Operated through the partnership of TerraCycle Thai Foundation and the Department of Drainage and Sewerage (DDS), Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA), the Thai project has installed two ‘River Plastic Traps’ to capture waste from the stream. The collected waste is then dried and sorted for proper disposal and recycling with data being recorded for future use in raising awareness among community members and promote behavioral change as a sustainable solution. Nuntivat Thamhatai, Public Affairs, Communications and Sustainability Director of Coca-Cola (Thailand) Limited, said: “Driving partnerships that promote debris-free environment is one of our ‘World Without Waste’ commitments. Coca-Cola believes the biggest differences can be made when business, government and civil society with shared value join hands and work towards the same goal which is precisely the case with this project. While this is still relatively small-scaled, we certainly hope that it serves as the beginning of many great works to come, so that, one day, there will not be the need to install any River Plastic Trap in any canal or river.”

The Lat Phrao Canal in Bangkok, Thailand - along with the other eight sites from around the world - have been chosen for support under the Benioff Ocean Initiative at the University of California Santa Barbara’s Marine Science Institute with a total shared funding of $11 million over the next three years from The Coca-Cola Foundation.

Mom always kept a pair of brightly colored kitchen gloves by the sink when I was growing up. Made of latex or rubber, they protected her hands when she washed dishes with hot soapy water or scrubbed the sink with scouring powder. She also used kitchen gloves when she had to wash something with bleach or to wring out a dirty mop. She used them over and over until they got a hole, and then she would get a new pair. I always have a pair or two of kitchen gloves at home. Although I usually don’t use them for dishes, they are great for protecting my hands when I scrub a messy grill or pot. I keep a pair under the sink to wear when cleaning out the mop or scrubbing the tub with something abrasive like baking soda paste. And you can’t beat latex gloves for giving you a good grip when opening stubborn jar lids. Even when the gloves get a hole in them, they can still be useful. You can keep a pair in the car to wear when pumping gas or clearing snow from the windshield. Put a little duct tape over the hole and, although it’s not pretty, you will have a nice, watertight seal. I also keep a pair in the gardening bag I take to the community garden. I can easily rinse them off when they get too dirty.

A California Highway becomes the first state road made from all recycled materials in the U.S. California-based company, TechniSoil Industrial has created a process that integrates recycled plastic into road repaving. The process also incorporates 100% of the old asphalt, another aspect that saves on air pollution and landfill waste. The TechniSoil’s polymer-infused roads have also proved to be sturdier, flatter, safer, and more durable than those made with regular asphalt. This new repaving process using all recycled materials was first tested last month, replacing three lanes of 1,000-foot highway in Northern California highway, becoming the first state road made from all recycled materials in the U.S. Los Angeles plans to test out the TechniSoil repaving process on a quarter-mile stretch of downtown L.A. in October.

According to the brand, participants can request a free TerraCycle envelope to recycle their empty packaging.The envelope will arrive within one to two weeks, when customers can then fill it with their products and send with a prepaid return label. Jennifer Saul, senior vice president of marketing at C’est Moi said: Creating clean products with recyclable materials that have a thoughtful life cycle is a core pillar of our business. Recycling in the United States has never been simple. Most consumers do not know that recycling came to a screeching halt in January of 2018, when our country stopped shipping all trash, scrap and recyclables to China.

Keep Golden Isles Beautiful recently announced that the School Recycling Challenge will return this year. The focus of the annual challenge is to reduce landfill waste, and KGIB invites the public to support schools in the endeavor, which will last Oct. 5-16. “This year’s challenge again focuses on three items not accepted in our local recycling programs — oral care products, pens/highlighters/markers and cereal bags,” said KGIB executive director Lea King-Badyna. “By recycling these used items that are normally tossed in the trash, we are able to make an immediate impact on waste reduction.” Partners in education, PTAs, businesses and members of the public are invited to take part in the challenge, by collecting and donating the items to participating local public, private and home schools and institutions of higher education.
