I've mentioned before that our neighbours are morons. I dread to think how many years they've lived here without quite grasping bin schedules and at some point, somehow, probably because they'd overfilled it, their recycling bin lost its lid. It's rained a lot recently and this is the state of their green bin right now. I've parked our car well away from the front of the house because they won't consider it when or if they eventually tip this over to empty it.

SUCCESSFUL GLASS RECYCLER ALSO BUILDS WETLANDS
🍾 Franziska Trautmann started a recycling facility in a backyard 5 years ago. Now she's Louisiana's biggest glass recycler.
✋ She has fought against the many obstacles that keep glass recycling in the U.S. to only around 30%.
🦉 The facility operates 3 days a week. Her team uses the other days, with some of their glass, to build coastal wetland islands. And wildlife is returning: Birds, gators, crabs, otters.

Die #Kreislaufwirtschaft wird für Unternehmen zunehmend zum #Wettbewerbsvorteil.
Durch clevere #Recycling-Strategien lassen sich Abhängigkeiten von kritischen Rohstoffen wie seltenen Erden verringern. Digitale Produktpässe sollen künftig Transparenz schaffen, erfordern aber bessere #Datenstrukturen. Wer früh auf zirkuläre Geschäftsmodelle setzt, kann nicht nur Kosten senken, sondern auch neue Märkte erschließen.

My brother-in-law and I worked on an upcycling project this weekend 📐. We turned an old bookshelf into a couch table. Honestly, the result turned out better than I expected. Look 😃!
