"Businesses like to talk about the concept of a closed loop or circular economy, but often they’re trying to close small loops. Releaf Paper takes dead leaves from city trees and turns them into paper for bags, office supplies, and more—which is to say they are striving to close one heck of a big loop.

How big? Six billion trees are cut down every year for paper products according to the WWF, producing everything from toilet paper to Amazon boxes to the latest best-selling novels. Meanwhile, the average city produces 8,000 metric tons of leaves every year which clog gutters and sewers, and have to be collected, composted, burned, or dumped in landfills.

In other words, huge supply and huge demand, but Releaf Paper is making cracking progress. They already produce 3 million paper carrier bags per year from 5,000 metric tons of leaves from their headquarters in Paris.

Joining forces with landscapers in sites across Europe, thousands of tonnes of leaves arrive at their facility where a low-water, zero-sulfur/chlorine production process sees the company create paper with much smaller water and carbon footprints...

“In a city, it’s a green waste that should be collected. Really, it’s a good solution because we are keeping the balance—we get fiber for making paper and return lignin as a semi-fertilizer for the cities to fertilize the gardens or the trees. So it’s like a win-win model,” [Valentyn] Frechka, co-founder and CTO of Releaf Paper, told Euronews.

Releaf is already selling products to LVMH, BNP Paribas, Logitech, Samsung, and various other big companies. In the coming years, Frechka and Sobolenka also plan to further increase their production capacity by opening more plants in other countries. If the process is cost-efficient, there’s no reason there shouldn’t be a paper mill of this kind in every city.

“We want to expand this idea all around the world. At the end, our vision is that the technology of making paper from fallen leaves should be accessible on all continents,” Sobolenka notes, according to ZME Science."

Mark van Kaathoven is a guerilla gardener who prevents green waste from going to the landfill. Instead, he uses it to make a vibrant sponge garden. He's only had four bags of green waste sent to the tip in the last 15 years.

An amazing fact

From "fermented poo" (methane) gas!

There is a lot of "electricity" to be made world wide!

Poo is very good at turning on the lights!

and by the way,

Mixed with green waste which has been "fermented"

A good source of safe "fertilizer" ... William

Eco-Friendly Waste Management: Embrace Sustainability with J&J Skip Bins

The Importance of Eco-Friendly Waste Management

As conscious consumers and responsible citizens, we have a vital role to play in promoting sustainable waste management practices. In today's world, where environmental concerns are at the forefront, it's essential to rethink our approach to waste disposal and embrace eco-friendly solutions that minimize our carbon footprint.

Proper waste management not only helps us protect our planet but also contributes to the overall well-being of our communities. By adopting green waste management strategies, we can reduce the strain on landfills, conserve natural resources, and foster a cleaner, healthier environment for generations to come.

Recognizing the significance of this issue, I've made it my mission to explore and advocate for sustainable waste management solutions. In this article, I'll delve into the benefits of using green waste skip bins and how J&J Skip Bins, a leading provider in the industry, can help us embrace sustainability.

Understanding Green Waste Skip Bins

Green waste skip bins, also known as eco-friendly or sustainable skip bins, are a game-changer in the world of waste management. Unlike traditional skip bins that often send waste to landfills, green waste skip bins are designed to divert as much waste as possible from landfills and instead, facilitate the recycling, reuse, or proper disposal of various waste materials.

These specialized skip bins are engineered to accommodate a wide range of waste types, including:

Organic waste (e.g., food scraps, garden trimmings)

Recyclable materials (e.g., paper, plastic, glass, metal)

Construction and demolition waste (e.g., wood, concrete, bricks)

Hazardous waste (e.g., paint, chemicals, electronics)

By segregating waste into these categories, skip bin hire geelong enable efficient sorting, processing, and responsible disposal or recycling of each waste stream.

Benefits of Using Green Waste Skip Bins

The advantages of using green waste skip bins extend far beyond simply disposing of waste. Let's explore some of the key benefits:

Environmental Protection: Green waste skip bins help reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills, thereby minimizing the environmental impact of waste disposal. This, in turn, preserves natural resources, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and protects the delicate balance of our ecosystems.

Resource Conservation: By facilitating the recycling and reuse of materials, green waste skip bins contribute to the conservation of natural resources. This circular approach to waste management helps us move away from the linear "take-make-waste" model and towards a more sustainable future.

Cost Savings: Proper waste segregation and recycling can lead to significant cost savings for both individuals and businesses. By reducing the amount of waste sent to landfills, you can often benefit from lower disposal fees and potentially even generate revenue from the sale of recyclable materials.

Compliance and Regulations: Many regions have implemented strict regulations and guidelines around waste management, particularly when it comes to the handling of hazardous and construction-related waste. Green waste skip bins help ensure compliance with these regulations, mitigating the risk of fines or legal issues.

Community Benefits: Embracing eco-friendly waste management practices through the use of green waste skip bins can have a positive impact on the local community. It promotes environmental awareness, encourages sustainable behaviors, and contributes to the overall well-being and livability of the area.

Volunteer Days at the Arizona Garden of Stanford

Green waste from the Arizona Garden is fair game for volunteers. (This article is from 2010, so contains irrelevantly outdated information.) Some gardens are native gardens. Some are wildflower gardens. Others are vegetable gardens, white gardens or rose gardens. There are really all sorts of gardens. Mine though is the only garden that I am aware that is described by some as a ‘felony…

This is an interesting idea and could definitely be useful for supplementing paper production and reducing deforestation.

However, leaf litter (the term for fallen leaves) serves a number of essential functions in ecosystems worldwide. Insects (including pollinators), fungus, microorganisms, other plants, and more all rely on the decomposition of old leaves for their nutrients and/or for shelter as part of their lifecycle. Once the leaves further decompose, they return nutrients to the soil and prevent it from becoming barren/desert land.

Leaf litter is NOT being wasted when it is left on the ground—it is sheltering insects and delicate plant roots from rain that would disturb the soil before becoming food for newly born/hatched organisms and ultimately restoring the deeper soil layers.

I would assume that the number of leaves needed to produce serviceable paper is quite high, so trying to mass produce it would require extreme quantities of leaf litter and could have disastrous consequences for a wide range of species for every location where it is collected.

If you want a sustainable paper source, look for recycled paper! It’s made from older paper and paper products (like cardboard) that were recycled after at least one previous use. It is far more sustainable and doesn’t require removing an essential ecosystem support.
