There ought to be a law that if a #company creates product packaging that can't be #recycled, it has to take that packaging back free of charge and deal with it. #CorporateAccountability

• plastic manufacturing is a major contributor to #ClimateChange.
Quote: “If plastic products are unavoidable, they should be reused or repurposed until they can no longer be used – at which point they should be #recycled or disposed of properly.”
And, find ways to push for systemic change because we can’t do this alone.
#Solar panels have a lifetime of about 25 years. At the end of that, they can cause an enormous #waste problem, or they can be #recycled. Companies are springing up to recycle them into new PV panels.
There isn't that much waste material available now, but that will change soon enough, and make recycling more economically feasible.
Another attempt at making paper... it turned out really well. I made a larger 3D printed mold and deckle and experimented with adding in bits of shredded paper to the pulp. (See the post for more photos.)
NOT ACCEPTABLE! If #Microsoft is going to pull this kind of SHIT, they need to take care of all the #eWaste ! Or better yet, SUPPORT LEGACY PRODUCTS!!!
#Windows10 end of life could prompt torrent of e-waste as 240 million devices set for scrapheap

"As Windows 10 end of life approaches, analysts are concerned that millions of devices will be scrapped due to incompatibility
"Analysts have warned Windows 10 end of life plans could spark a global torrent of e-waste, with millions of devices expected to be scrapped in the coming years.
"Research from Canalys shows that up to 240 million #PCs globally could be terminated as a result of the shift over to Windows 11, raising critical questions about device refreshes and the responsibility of vendors to extend life cycles.
"A key concern highlighted by Canalys was Microsoft’s current practices regarding Windows 11 device compatibility.
"Minimum system requirements for installing Windows 11 on a PC mean users must have a processor of at least 1 GHz or faster along with a minimum of 4GB RAM. Storage requirements are also set to a minimum of 64GB.
"Many of the devices set for scrapping after the Windows 10 support deadline, set for October 2025, won’t meet these requirements despite being in 'good condition' and potentially #recycled [or repaired] by enterprises.
"The consultancy added that many of these 240 million devices will end up in #landfill."
