From Gadgets to Garbage 📱🌍 🚫

62 million metric tons of e-waste in 2022 — and only 22% was properly recycled. The rest? Landfills, illegal exports, or lost forever. It's about responsibility and sustainability.

✅ Promote sustainable design + the Right to Repair
✅ Buy reused and refurbished
✅ Support ethical recycling

How do you approach this? Repairing more? Skipping upgrades? Buying refurbished?

Eine neue Studie für Transport & Environment zeigt, dass der Anteil von #Recycling-Stahl in Fahrzeugen bis 2030 auf 30 % und bis 2035 auf 40 % steigen könnte. Dafür braucht es verbindliche Ziele im Rahmen der End-of-Life-Vehicles-Verordnung der #EU. Das senkt Emissionen und stärkt die #Kreislaufwirtschaft.

oeko.deBoosting the use of recycled steel in the EU automotive industry under the ELV RegulationTo assess how to increase scrap-based steel use in the automotive industry under the proposed ELV regulation, T&E commissioned Oeko-Institut to conduct a dedicated feasibility study on steel recycled targets. Oeko-Institut was chosen as they had already carried out a study to support the impact assessment for the review of Directive 2000/53/EC on end-of-life vehicles in 2023. This briefing outlines the key findings from the study. It shows that setting steel recycled content targets (30% in 2030 and 40% in 2035) and recycled steel quality requirements are technically and economically feasible.

♻️ Hintergrund der Umfrage ist das EU-Projekt #SYSCHEMIQ. Es zielt darauf ab, regionale Akteure – von Wissenschaft über Industrie bis hin zur Gesellschaft – in einen systemischen Ansatz einzubinden, um die Herausforderungen im Bereich der Recyclingfähigkeit zu bewältigen und eine kreislauforientierte städtisch-industrielle #Kunststoffwirtschaft zu fördern.

#Colorado - #Libraries and the ‘economy of sharing’

An ode to the palace of the people

By Kaylee Harter - Apr. 9, 2025

"Visit one of BPL’s #makerspaces, a feature that’s become a staple in many libraries, and you can use #3DPrinters, #looms, #LaserCutters, #ScreenPrinting equipment and more.

" 'It’s a collaborative learning environment,' Farnan says. 'We’re learning together. If you were to go into the makerspace today and ask, like, ‘I’m thinking about doing this,’ then they would say, ‘I don’t know how to do that, but let’s figure it out.’

" 'That is inherently resilient.'

"He recalls a blind artist who came in with a unique challenge: 'She wanted to be able to see her drawings.'

" 'They worked with her with 3D printers, with the laser cutters and that kind of thing, in order to transfer her drawings into dimensional objects, because they were abstractions, so that she could then see them with her fingers.'

"Despite the always expanding array of programming and services, the books themselves — and literacy for all ages — are ever important."

It doesn't matter how vehemently or often or long something is said, if it aint so it is not so.

Here somebody with an actual brain and the career path to use that capability, lays it out : AGAIN.


It will not make one Nostalgic Nationalistic Nutjob of Nope2Woke difference, but at least it validates the truth _one_ _more_ _time_.
