Follow me along my mobile recycling route, spreading awareness about recycling, upcycling, tech and more.😎 ♻️💯 I post, timely educational, and sometimes funny content. 💯
Recycling efforts in the United States have grown and changed over the years, with recent state laws, private investments and technological advancements all making a mark on the country’s efforts to raise recycling rates.
Each year in America, approximately 74 million tons of food go unsold or uneaten, which is about 31% of all food produced, translating to 442 pounds of food waste per person annually. This food waste results in an economic loss of about $382 billion and contributes significantly to landfill methane emissions and greenhouse gas emissions. Another source estimates nearly 60 million tons of food wasted annually, accounting for almost 40% of the entire US food supply, roughly 325 pounds per person. Overall, food waste in the US is a massive issue both economically and environmentally, with hundreds of billions of dollars lost and a substantial environmental footprint.
Engineers at the Korea Institute for Machinery and Materials say they’ve cracked plastic waste recycling using plasma torch energy, pushing purity to a clean, lab-certified 100 per cent. 🇰🇷🧪🥼♻️
As the government shutdown — the longest in U.S. history — surpasses the one-month mark, some in the waste, recycling and manufacturing sectors say they’re concerned about key timelines for federal programs and services that affect their industries.
