Delivered daily by 10 a.m., New York Energy is your guide to the day’s top energy news and policy in Albany and around the Empire State.
A message from New York Independent System Operator (NYISO):
Support for New York ISO carbon pricing proposal grows. An increasing number of organizations recognize this unique, market-based solution as a viable, scalable option for helping to reduce carbon emissions. The World Economic Forum recently published an article by New York ISO, CEO Rich Dewey, Putting a Price on Carbon Will Help New York State Achieve a Clean Energy Future.
The World Economic Forum, an organization for public-private cooperation, engages the foremost political, business, cultural and other leaders of society to shape global, regional and industry agendas. New York, the 11th largest economy in the world, recently enacted the United States’ most aggressive climate change legislation. The New York ISO’s proposal for carbon pricing would embed a cost per ton of CO2 emissions in the sale of wholesale electricity, creating a price signal for investment in new clean energy resources.

World Wisdom: Swiffer Recycling with TerraCycle
Swiffer Partners with TerraCycle on Recycling Program
Yes, there’s a way to recycle those Swiffer dusters, pads
As every consumer faces the rising costs of a shrinking market of what can and cannot be recycled, more manufacturers are stepping forward with programs of their own.
The latest is Swiffer, which has partnered with waste management company TerraCycle. The new Swiffer Recycling Program allows you to send in Swiffer mopping, sweeping and dusting pads as well as the dusters for recycling.
If TerraCycle’s name sounds familiar, that’s because last year it worked with Tacoma’s DaVita Kidney Care Center with its Kitchen Separation Zero Waste Boxes.
· The Swiffer program is the latest in its corporate recycling programs and its “recycle everything” promotions of free recycling programs funded by brands, manufacturers and retailers.
·
· The latest announcement is timely, given the recent headlines of local recycling fee increases and entities such as Goodwill struggling with their own recycling challenges.
According to Monday’s news release from TerraCycle announcing the new Swiffer program: “Once collected, the waste is broken down, separated by material and the plastics are cleaned and melted into hard plastic that can be remolded to make new recycled products.”
Once you’ve joined TerraCycle’s program, you can then collect the accepted Swiffer recyclables in a box at home and then mail in the waste using a prepaid shipping label.
There’s also the option, once signed up, to earn points that can be used for charity gifts or converted to cash and donated to a nonprofit, school or charitable organization of your choice.
