recyclable? (1 Viewer)

[Splunk]

I always get a large bag of paper plates and plastic forks and knives, then throw them in the bin when I am finished. Saves the hassle of having to do the washing up.

Dont throw them in the bin. That only wastes binbags. Throw them in the hedge.

I have started taking a few paper coffee cup from work home with me for the walk to work in the morning.

Very happy with myself so I am.

Between this and your reuse of ancient threads you'll have the planet saved in no time.

ive had a few drivers not let me bring my hot coffee on beacuse i 'could scald someone'. even though it has a fucking lid on it and im not fully retarded

I've had that too in the past, it's the lack of consistency that's the worst part, some drivers allow it while some just want a moan.

Thousands upon thousands of euros are spent making sure a car seat can withstand a coffee stain. Its a wonderful time to be alive. Fuck those guys.

Jim Corr needs to edit that to ''..and stored my brain outside''

My thoughts exactly. Collins died so Irish men could take their coffees wherever the hell they wanted.

Is Jim Corr still mad or has he rejoined the rest of us on planet Earth?

they claim to be able to recycle pringles cans. i'd like to know how they do it; and whether in a lot of cases it uses more energy to recycle than the manufacture does in the first place.

well what happens is

The Pringles® cans are crushed and separated by their different components, as the components are recycled separately. The plastic lids are pelletized and the steel base is smelted. The cardboard, plastic and aluminium layer parts are separated through pulping so that the cardboard fibres can then be used for a new pulp. The remaining plastic and aluminium is pelletized. All materials can then be used in new products or applications

duh.


I imagine it's down to scale.

Aluminium would be splitting point there - it's something like recycling it is 10% the energy of making it in the first place, so there is markup on 2nd aluminium, especially if you've already sold it and can get people to send it back to you

ah yes, biodegradable. which possibly means biodegradable in sunlight, so OK if you stuck it on the roof terrace of your villa in the south of spain, but good luck if you stick it in your dark compost bin in ireland.

Everything is biodegradable, even Donegal.
