#Construction Waste

[bone-weaver]

So much perfectly good scrap material gets thrown away during construction. Even like, unused nuts and bolts and random little hardware bits. Lengths of metal pipe that would cost real money if you tried to even get a sample of a similar material at a hardware store. Scraps of wood big enough to make something out of. Etc.

This is really upsetting to me because I know so much of this is just going into landfills and not long that—a lot of it is perfectly useable and stuff that crafters and artists usually have to pay money for!

Recently I have lowkey turned into a dumpster diver because there’s useable stuff thrown away in the big garbage bins in the construction zones of the library where I work. I’m a student and I don’t have money to buy materials for art projects!! Also I have an assignment at the library I work at to decorate our desks for holidays—however we have a budget of literally $0 so I have to use whatever random stuff is around. Even before this I once found this huge cylinder of construction-quality styrofoam that I’m making into a pretty cool little cushioned stool out of it.

TLDR: someone should start a system for construction zones to save useable scrap material and put it somewhere for poor local artists to sift through before it gets thrown away. It would help creatives save money AND keep a lot of construction waste out of landfills!

Demolition projects are crucial for urban development but generate significant waste. Proper disposal is essential for sustainability and safety. To minimize environmental impact, understand and segregate waste, prioritize recycling and reuse, handle hazardous materials safely, use certified disposal facilities, explore alternatives like incineration and composting, and educate all stakeholders on sustainable practices. In this article, we’ll explore the best practices to ensure environmentally responsible demolition waste disposal and contribute to a greener future.

CFlo Fosters Sustainable Practices at the Decarbonisation Business Charter Event

14 September, 2023

CFlo recently participated in the Call for Action Event II on the Decarbonisation Business Charter in Bengaluru, affirming its commitment to decarbonize the construction sector by 2030. Here, we firmly believe that businesses should flourish "because of" sustainability efforts, not "in spite of" them.

India's robust construction and real estate sectors offer a unique sustainability opportunity, with projections showing India becoming the world's third-largest construction market by 2025, contributing 13% to GDP and reaching a US$1 trillion market size by 2030. Nevertheless, the sector's current 25% greenhouse gas emissions contribution, is expected to rise due to energy demands and unsustainable practices,

presenting a pressing challenge. In response, a consortium comprising WRI India, Alliance for an Energy Efficient Economy (AEEE), Mahindra Lifespaces Developers Limited, and EcoCollab have launched the Decarbonisation Business Charter for the construction sector. CFlo proudly stands as one of the signatories of this charter, marking its active participation for the second time in driving sustainable transformation to support India's growth. Our dedication to advancing sustainability aligns perfectly with the spirit of the Decarbonisation Business Charter, and we are excited about the possibilities that await on this journey.

The Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) is backing key activities this year. The charter's successful implementation necessitates the entire building and construction sector value chain to decarbonize, encompassing emissions associated with the production, transportation, and disposal of building materials, as well as the construction of buildings.

It covers four key aspects:

Designing net-zero buildings

Construction and operations

Occupiers' perspectives

Material efficiency

The Sand Grains Foundation, CFlo's CSR wing, stands resolutely committed to achieving a net-zero carbon footprint by 2023. Their ambitious objective includes planting 25,000 trees by 2025-2026, a substantial contribution to combat climate change and promote a healthier environment. Additionally, they have devised comprehensive plans to implement sustainable office practices, endorse non-carbon energy sources, invest in rainwater harvesting and recycling initiatives, and enhance green spaces within their Kolkata premises.

Nitin Dubey, Chief Revenue Officer, served as the company's representative at the event, reaffirming CFlo's steadfast dedication to this important cause. He underscored the significance of this matter, stating “As a climate-conscious organization, we recognize the significant influence of the construction value chain and multiple stakeholder categories on the success of this business charter. Therefore, this charter represents a unique opportunity for us to collaborate with industry players in mitigating the climate crisis within the construction sector.”

CFlo regards its participation in the Decarbonisation Business Charter event as an exceptional opportunity to catalyse profound transformation, with a resolute focus on combatting the climate crisis within the construction sector. This commitment goes beyond mere words; the entire team is deeply engaged in actively working towards a greener and more sustainable future.

Lowkey one of my favorite parts of Barbie is that Allan is revealed to be an expert at hand-to-hand combat who is entirely willing to get genuinely violent, and then it is simply never discussed again.

Okay so… I’m definitely a couple years late to the “party”, but what exactly is the deal with the Decepticons who crashed on Earth being animal related?

They never mentioned being Predacons (cause I assume those are still a future thing) and Maximals are the Autobot adjacent animal-Cybertronian fused bots. I just assumed they were some kind of version of Beastformers, but I never recalled them mentioning anything. Because I feel like that could be at least mentioned in the TFWiki. So am I just left to assume that some Cybertronians are forged with animal attributes and some aren’t, and that the Alchemor was made specifically for the Decepticons who fit into that category?

I know that I might be reading too much into this but come on. Am I just not remembering when Fixit would say “Beastformer” —out loud specifically? Or do they just not say it so we’re left to assume that they’re directly coming from Cybertron? Because there is a planet in Transformers Lore (maybe not specifically Aligned lore but I wouldn’t know) called Jungle Planet, which had many different aliases, that had Transformers that took on animal attributes over time.

Maybe the writers wanted to keep on pushing the Decepticons=bad and Autobots=good agenda a bit further by just making the Cons’ Beastformers to label them as “animals instead of people”. And it’s already bad enough if you look at RiD15 as just Transformer copaganda in general.

I dunno. Five minutes into making this post I literally just went to TfWiki and read about IDW’s Jungle Planet, aka Eukaris, and lightly skimmed its lore and it made some sense. Not complete sense—some sense.

But that still doesn’t excuse why the Alchemor ONLY carried Beatsformers. Or was at least 90% Beastformers, I did see a few Vehicons—BUT MY POINT STILL STANDS! >:[

I honestly have a really good theory imo, but that’s for a separate post, and this one’s getting too long.

Well done Elon. I'm sure this was a great finding that couldn’t have been discovered any other way. Totally worth the hundreds of hours of work and billions of dollars spent on the development of your biggest toy thats now at the bottom of the ocean.

Well atleast we now know how Super Heavy+Star Ship flies with engines that got damaged during launch.

I know I look silly right now but after my first Fungal Wastes piece I immediately had ideas for a better one so here it is? I like this one more but I don't think it's quite the result I'd like yet. But we'll tbf, I have very little experience with backgrounds so these are good practice and a work in progress. 😊
