Taking the stink out of organic waste disposal

Green Eco Technologies began in the UK in 2016, but later moved to Australia and has been manufacturing here since July 2021.

GET removes about 80 per cent of the volume from organic waste using heat of 50 to 60 degrees Celsius, air, and a “Mixed Ion Reactive Approach”.

Radicalised oxygen molecules kill off microbes to remove pungent smells, breaking down organics at the cell level to turn them into a kind of nutrient and calorie-rich compost. This can then be diluted as a soil improver or fed into an anaerobic digestor to make biogas.

The Uber of Waste goes National

A 2023 start-up aiming to make recycling convenient and accessible to all is about to go national. The aim is to provide people with a home pick-up option for some of the "trickier" items the normal recycling bins can't handle - including soft plastics. https://wastemanagementreview.com.au/recyclesmart-goes-national/

Magnetic Attraction: Microplastics

A Kyushu University study (2021) estimated there were 24.4 trillion pieces of microplastics in the world's upper oceans or roughly 30 billion 500-ml plastic water bottles. Microplastics are tiny, toxic and very hard to remove from the environment. But researchers in the US have discovered that some Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents (NADES) can attract and bind microplastics, making it easier to remove them from the environment. And the N in NADES is key - natural - in this instance, think extracts from plants. https://www.research.uky.edu/news/researchers-develop-eco-friendly-magnet-battle-microplastics
