"The compost pile stands in productive contrast to a domestic order founded on the concealment of waste. We so rarely have to deal with our own shit, and this avoidance extends beyond sewage." @frasermacdonald for The London Review of Books

Tom's Hardware: Yesterday, Western Digital announced that it has created a large-scale hard disk drive recycling program in concert with Microsoft and recycling-industry partners CMR (Critical Materials Recycling) and PedalPoint Recycling. The new process reclaims Rare Earth Oxides (REO) containing dysprosium, neodymium, and praseodymium from hard drives, along with aluminum, steel, gold, palladium, and copper. The REO reclamation takes place completely within the U.S. and those materials go back into the U.S. market.

Dubbed the Advanced Recycling and Rare Earth Material Capture Program, WD’s initiative has already saved 47,000 pounds worth of hard drives, SSDs, and caddies from landfills or less-effective recycling programs. WD was able to achieve a more than 90% reclaim rate for REE and an 80% rate for all of the shredded material.

The drives came from Microsoft’s U.S. data centers where they were first shredded and then sent to PedalPoint for sorting and processing. Magnets and steel were then sent to CMR, which uses its acid-free dissolution recycling (ADR) technology to extract the rare earth elements.

Bytes Europe · Finland still burning biowaste despite recycling pushA significant portion of Finland’s biowaste continues to end up in mixed waste bins and is incinerated, according to national waste management experts. The Finnish Solid Waste Association (Kivo) has launched a new campaign urging the public to improve biowaste sorting. The organisation represents regional and municipal waste firms and says the focus is on increasing the use of biowaste as a raw material for fertiliser and biogas. Recent waste composition analyses show that 29.2 percent of mixed waste is still made up of biodegradable materials. In practice, this means that instead of being recycled, a large share of

The EU targets clothes and furniture in a crackdown on wasteful consumerism.

Textiles, furniture, tires and mattresses will be subject to much stricter design standards to ensure they last longer, as the EU aims to stamp out wasteful consumption, the European Commission confirmed on Wednesday.

Wenn Ihr Euren Joghurtbecher nur auslöffelt, statt in auszuspülen, darf er übrigens trotzdem in den gelben Sammelbehälter Eurer Kommune, Ihr habt ihn dann nämlich "bestimmungsgemäß entleert". #DeutschAmLimit

Pro: Spart Wasser.
Contra: Der gelbe Sack müffelt evtl. schon vor dem nächsten Abholtermin.
