Ireland: IBEC welcomes increase in WEEE recycling
20/07/2006
(ibec.ie)
The business and employers group IBEC welcomed the statement from the
Minister for Environment, Heritage and Local Government showing a
five fold increase in the recycling of electrical and electronic
goods since the scheme came into force in August 2005.
Head of IBEC Environment Unit Donal Buckley said: ‘Two million items
were collected and recycled between August 2005 and May 2006 by the
two authorised producer compliance schemes, WEEE Ireland and ERP
Ireland. This is the equivalent of five kettles for every man, woman
and child in the country. Current recycling rates of old electrical
items (on a per capita basis in Ireland) is 6.7 kg – well in excess
of the 4kg target set by the EU in the WEEE Directive but below the
15kg - 25kg produced by each person annually.
Old tyres banned from landfill
17/07/2006
(edie.net)
As of Sunday, July 16, used tyres can no longer be landfilled, meaning
a boost to the already healthy market for recycling the rubber.
Old tyres are now banned from landfill. The new rules come as part of
the EU's Landfill Directive, which will see a ban on dumping used
tyres across the whole of the union.
Whole tyres have been banned from landfill since 2003 but now it is
no longer legal to shred and dump.
Rubberized Asphalt Bound for Some California Roads
12/07/2006
(recyclingtoday.com)
Recycled tires are being used to repave some streets and sidewalks in
Los Angeles County with funding from the California Integrated Waste
Management (CIWMB)-approved Targeted Rubberized Asphalt Concrete
Incentive Grants, according to a report in the Whittier Daily News
(Whittier, Calif.).
According to the report, 20 grants totaling more than $3.1 million
have been allocated since January to local governments in Fresno and
L.A. counties.
The new roads save up to $20,000 per lane mile and use up more than
2,000 scrap tires over the same distance, according to the report
Switzerland moves towards PET bottle tax
12/07/2006
(endseuropedaily.com)
Switzerland’s environment agency is to start drafting a tax on PET
drinks bottles, it announced on Monday. The "prepaid disposal
charge" will be implemented unless industry can overcome financing
problems. Some 15% of the retail market is still outside the main
voluntary collection system, thus depressing recycling rates and
raising costs. The agency announced its intention despite reporting
that PET bottle recycling finally reached a legal target of 75% in
2005. The target continued to be easily exceeded by glass bottles
(95%) and aluminium cans (90%).

Europe approves Battery Directive
11/07/2006
(letsrecycle.com)
MEPs formally approved Europe's new Battery Directive, which will
require the setting up of new collection and recycling schemes for
batteries by 2008.
Only six EU countries currently have collection schemes for recycling
batteries, but under the new Directive, all European Member States
will be expected to meet collection and recycling targets set for
2012 and 2016.
'Green' incineration claims misleading
07/07/2006
(Friends of the Earth)
The independent study, conducted for Friends of the Earth, shows that:
1- waste incinerators that generate electricity emit a third more
greenhouse gases for the electricity they produce than gas fired
power stations [3].
2-The situation will get worse in the future, as power generation
from gas (and even coal) becomes more efficient, whilst carbon
dioxide emissions from incinerators are predicted to increase due to
a higher percentage of fossil-fuel containing plastics in the waste
they burn.

Questions & Answers on EU Policies on Electrical and Electronic Waste
06/07/2006
(European commission)
Questions & Answers on EU Policies on Electrical and Electronic Waste
1) What is the problem with electrical and electronic waste?
Electrical and electronic waste (WEEE) is the term used for waste
from a huge spectrum of products using electricity. They include
small and large household appliances, IT and telecommunications
equipment, lighting equipment, and consumer goods such as radios, TV
sets, video cameras and hi-fi systems...
Pelletisation Fuel Production System
A UK company specialising in the waste processing and renewable energy sectors has developed a fuel production system that can utilise a sawmill's sawdust and slab wood (not bark) to produce waste into a commercial product. They are looking to joint-venture with medium to large sawmills based in the Baltic States and other Eastern European countries.
(Ref: 06 GB SWRD 0FI4 - 13/07/2006)
New process for destruction of organic wastes and animal flours
A French laboratory has developed a new process for oxidative destruction of organic wastes. It is a low-temperature wet process that can be successfully applied to animal by-products. A patent has been applied for, and the lab is interested in license agreements.
(Ref: 06 FR FMMT 0FCT - 12/07/2006)
Advanced Waste Processing and Separation System
A UK company specialising in the waste processing and renewable energy sectors has developed an advanced waste processing and separation system. The system produces low-cost, clean and higher-quality fuels. The company is looking for partners for construction and operational joint venture agreement with interests in sharing development work for appropriate sites.
(Ref: 06 GB SWRD 0FOO - 10/07/2006)
The first 100% recyclable PET bottle
A small Italian company has developed a plastic bottle, 100% recyclable PET, particularly for mineral water or similar drinks, and the method for its manufacture and packaging. The entire bottle, including the cap, is made of the same material. Paper labels are replaced with surface deformation and laser-moulded labels directly on the plastic. The bottles are stackable, which makes them easy to store. The company is looking for companies interested in a license agreement
(Ref: C21-TO-02 - 07/07/2006)
New process for the recycling of exhaust alkaline batteries
An Italian academic research group developed a new process for the recycling of alkaline batteries. The process here proposed is zero-waste and environment-friendly. It recovers all the materials from used batteries and it recycles all the reagents inside. Zinc and manganese can be regenerated in marketable form. Alternatively the recovered materials can be used to reassemble new batteries. Collaborations are sought to reach the market.
