La planta, un huerto vertical instalado en una antigua fábrica procesadora de carne funcionará a base de biogás generado por un digestor que capta el metano que se forma a partir de la basura orgánica. Diariamente se desperdician toneladas de comida, la mayoría proviene de restaurantes en casi todas las ciudades del mundo. Toda esta basura orgánica puede tener un mejor uso que terminar en un depósito donde se va a descomponer y emitir malos olores. En Chicago, John Edel, un ecológico emprendedor creó “La Planta” de cultivo vertical. Su huerto está instalado en el edificio de una antigua planta procesadora de carne, con la ayuda del estado de Illinois ha logrado transformarla e instalar un sistema de cultivo vertical sustentable que funcionará a base de biogás. Con la ayuda de varias empresas productoras de alimentos en Chicago puede recolectar unas 27 toneladas de residuos de alimentos al día, esto es un aproximado de 11.000 toneladas al año. El sistema… read more →
The most hazardous plastics and certain plastic bags should be banned by 2020, as part of an EU strategy to reduce plastic waste in the environment, says the European Parliament in a resolution voted on Tuesday. The EU should also introduce binding plastic waste recycling targets, MEPs add. The resolution, a call for action further to a European Commission green paper, was passed by a show of hands. In it, MEPs stress that plastic waste is damaging the environment due both to weak enforcement of EU legislation on waste and to the lack of specific EU laws on plastic wastes, despite their particularities. «Parliament has shown the way to deal with the huge problem of the detrimental impact of plastic waste on the environment and human health. We said today that we want to change bad habits and account for our products, from production through to final disposal. By putting these products to good use and recycling them as much… read more →
“Star-filled night” by Van Gogh is made of recycling materials by Bernard Pras. Beauty is skin deep. It is relative and so large that can be in any place, included broken pieces, already used clothes, used games, all depends on where you are and the perspective you have. For someone it is waste but for others it is a treasure. The French artist Bernard Pras uses waste as a raw material for his work. Bernard recreates famous pictures with waste in an amazing way. From far away you can see the perfect effect of brush-stroke that compounds the “Star-filled night” of Van Gogh but if differs from the original because lines are objects. “The Wave” of Hokusai is more impressive with hundreds of pieces that you can see how they form the sea foam. Pras uses all kind of recycling materials: parts of puppets, shoes, fried bags, color wires, and many others have sense in a different way when they… read more →
In 100,000 cell phones, it’s estimated that there is 2.4 kilograms of gold, more than 900 kilograms of copper, 25 kilograms of silver, and more. Depending on the market prices, that’s about $250,000 dollars worth of metals, spread in small amounts across 100,000 nigh disposable devices. To more easily recover those rare, expensive, or potentially harmful materials from cell phones and other forms of e-waste, researchers are looking for help from nature’s own decomposition specialists: fungi. The VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland has developed a biological filter made of mushroom mycelium mats that could recover as much as 80 percent Great negatively!

Según una investigación realizada por European Bioplastics se deduce que hasta un 10% de plástico compostable puede mezclarse con los plásticos convencionales en el proceso de reciclaje post-consumo, sin que se note de forma significativa en el rendimiento mecánico. En principio, los films plásticos biosados, de acuerdo con sus propiedades químicas, presentan idoneidad como material de reciclaje. Pero su composición debe estar diseñada para el reciclaje orgánico. Los resultados del estudio muestran que en los casos observados dónde hubo mezcla de material, no se apreciaron disminuciones en la calidad. Es decir, si trazas de plástico compostable se incorporan de manera accidental en el proceso de reciclaje de PE, esto no va a suponer un impacto negativo en la calidad de su flujo, según François de Bie (presidente European Bioplastics). Además, añade que el plástico compostable filtrado es más sencillo de darle una solución que otros residuos habituales en el flujo del PE Fuente: Izaro

Se ha instituido por Real Decreto el Registro Nacional de Huella de Carbono. Ha sido propuesto por el Ministerio de Agricultura, Alimentación y Medio Ambiente, y sancionado por el Consejo de Ministros. Para conocer mejor las acciones causantes de la emisión de gases de efecto invernadero, el registro hace posible controlar la huella del carbono como herramienta práctica para que las empresas puedan adoptar las medidas oportunas. Las empresas podrán registrar voluntariamente sus emisiones, de este modo, tendrán la posibilidad de tomar medidas que las reduzcan. Esta pensado promover masas forestales que absorban a forma de sumidero, el CO2. Es una manera de compensar el dióxido de carbono creado previamente. Esta iniciativa hará que España se acerque a las metas marcadas en When buying is stayed every payday loans cash loan no about deformed issues girls payday loans slc can!

European Parliament sanctioned some changes in the European Regulations nº 510/2011, on the 11th of May, 2011. Modifications include rules in the emission behavior that concern to light commercial vehicles. This approach is integrated in a part of the European framework and the goal is to reduce CO2 emissions. The objective is to get 147 g of CO2 in 2020 for emissions in light vehicles. There is an exemption in small producers. Greenhouse effect gas emissions are related to energy supply and production and deleting vehicles. They are the biggest emissions producers. In the future, we should take care about them more carefully. Therefore now, we should do actions that producer can guide their behavior looking for the optimal solution that contain measure that control greenhouse gas emissions in the energy production when they take a car, and also with electricity and alternative fuels. They should guarantee that benefits of energy saving are conserved.
Since 1990, Europe has increased glass recycling rate in 131%. Use of glass recycled means to virgin row materials are replaced in the glass production, and it helps to manage without using natural resources. Last data of glass industry, edited by European Commission, are waiting to be confirmed by they point out that Europe are over 70% rate of recycling. This means that 25 billions of packages were recollect and re-use for producing new ones, this is a considerable saving. Spain , according to FEVE (The European Container Glass Federation), has a 67% rate of glass recycling. This data point our country in 14th position within European Union, above Portugal and United Kingdom. Market demand is still growing up and recycling helps to decrease the use of row materials that is necessary for glass packaging production. Only Spain consumed 1.400.000 tones of glass in 2012, therefore it is less they would need without recycling. Between 1990 and 2012, consume of… read more →
Gas emissions of greenhouse effect that comes from food production make difficult to get climate goals of the United Nations. Technologic University of Chalmers (Suecia) research indicates that it will be complex to reduce increasing of global temperature until 2 ºC. The study show the food production causes gas emissions of greenhouse effect. Carbon dioxide that comes from energy and transport sector are the main pollution producers. If they reduce the emissions of these sectors, it won´t be enough to guarantee to be under the UN limit while agricultural emissions are still growing up because global consume of milk and meat is increasing. If agricultural emissions doesn´t have any treatment, nitrous oxide of the fields and methane of the livestock can double in 2070, and therefore it will provoke the goal was impossible to get. This research demonstrates that reduction in consumption is key for climate pollution gets save levels. Change in dieting is a way to be environmental friendly.… read more →
