policy to achieve the desired goals in plastic waste management.

A company that decides to begin with plastic recycling should first know details about the government agency that handles this segment. The central pollution control board decides and monitors EPR in our country. Making it to the CPCB EPR list before commencing with the recycling services is necessary.

2. Understand the requirements:

The CPCB has clearly stated the documents and information required for the EPR certification. It is vital to understand the requirements before starting the registration process. Hence, an in-depth study of the CPCB website is a must.

3. Gather the documents:

The government is strict and serious about EPR implementation and accepts applications that meet the criteria. So, the company should carefully gather the documents stated on the website and ensure that the information shared by them is true. Any inconsistencies may lead to the dismissal of the application.

4. Submission:

Details like waste recycling plans help CPCB to know if the company understands what EPR is all about and the legalities involved. Audit reports, financial statements, and legal documents are all part of the submission. The board evaluates the application and then issues the certification. Thus, transparency of each company detail is crucial.

Key Takeaways

It is quite significant to have an acquaintance of the needs stated by an EPR agency to qualify for EPR services in India. It is necessary to avoid any inaccuracies when applying for the EPR certification and registration. CPCB closely monitors every organization even after the certificate is issued and demands detailed reports confirming the successful implementation of EPR services. Attaining a circular cycle in the plastic economy is essential and requires to be taken seriously.

Unlocking the Health and Environmental Benefits of Filtered Water in Texas: A Comprehensive Guide

Introduction

Texas, with its vast landscapes and diverse population, faces unique challenges when it comes to ensuring access to safe and clean water. The state's climate, which can be hot and arid, coupled with its expansive urban areas, has led to increasing concerns about water quality and the need for filtered water. In this article, we will explore the benefits of filtered water in Texas, shedding light on the importance of clean water for the health and well-being of its residents.

The Importance of Clean Water

Clean water is a fundamental necessity for every individual, and it plays a critical role in ensuring public health and overall well-being. Texas, like any other region, is not immune to water quality issues that can affect the safety and taste of the water supply.

One of the major challenges in Texas is the presence of contaminants like lead, arsenic, and nitrates in the water supply. These contaminants can pose serious health risks, particularly for vulnerable populations such as children and the elderly. Filtering water is a reliable way to remove these harmful substances, ensuring that the water Texans consume is safe and clean.

The Benefits of Filtered Water

Improved Taste and Odor

Filtered water often tastes and smells better than unfiltered tap water. This is particularly important in Texas, where high temperatures can lead to unpleasant tastes and odors in the water. Filtering can help remove these impurities, making your drinking water more enjoyable.

Removal of Contaminants

As mentioned earlier, Texas faces challenges with contaminants in its water supply. Lead contamination, for example, can have severe health consequences, especially for children. Filtering water can effectively remove lead and other harmful substances, reducing the risks associated with consumption.

Healthier Skin and Hair

Filtered water can have a positive impact on your skin and hair. Unfiltered water often contains minerals and chemicals that can leave a residue on your skin and hair, leading to dryness and irritation. Using filtered water for bathing and washing can help maintain healthy and radiant skin and hair.

Environmental Benefits

Choosing filtered water over bottled water can have a positive impact on the environment. Plastic bottles, which are commonly used for bottled water, contribute to pollution and waste. Filtering your own water reduces the need for single-use plastics and is a more eco-friendly choice.

The Role of Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness, and Experience (E-A-T-E)

When considering the benefits of filtered water, it's crucial to rely on information that demonstrates expertise, authoritativeness, trustworthiness, and experience (E-A-T-E). The source provided in the URL above discusses alkaline water specialists in Florida, which, although informative, may not directly apply to the specific challenges of water quality in Texas. Therefore, it is important to cross-reference information with local, state, and federal agencies that monitor and regulate water quality in Texas to ensure accuracy and reliability.

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are reputable sources for information on water quality and safety in Texas. These agencies provide valuable data and guidance on the importance of filtering water, particularly in areas with known contaminants.

Conclusion

In Texas, the benefits of filtered water are far-reaching, from improving taste and odor to safeguarding public health. While seeking information on this topic, it is crucial to rely on sources that demonstrate expertise, authoritativeness, trustworthiness, and experience, and to cross-reference information with local authorities. By taking the initiative to filter your water, you can enjoy the many advantages of clean and safe drinking water while contributing to a healthier environment.

Dumpster Rental Made Simple: 7 Easy Steps for Guaranteeing Home Renovation Success

Waste management is often an overlooked element of home renovation projects, yet renting a dumpster is one way to ensure a seamless and efficient process.

Our comprehensive guide will walk you through seven easy steps for Dumpster Rental Carver MA for your home renovation project, from assessing your requirements to efficient waste management and best practices.

Assess Your Dumpster Needs

Before beginning the dumpster rental process, assessing your specific needs is essential. Begin by considering the scope and scale of your home renovation project; consider what waste will be produced; this assessment will enable you to select an ideal dumpster size provided from Dumpster Rental Company that satisfies these specifications - not too small to prevent overflow problems nor too large to incur unnecessary expenses.

Researching Dumpster Rental Companies

Explore your local options by searching for a suitable dumpster rental company. Check online directories, seek recommendations from friends or contractors, read customer reviews of different companies, and compare prices, services, and terms between them before making a final choice. Pay particular attention to any additional fees or restrictions that may apply, such as weight limits or restrictions on certain waste types - clarify all details before making a final selection!

Understanding Local Regulations and Permits

Before renting a dumpster, you must familiarize yourself with local waste disposal regulations. For instance, you must abide by each area's specific rules and guidelines. There may be restrictions on which materials can be disposed of or recycling requirements you must meet, permits for placement on public property or specific locations required, and so forth. Consult local authorities as needed for guidance and ensure full compliance with all necessary regulations, as failing to do so could incur fines or other penalties.

Scheduling and Delivery

Once you have selected a dumpster rental company, the next step should be scheduling its rental and delivery. Consider factors like the estimated length of the renovation and any possible delays when setting rental duration and pickup dates with them.

After completing your home renovation project and the dumpster, it is time to notify the rental company for pickup. Call them with the necessary details - like date and location - then ensure the area designated for retrieving is free from obstruction or debris that might hinder its retrieval process. Address any concerns or issues immediately with them so a smooth finalization of the rental process occurs and allows timely dumpster collection.
