SHARE THIS ARTICLE Wind energy has become one of the defining pillars of the global energy transition. Turbines dot landscapes, both onshore and offshore, delivering clean electricity. Yet, as the first generation of turbines ages, a pressing issue looms: what to do with the blades when their operational life ends? Unlike towers or nacelles made predominantly of…
SHARE THIS ARTICLE Plastic is everywhere—but one wrong waste code can send your recyclables to incineration, trigger border rejections, or rack up regulatory fines. Understanding plastic packaging waste codes isn’t just smart—it’s essential to protect value, ensure compliance, and avoid costly mistakes. Plastic surrounds us. It wraps our groceries, cushions our deliveries, and protects industrial goods. In…
SHARE THIS ARTICLE Cardboard recycling may seem like a no-brainer—flatten, toss, repeat—but that familiar box has a secret. It doesn’t belong in the same pile as your office paper or yesterday’s newspaper. While both materials start from similar pulp, their afterlives depend heavily on how they’re sorted, handled, and treated. And if you think one-size-fits-all recycling is…
SHARE THIS ARTICLE Plasterboard recycling in Europe is a textbook circular-economy opportunity that underperforms. We know how to close the loop but we fail when materials arrive wet, mixed, or too far from a plant to make sense. The winners apply three rules: plan selective demolition, enforce quality specs at the skip, and design logistics around real…
EPS looks light, but the decisions around it are heavy. In Europe, a small slip on classification (naming the exact EPS type), paperwork, or densification (compressing foam to cut volume) costs time and money. This guide shows how to get recycling in Europe right and plan waste transport in Europe without any hiccups. When loads…
SHARE THIS ARTICLE Electronic waste grows faster than many expect. In 2022, the world generated a record 62 million tonnes of e‑waste, yet only about 22–24% was collected and recycled – with projections pointing to a further decline by 2030. This underscores a critical imbalance: consumption is accelerating, but our recycling systems are lagging behind. Europe, though…
SHARE THIS ARTICLE Europe generates vast amounts of industrial plastic waste. In 2022, the EU produced around 16.16 million tonnes of plastic packaging waste—an average of 36.1 kg per person, up by nearly 8 kg since 2012. Most of this was recycled (40.7%), but a significant share still went to energy recovery (35%) or was exported (about 1.3 million tonnes) due…
The use of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in Europe is skyrocketing, driven by electric vehicles (EVs), renewable energy storage, and portable electronics. This surge also means an inevitable flood of end-of-life batteries. In 2022 alone, the EU sold 244,000 tonnes of portable batteries and collected 111,000 tonnes for recycling—a collection rate of 46 %, almost double the…
SHARE THIS ARTICLE Waste management is the unsung backbone of modern industry. From the first moment waste is generated, each step—generation, collection, transport, treatment/disposal—carries specific legal, logistical, and environmental challenges. For waste producers, the threat of misclassification, illegal handling, or working with unlicensed carriers can lead to fines, criminal charges, or reputational damage. Collectors and carriers face…
SHARE THIS ARTICLE Waste management has evolved from being the overlooked backstage chore into a powerhouse of resource value. What was once seen as simple garbage is now a source of materials, revenue, and environmental protection. However, mishandling it brings serious risk: fines, jail time, ecological disaster, and lasting reputational damage. Thus, companies must face uncertainty wisely….
