LivingPackets, a startup focused on improving the future of packaging, has developed a Box that Is reusable.

LivingPackets estimates each box can complete 1,000 trips before being replaced.

The Box has an e-ink address display, so there’s no need to print shipping labels. And inside The Box is a mechanism that holds products in place, eliminating the need for bubble wrap or other wasteful packing supplies.

It also includes a tracking mechanism, so companies can track their products plus an electronic lock that can only be unlocked by the recipient.

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
