Today, less than 20 percent of the world’s silver supply comes from recycled sources — typically from discarded electronics, old jewelry, cutlery, manufacturing scrap and other industry waste. Once collected, recycled silver undergoes a refining process where impurities are removed, and the metal is recast to be used again.

Increasing recycled precious metals is a game changer.

Artist Builds a Realistic Dragonfly and Firefly With a Working Light Out of Scrap Metal and Electronics

I'm worried about electronic waste, e-waste recycling, and such loss of resources.

That's real. For what it's worth, I think it's something we're going to get a LOT better at. The raw materials - and even partially depleted materials that can be downcycled - are too valuable to be left forever.

Tip for anyone worried about e-waste or looking to be more environmentally conscious: Whenever I have something electronic that dies (this includes batteries, power cords, string lights, and vapes), I stick it in an out-of-the-way drawer, and then once every year or two, I bring it all to either an e-waste recycling place or an e-waste disposal place (which, my understanding is most e-waste disposal places do a lot of materials reclamation as well, though if I'm wrong someone please correct me). I just look online to find a place.

Sometimes it's a bit of a drive, but it's so worth it. I encourage others to do the same!

Anyway, here's some headlines about e-waste to hopefully lift your spirits:

^That's Western Australia, not Washington state.

I am going to use a universal save file link while i wait for a sfs account to upload - but for now all my build dls will be uploaded to this google drive. I will add the link to posts as well. Thank you for your feedback and patience! Happy Simming and back to building!

Rare earth metals are not as rare as their name suggests. However, they are indispensable for the modern economy. After all, these 17 metals are essential raw materials for digitalization and the energy transition. They are found in smartphones, computers, screens and batteries—without them, no electric motor would run and no wind turbine would turn. Because Europe is almost entirely dependent on imports from China, these raw materials are considered to be critical.

Lily Gladstone at the Met Gala 2024, wearing gown by Gabriela Hearst, and jewellery by Kiowa jeweler Keri Ataumbi.

At first, it seems a rather muted look for the Met Gala, but every detail has significance. Read the story in Vogue.

The gown and cape are embroidered with constellations of recycled silver stars.

“Our ancestors are in the constellations - we're star people.” Keri Ataumbi.

A simple, highly efficient, inexpensive, and environmentally friendly process could provide a viable pathway for the sustainable recycling of depleted lithium-ion batteries (LIBs): No chemicals beyond citric acid need to be added to leach out and separate over 99 % of the lithium, nickel, cobalt, and manganese metals contained in NCM batteries. The resulting recycled material can be directly converted into NCM electrodes, reports a research team in the journal Angewandte Chemie. From smartphones to electric vehicles, lithium-ion batteries are everywhere in our daily lives. They are also an important component of our transition to renewable energy, as they are used to store excess solar and wind energy and send it back into the power grid on demand. The downside is that their limited lifespan results in vast numbers of spent LIBs that contain dangerous heavy metals and other hazardous materials. In addition, metal resources are being depleted.

Some recycled bottle cap pins I made :)

The string ones were from some old thrifted curtains

[Image ID: 8 homemade pins. Five of them are bottle cap pins. One is a large green pin woh a white spiral, one is a large darker green pin with a sunflower, one is a smaller anarchy symbol, one is a red one with they/them pronouns written on it, and the fifth one is a skull with eyes. The last three pins are string tassels attached to safety pins. End ID]
