Huixquilucan, se encuentra entre los tres primeros lugares a nivel estatal que ha apoyado la cruzada mexiquense a favor del medio ambiente “Reciclando con Causa”, por lo que se redoblarán los esfuerzos para superar las cifras este año; así lo dieron a conocer las autoridades municipales durante el arranque de la segunda etapa de ésta campaña.

En representación del presidente municipal de Huixquilucan, Enrique Vargas del Villar, la directora general de Ecología y Medio Ambiente; Erika Larregui Naguel, aseguró que el reciclaje es un tema central para la presente administración, por ello se han realizado acopios masivos de aparatos electrónicos, principalmente, con un total de 7 toneladas; así como la difusión de información para generar conciencia sobre el tema entre alumnos y vecinos de la localidad.

Pablo Fernández de Cevallos González, secretario del Ayuntamiento, destacó la participación de los estudiantes en proyectos de esta naturaleza, ya que son precisamente ellos, quienes pueden generar entre sus compañeros, amigos, familia y vecinos, conciencia sobre la relevancia del reciclaje y cuidado del medio ambiente.

El defensor municipal de derechos humanos, Mario Benito Fierro, recalcó la importancia de difundir entre los habitantes la campaña “Reciclando con Causa”, ya que tener un medio ambiente sano es fundamental.

Ante integrantes de la comisión edilicia de Derechos Humanos, presidida por Claudia Reyes Montiel, décimo segunda regidora; maestros y alumnos de la escuela secundaria 32 “General Santos Degollado” y del Colegio de Estudios Científicos y Tecnológicos del Estado de México, Carlos Ortega Vargas, representante de Baruch Delgado Carbajal, titular de la CODHEM, recordó la existencia de los 6 contendores para la recolección de las envolturas de productos alimenticios y de higiene personal, que se colocarán en las escuelas que deseen participar

Detalló que el material recolectado se entrega a la empresa TerraCycle, que lo cambia por puntos y éstos a su vez en dinero, el cual se utiliza para ayudar a personas de escasos recursos, que será al municipio que más haya aportado en la campaña “Reciclado con Causa”.

WINCHESTER – Winchester resident Prima Murdock is kicking off the new year with good habits and keeping snack pouches out of of landfills. Through a free, national recycling program in partnership with TerraCycle, sponsored by Entenmann’s Little Bites®, Murdock has helped the nationwide collection reach the milestone of two million snack pouches diverted from the waste stream. Along with keeping the pouches out of landfills, collectors earn points that can be redeemed for cash donations to the non-profit or school of the collector’s choice. Through the efforts of collectors like Murdock, donations have just passed $35,000. “I am just one person trying to do what I can to not contribute to the ever growing landfills and piles of trash I see created every day when so much can be recycled or repurposed or reused,” said Murdock. “With TerraCycle, there's nothing that can't be recycled.  That's why I think it's so important for companies to get in the game and fund programs such as the one Entenmann's is involved in, making it a little easier for the individuals/consumer to help out the planet but also not have to spend so much money doing it.” TerraCycle is an international recycling company that finds innovative solutions for materials not typically accepted at municipal recycling facilities. Through free recycling programs, participants collect waste and ship using a pre-paid shipping label to TerraCycle for processing. TerraCycle recycles the waste into plastic that can be used for products such as park benches, recycling bins and playgrounds. “The sustainability of our future and environment are so important for the children of generations to come. Entenmann’s Little Bites feels honored and proud to stand next to TerraCycle in such an important global issue.” – Kim Bremer, Category Director. The Entenmann’s Little Bites® Pouch Recycling Program is open to any individual, school or organization interested in reducing local landfill waste.

Dell is the latest company to turn ocean plastics into new products and packaging as businesses increasingly address the problem of plastic waste — and see potential in creating circular supply chains and using recycled materials. Dell today said it has developed the technology industry’s first packaging trays made with 25 percent recycled ocean plastic content. It is part of Dell’s goal of 100 percent sustainable packaging by 2020 and is a response to the growing environmental problem of plastics in the oceans. It also follows a slate of recent announcements from companies turning ocean plastics into new products and packaging. Last month Procter & Gamble, in partnership with recycling and environmental management companies TerraCycle and Suez, developed the world’s first recyclable shampoo bottle made from up to 25 percent recycled beach plastic. Also in January Unilever CEO Paul Polman called on the consumer goods industry to address ocean plastic waste and employ circular economy models to increase plastic recycling rates. Additionally, Adidas is working to solve the problem of plastic pollution in oceans by turning this waste stream into new material for its shoes. Dell’s new packaging consists of recycled plastics collected from waterways and beaches. The company will start shipping its new laptop in the ocean plastics packaging on April 30. In 2017, Dell says its ocean plastics pilot will keep 16,000 pounds of plastic from entering the ocean. Additionally, each tray will be stamped with the No. 2 recycling symbol, designating it as HDPE, which is commonly recyclable in many locations. Dell’s packaging team designs and sources its product packaging to be more than 93 percent recyclable by weight so that it can be reused as part of the circular economy. The ocean plastics supply chain process works like this: Dell’s partners intercept ocean plastics at the source in waterways, shorelines and beaches before it reaches the ocean. It then processes and refines the used plastics, mixes the ocean plastic (25 percent) with other recycled HDPE plastics (the remaining 75 percent) from sources like bottles and food storage containers. Finally, it molds the resulting recycled plastic flake into new packaging trays and ship the trays for final packaging and customer delivery. Dell’s pilot program, which the company says is also an industry-first, follows a successful feasibility study launched March 2016 in Haiti.

Hasta la fecha se han reunido 30 kilos de material, que se han enviado a la empresa Terracycle, una plataforma que ofrece distintos programas de reciclaje gratuitos, ha explicado la Universidad de Navarra en un comunicado. "Para llevar a cabo la campaña colocamos cajas para recoger el material en casi todos los edificios del campus. Después nuestra función ha consistido en vigilar el estado de las cajas y revisar que el material que allí se dejara fuera el adecuado para la campaña, ya que aunque la mayoría de la gente lo hace bien, en ocasiones encontramos material que no se puede reciclar", ha destacado una de las coordinadoras, Nora Escribano. En manos de la empresa de reciclaje, los bolígrafos,  rotuladores o subrayadores usados se han convertido en un dinero que los Voluntarios Ambientales han decidido donar a la Asociación de Esclerosis Múltiple de Navarra.
