  • What Is a Materials Recovery Facility? a Materials Recovery Facility (MRF
    What is a Materials Recovery Facility? A materials recovery facility (MRF) is a specialized plant that receives, separates and prepares recyclable materials for sale to end-user manufacturers. It is important that the materials which come out of the MRF are clean, properly sorted and relatively free of impurities. How It Works Step 1: It All Starts with YOU! You begin by preparing your recyclables (e.g., you rinse bottles and cans, flatten cardboard) and place them in the residential recycling bin at the curb. Step 2: Materials are Collected and Delivered to a MRF Recycling crews drive through your neighborhood and collect the materials. They transport the materials to a MRF where they are weighed and offloaded onto the floor. Step 3: Recyclables are Put on Conveyor Belts Commingled materials (i.e., steel cans, aluminum cans, plastic bottles, cardboard and mixed paper) are put onto conveyors that are used to transport the material streams inside the MRF. Step 4: Materials are Sorted The conveyors go past semi-automated sorting lines. In this process, workers remove debris and sort the materials by type. In addition to hand sorting, materials undergo both simple and complex automated processes. For example, disc screens separate fiber from containers and 2-D from 3-D materials. While an overhead magnet is used to remove steel cans from other recyclables. Step 5: Recyclables are Prepared for Transport Once recyclables have gone through all the necessary sorting processes, they are prepared for transport. Some materials (i.e., plastics, metal cans, paper, cardboard) are compressed into large dense cubes or bales.

  • Permaculture Principles
    An Introduction by Damian Mason “Permaculture is a philosophy of working with, rather than against nature; of protracted and thoughtful observation rather than protracted and thoughtless labor; and of looking at plants and animals in all their functions, rather than treating everything as a single product system.” - Bill Mollison Organic Gardening Sustainable Cities Native Plants Food Banks & Gleaning Aquaponics Programs Greywater Systems Animals & Bee-Keeping Natural Buildings Disaster Relief & Preparedness Farmer’s Markets Conflict Resolution Slow Food Solutions to Climate Community Gardens Change Eco-villages & Cohousing Bioremediation Social Justice Beavers are a keystone species that turn deserts into gardens and mitigate drought & climate change. Uses local material to build home & makes habitat for many others as well. Shares lodge in winters. Hydrology 101: Slow it, Spread it, Sink it Take care of the earth. Leave it better than you found it. Care for all people. Return the surplus so that all may get a Fair Share. The focus is on creating a synergy where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” By taking time to engage with nature we can design solutions that suit our particular situation. Example: Weed or medicinal herb? Consider a plant that, when used as a poultice, has the ability to radically speed up wound healing. When eaten they boost the immune system, while the seed heads produce the digestive aid psyllium husk. This remarkable plant is often found just outside of the back door. It is plantain, a plant we usually dismiss as a ‘weed’.

  • Using Contract Language to Improve Recycling
    DOWNSTREAM DUE DILIGENCE TO CREATE CLEAN AND MARKETABLE FEEDSTOCKS: USING CITY CODE AND CONTRACT LANGUAGE TO ACHIEVE RESPONSIBLE RECYCLING May 2020 This report is in support of King County’s Responsible Recycling Task Force, Task 5A, which explores using city code and city-hauler contract language to favor or require proper sorting, processing, and recycling of collected recyclable materials. Contract and code language should address all steps and parties in the material handling process including haulers, sorters, brokers, processors, and manufacturers who use recycled material. The report begins with a discussion of how we call out or identify proper recycling, some existing methods of codifying responsible recycling, general approaches for contract language, and some recommended sources for code and contract language. How Do We Know “Responsible Recycling” When We See It When we sort materials for recycling, we expect they will be processed in ways that conserve resources and protect human health and safety. However, different materials have different recycling pathways, which can change often. Markets fluctuate and brokers react. This makes it difficult to identify the final processor or end-user of a material, and therefore hard to assess if the process is environmentally and socially responsible. City codes and city-hauler contracts can be used to define proper recycling or specify environmental and human health practices necessary for proper recycling. Different cities and organizations use various strategies to identify and establish proper recycling outcomes: • Washington State’s Utilities and Transportation Commission (UTC) requires that “local markets” be used whenever possible. • Bothell’s Recology contract states that electronics & small appliance processors must be "fully-permitted and properly operated" and "legitimate".

The major customers include hospitals and restaurants chains. When the textiles are degraded and unsuitable for use, a part of it is acquired by companies, like, TAUKO Designs for further use. The rest part is unfortunately sent to the landfills. We tried to answer some research questions, whether the waste fabrics show the properties good enough to be used to manufacture new garments. If the prop- erties of the waste textiles are not conducive enough to be made into new fab- rics,whether or not other alternatives could be explored. A different view of the thesis also tries to reduce the amount of textile waste in the landfills by explor- ing different methods. This was done by characterizing the waste for different properties. The amount of cellulose polyester fibres was calculated along with breaking force and mass per unit area.

  • FAQ for Recycle Right
    FAQ For Recycle Right Why did the guidelines change for curbside recycling? Curbside recycling is facing a contamination crisis. Contamination is caused when people place materials in the recycling bin that do not belong. Recycling processors have a difficult time sorting out the trash, which makes its way into the sorted/bailed material that is sold to market. For a long time, China was the largest buyer of this material from the U.S. And because of increasing contamination levels, China made the decision to stop importing this material. This left the U.S. with an overabundance of recyclable commodities (re: bailed material) with a lot of trash mixed in. To address the contamination issue in Lancaster County, and ensure curbside recycling is sustainable, we went “back to the basics” with four material types that have a strong domestic market—meaning, there is a demand for this material by manufacturers in the U.S. We call these materials the “Big 4” and include: 1) corrugated cardboard (like shipping and packing boxes), 2) metal food and beverage cans, 3) plastic bottles and jugs with a neck, and 4) glass bottles and jars. Why are some materials allowed in the recycling bin, while others go to a drop-off location? In Lancaster County, we use a process called “single-stream” recycling, where residents can put all their approved recyclables into one bin. These materials are collected and taken to a materials recovery facility (MRF) where they are sorted, bailed, and sold to manufacturers, who turn them into new products. The sorting process is mostly automated, using various screens, magnets, and optical sorters to identify materials.
