@Maker_of_Things @makershour A5 Modelling isn’t an essential activity in some ways so I do allow myself some treats for a hobby. For me doing my hobbies sustainably is about using scraps, not wasting any thing, doing as much by hand as possible - those sorts of things. #Reuse over #Recycle. Where I can I #Reduce the energy use of my crafting but as my craft room is unheated except for a wee electric fan heater I do use energy if I work in there in the winter 🥶.

Groundbreaking study makes huge discovery about recycled #lithium-ion batteries: ‘[This is] increasingly needed’
Brett Aresco
October 26, 2023
"As if you needed yet another reason to #recycle your #electronics with lithium-ion batteries, a study in the science journal Joule shows that recycled lithium-ion batteries may outperform their new counterparts.
"Working in tandem, a group of 27 researchers from institutions like the Argonne National Laboratory and the Brookhaven National Laboratory tweaked the composition of recycled lithium-ion batteries to see how they would perform. They achieved some surprising results.
"To reach their unexpected conclusions, the scientists behind the study made some changes to the cathode, which is the key —and most expensive — component within a typical lithium-ion battery.
"Rather than melting down the entire used battery (as most other recycling processes do), the team was able to salvage the cathode and merely change its structure, resulting in better performance than even a new battery can offer.
:Kang Xu, a U.S. Army Research Laboratory scientist unaffiliated with the study, told Scientific American that the research team’s results were 'very unique and very impressive.' The study’s findings also have the potential to be combined with similar research involving recycled anodes, the counterparts of cathodes.
"In a 2022 study from Rice University published in the journal Advanced Materials, for instance, scientists were able to 'quickly regenerate graphite anode materials found in lithium-ion batteries, removing impurities so they can be used again and again.' [However, where will the 'impurities go? Always consider potential waste sources!]
"Improved lithium-ion battery recycling will not only help the environment and consumers but businesses as well.
"'Battery manufacturers want to know that recycled cathode materials are not inferior to new cathode materials,' said Yan Wang, a scientist from the Worcester Polytechnic Institute who contributed to the Joule study. 'This research shows that recycled materials can electrochemically match or outperform pristine, state-of-the-art cathode materials from tier 1 suppliers.'
"Beyond losing valuable materials and structures that could be reused, failure to recycle lithium-ion batteries can have disastrous consequences.
"In 2017, USA Today reported that 65% of fires at California waste management facilities were caused by discarded lithium-ion batteries. And yet, people can’t seem to stop trashing them: In early February, a garbage truck in Columbus, Ohio, caught fire because a careless consumer threw out their laptop.
"The question of how to make lithium-ion battery recycling profitable has long vexed companies, governments, and #environmental advocates.
"'Economically viable electric vehicle lithium-ion battery recycling is increasingly needed,' a 2021 paper in the journal iScience concluded. 'However routes to profitability are still unclear.' [IT'S ALWAYS ABOUT THE PROFIT, EH?]
"This study has the potential to change that paradigm entirely.
'This work,' the authors write, 'proves that recycled materials could potentially be reused in new batteries and the profitable recycling process could be realized.'
"Luckily, there are a number of startups, like #Germany’s #Tozero and #Canada’s #LiCycle, that are committed to making lithium-ion battery recycling mainstream. With any luck, they will be able to incorporate the lessons learned from this latest study, and more consumers will be willing to give their old batteries another chance."

Recycled Colourful Lamp.
Everything in this was recycled bar the filament for the printed parts and the WS2812 LED ring.
The glass is vintage, procured from a local junk shop. The ESP controller is stripped from a disused project. The glass disc, motor and gearbox that provide the wave effects that the camera fails to appreciate are pulled from a cheap USB light toy. The power cable is from an dead external CD-ROM drive.
The sad part of this project is the glass fixture came with a Philips Wiz fancy wifi RGBWW lamp, which would have been quite handy. But the ESP32-C3 that runs the lamp was encrypted and the efuses burnt, so it wasn't possible to reprogram it. Born ewaste, held together with glue and designed to discourage reuse.

Much of the material used to make paper towels comes from Canadian boreal #forests.
Consider switching to cloth - cloth rags do a better job of mopping up spills, etc.
The same resources probably go into toilet paper too -- and there are reusable cloth pee-wipe alternatives for this that can #reduce overall use of TP.

@CelloMomOnCars @Streetsweeper @breadandcircuses and what we really need to start discussing is how we can provide for that "23% "Other" category" with minimal continued fossil C extraction.
Is there enough available biomass or will we devastate natural ecosystems if we say "oh, we can use nature based materials"?
Can we use CCSU strategies to process DAC captured CO2 to useful feedstock for that other?
Can we change our consumption of goods, and look at a closed loop system of reuse/recycle/ reprocess?
Who's working on this?

Reuse, recycle hint to gardeners in NZ. The paper/plastic that is attached to your Rego and RUC cards, and the cards themselves after used, can be cut into strips and make great tags for seed containers. They last for years and the sharpie ink mostly fades in time for the following year.

Considered buying a desktop PC (except, I dislike Windows) but upon reflection, just upgraded my eight year old PC. Quality second hand PSU sourced from my cupboard, new SSD (spare 1TB 860 EVO) more RAM (now 16GB) sourced from spare near identical PC in shed, new OS (Linux Mint 21) & hey presto! She's a ripper. Total cost? Nothing. Saving? About $2000. Running so cool, too.
Yesterday I washed, line-dried and ironed a piece of cloth that was once a 100 pound flour bag. No idea how old it is, but is probably 70 years old or more and was in great shape. Flour bags were used for many things in rural #PEI including pillow cases, tea towels, quilting, and even underwear! You can see where the thread or string had been removed, and it would also have been carefully saved and used again. Nothing wasted, resources valued and reused. Good message for us now. #reuse #recycle

@MissingThePt doing my part by boosting this #recycle
This is why #recycling is at the bottom of the #ZeroWaste hierarchy, after:
#Rethink (can we design waste out of the system?)
#Refuse (we can’t waste it if we don’t bring it home)
#Reduce (can we make do with less?)
#Reuse (ban ‘single use’)
#Repurpose (can it be used for something else?)
#Repair (what if we fixed it instead of throwing it away?)
Only then, if we can’t do any of those things, we should #recycle to recover the materials.

"The plastics industry has long hyped recycling, even though it is well awarethat it’s been a failure. Worldwide, only 9 percent of plastic waste actually gets recycled. In the United States, the rate is now 5 percent. Most used plastic is landfilled, incinerated, or winds up drifting around the environment."
