 From Trash to Treasure: The Art of Conscious Living Through Recycling, Reusing & Kitchen Garden MagicJoin us on a transformative journey that proves sustainability isn't just about saving the planet—it's about reconnecting with the natural cycles of life right in your own home. In this enlightening episode, we explore the profound practice of giving new life to what others discard, turning everyday "waste" into abundance.Discover the Magic of Kitchen Scrap GardeningEver thrown away the end of a green onion, the base of celery, or the top of a carrot? What if we told you these "scraps" hold the power to become thriving plants on your windowsill or in your garden? We'll guide you through simple, accessible techniques for regrowing vegetables from parts you'd normally toss—including lettuce hearts, herb stems, potato eyes, ginger root, garlic cloves, and so much more. No fancy equipment needed, just water, soil, sunlight, and a little patience.You'll learn which vegetables regrow fastest (hello, green onions in just days!), which ones provide the most rewarding harvests, and the meditative joy of watching life regenerate from what seemed "finished." This practice isn't just practical—it's a daily reminder that nothing is truly waste, everything has potential, and nature's generosity is limitless when we pay attention.The Deeper Practice of Reuse & RecycleBut this episode goes beyond gardening tips. We explore the spiritual dimension of conscious consumption—how the act of reusing and recycling becomes a meditation on abundance versus scarcity, gratitude versus entitlement, and our intimate relationship with the Earth. When we choose to repair rather than replace, to repurpose rather than discard, we're making a statement about our values and our place in the web of life.We'll share creative ideas for transforming household items into new treasures: glass jars becoming planters or storage, old fabrics finding new purpose, composting as a sacred return to the soil, and the revolutionary act of simply buying less while appreciating more.A Barefoot Approach to Environmental StewardshipThis is sustainability stripped of guilt and preachiness—just practical wisdom, inspiring stories, and the gentle reminder that small, consistent actions create profound change. Whether you're a seasoned eco-warrior or just beginning to question your relationship with consumption, this episode offers accessible pathways to living more lightly on the Earth while growing more abundance in your life.Perfect for anyone who wants to reduce their environmental footprint, save money, reconnect with natural cycles, or simply experience the quiet miracle of watching a carrot top sprout new green life in a dish of water on their kitchen counter.Join us for this grounded, inspiring conversation that proves enlightenment isn't just about meditation cushions and mountaintops—it's also about dirt under your fingernails and the joy of creating something from "nothing."Would you like me to adjust the tone, length, or focus of this description?

California's water system was built for a wetter century—and now the state is racing to turn wastewater into a reliable part of its supply portfolio. In this episode, Joaquin Esquivel, chair of the California State Water Resources Control Board, breaks down where water reuse fits in California's long-term strategy, and what it will take to scale it safely and affordably. The conversation spans the state's role as both regulator and funder, including the adoption of direct potable reuse regulations, the safeguards designed to protect public health, and the need for “regulatory certainty” that helps projects move from concept to construction. Esquivel also shares the numbers behind California's current reuse footprint—roughly 750,000 to 800,000 acre-feet annually—and the state's goals to expand that supply in the coming decades while balancing discharges needed for instream flows. The episode tackles the “yuck factor” head-on, explaining why monitoring, testing, and transparent communication are essential to maintaining trust as systems move toward direct connections. And it spotlights a looming constraint few people see coming: a major wave of retirements that could reshape the water workforce just as advanced treatment becomes the new normal.This episode is part of The Golden State of Reuse, a series exploring the past, present, and future of water recycling across California.The series is a collaboration with WateReuse California and sponsored by CDM Smith.The series is also supported by the Sacramento Area Sewer District, Black & Veatch, and Monterey One Water.waterloop is a nonprofit news outlet exploring solutions for water sustainability.

The global ship recycling market saw another shift in Week 7 of 2026 as key fundamentals moved in different directions across the sub-continent. The Baltic Dry Index declined by 0.6 percent, mainly due to weaker Capesize and Panamax performance, while Supramax rates improved. Oil prices held near USD 62.8 per barrel as markets continued to monitor U.S. and Iran tensions. In this week's episode, Ingrid and Henning discuss how the U.S. Dollar strengthened against most recycling nation currencies, with India being the exception as the Rupee improved to around INR 90.6. Steel plate prices reversed course in India, falling nearly USD 10 per ton, while Pakistan maintained the strongest fundamentals in the region with plate prices holding near USD 594 per ton. Bangladesh reached a political milestone as the BNP secured a more than two-thirds majority in the general elections. The result is expected to support long-delayed infrastructure projects and could improve domestic steel demand in the months ahead. The country also adopted the International Ready for Recycling Certificate framework, aligning with regional compliance requirements under the Hong Kong Convention. Steel plate prices in Bangladesh remained flat near USD 494 per ton, while the Taka weakened slightly. Pakistan continued to lead pricing tables, supported by firm steel levels, stable currency performance near PKR 279.6, and rising anchorage activity totaling nearly 30,000 LDT across multiple bulk carriers. India's anchorage activity also remained active with more than 47,000 LDT present, despite softer steel prices. Turkey remained quiet, with limited activity in Aliaga and the Lira weakening toward TRY 44. This episode covers demolition pricing direction, steel and currency movements, port activity in Alang, Chattogram, and Gadani, and the ongoing shortage of recycling candidates. The discussion is intended for shipowners, cash buyers, recyclers, brokers, and maritime professionals following developments in the global demolition market

Debt recycling can be powerful, but the details matter. In this listener Q&A episode, Hayden and Dave tackle common questions on debt recycling and investing mechanics, including when to invest, how to place orders, and how to stay on the right side of the tax rules.They break down practical scenarios listeners are facing and explain the trade-offs between simplicity, optimisation, and risk.In this episode they cover:

New York city's eight million residents are known for staying busy, but with the abundance of people comes plenty of waste and the need to recycle.纽约市八百万居民以忙碌著称，但人口众多也带来了大量垃圾和回收需求。Compliance is a big challenge, and in a city as diverse as New York, it's always been a challenge.合规是个很大的挑战，在纽约这样多元化的城市里，这一直都是个难题。New York city produces a 12,000 tons of waste each day, but manages to recycle just 17% of it.纽约市每天产生12000吨废物，但却只能回收其中的17%。There's no city in the United States that is winning with recycling right now.目前，美国没有一座城市在回收利用方面做得很成功。It turns out that it's become a money loser for municipalities around the country, and in the past they'd actually been shipping it abroad to be dumped.结果全国各地的市政当局都在往里砸钱，而过去他们实际上一直将其运往国外倾倒。In the past companies that recycle plastic, paper, glass and metal would pay municipalities for their trash.以前，回收塑料、纸张、玻璃和金属的公司会向市政当局支付垃圾处理费用。More recently the cities started paying the companies to pick up their material,最近，城市开始向这些公司付费，让他们回收材料，sometimes hauling the trash far away before dumping it, worsening its environmental footprint.有时这些公司会把垃圾运到很远的地方再倾倒，这进一步加重了对环境的影响。Now both municipalities and business owners have started to adapt.现在，市政当局和企业主都开始适应。This new facility one hour south of New York city hopes to divert more trash through its doors.这座位于纽约市以南一小时车程的新设施希望能回收更多垃圾。When things get handled many times and there's a lot of waste in the stream, it becomes more costly for the community to recycle.当垃圾被多次处理且流程中存在大量浪费时，社区回收的成本就会变得更高。The building with state-of-the-art optical sorters, screening and sizing means less wasted labor and material.配备先进光学分选机、筛分和尺寸分级系统的建筑减少了劳动力和材料的浪费。We project a savings to the taxpayers and municipalities of Monmouth County of over 2 million dollars in our first year.我们预计第一年为孟莫斯县的纳税人和市政当局节省200多万美元，But municipal solid waste accounts for no more than 3% of the nation's waste stream.但城市生活垃圾在全国垃圾总量中的占比不超过3%。Experts say making headway in recycling more agricultural, industrial and electronic waste could require more investment from the companies that manufacture the products.专家表示，要在农业、工业及电子废弃物回收领域取得进展，可能需要产品制造商加大投资力度。If corporate powers were willing to take responsibility for the end result of the materials that they put into the marketplace,如果企业权力机构愿意为其投放市场的产品原料的最终结果负责，so that their relationship to the market and to us as consumers would be more of a circular model instead of a linear model. That would be a really big step.这样他们与市场和消费者之间的关系将更趋向于循环模式而非线性模式。那将是非常重要的一步。If we aren't focusing on leaving the world either equal to when we started or better, then we are not doing a service to our children and future generations.如果我们不注意让世界变得和我们开始时一样或者更好，那么我们就是在辜负子孙后代。Local governments are still adjusting to the loss of China as the country's preferred recycler.地方政府仍在适应失去中国这一首选回收国的局面。But experts say they expect a renaissance of recycling in the coming years, with new policies and technological advances that turn more trash into a useful resource. 但专家表示，他们预计未来几年回收利用将迎来复兴，新政策和技术进步会将更多垃圾转化为有用资源。

Was Sie erfahren: Warum Elektromobilität das bestehende Ökosystem fundamental verändertWelche Rolle Batterie-Management für Restwerte und Wirtschaftlichkeit spieltWarum längere Laufzeiten und Multicycle-Modelle an Bedeutung gewinnenWelche strategischen Herausforderungen chinesische Hersteller im europäischen Markt habenWie Software Produktionskosten, Servicequalität und Kundenerlebnis beeinflusstWelche neuen Kompetenzen (Chemie, IT, Datenanalyse) im Mobilitätsumfeld erforderlich werdenWarum Unternehmen heute parallel operativ handeln und strategisch neu bauen müssen Im Interview: Dr. Markus Collet Das Thema Elektromobilität, Software und das Batterie-Ökosystem – strategische Implikationen für Fuhrpark & MobilitätDie Elektrifizierung von Fahrzeugflotten ist weit mehr als ein Technologiewechsel. Im Gespräch mit Dr. Markus Collet, Partner und Leiter der Auto-Mobility-Plattform bei Corporate Value Associates**, wird deutlich: Elektromobilität verändert das gesamte Ökosystem der automobilen Wertschöpfung – von der Produktion über Finanzierung und Leasing bis hin zu After Sales, Restwertmanagement und Recycling.Während Elektrofahrzeuge bislang häufig als „ergänzende Technologie“ betrachtet wurden, rückt mit zunehmender Marktdurchdringung die wirtschaftliche Tragfähigkeit in den Fokus. Hersteller und Leasinggesellschaften müssen künftig nicht nur Fahrzeuge produzieren, sondern profitabel betreiben, servicieren und im Zweit- und Drittzyklus managen.Ein zentrales Thema ist dabei die Batterie. Sie ist kein klassisches mechanisches Bauteil, sondern ein chemisches System – mit entsprechend neuen Anforderungen an Know-how, Bewertung, Wartung und Restwertprognose. Gleichzeitig entstehen neue Geschäftsmodelle rund um Second Life, Recycling und Multicycle-Nutzung.Ein weiterer entscheidender Faktor ist Software. Sie entwickelt sich zunehmend zum Differenzierungsmerkmal zwischen Herstellern. Over-the-Air-Updates, telematikgestützte Fehlerdiagnose, datenbasierte Serviceprozesse und digitale Plattformen verändern Produktionslogik, Kundenbeziehung und After-Sales-Strukturen grundlegend.Auch im internationalen Wettbewerb zeigen sich Unterschiede: Chinesische Hersteller verfügen über hohe Kompetenz in Produkttechnologie, stehen jedoch im europäischen Markt vor Herausforderungen im Flottenmanagement, bei Restwertstabilität und Serviceinfrastruktur.Für Fuhrparkverantwortliche bedeutet dies: Neben der operativen Steuerung bestehender Flotten müssen strategische Weichen für 2030 gestellt werden – insbesondere in den Bereichen IT-Plattformen, Partnerschaften, Ladeinfrastruktur, Kostenkontrolle und Asset-Management.Das Interview basiert auf dem ausführlichen Gespräch mit Dr. Collet.Zum InterviewpartnerDr. Markus ColletPartner und Leiter der Auto-Mobility-PlattformCorporate Value Associates – Paris/BerlinMarkus Collet leitet den Bereich Automobil-Mobilität bei Corporate Value Associates. Er verfügt über umfassende Expertise entlang des gesamten Fahrzeuglebenszyklus und der langfristigen Entwicklung automobiler Wertschöpfungsketten.

Send a textOn this week's episode of the WTR Small-Cap Spotlight, Corrado De Gasperis, Chief Executive Officer of Comstock Inc. (NYSE: LODE), joined Tim Gerdeman, Vice Chair & Co-Founder and Chief Marketing Officer of Water Tower Research, and Peter Gastreich, Energy and Sustainable Investing Analyst at Water Tower Research. De Gasperis discusses Comstock's high-volume, zero‑landfill solar panel recycling platform, which recovers 100% of panel materials, including significant amounts of silver, aluminum, and other critical minerals. He outlines the structural shift underway in the silver market driven by accelerating industrial demand from solar, electrification, and advanced technologies, and explains how Comstock is positioned to capture value through recycling economics that blend environmental service fees, low operating costs, and commodity sales. With its first permitted facility in Nevada commissioning, plans to scale multiple recycling sites nationwide, and a strategy to vertically integrate domestic silver refining, Comstock is positioned for strong cash flow growth and long-term leadership in sustainable metals.

Wir können nicht ohne Plastik leben. Mit Plastikmüll aber auch nicht. Kann man das Material ersetzen? Und wie bekommen wir die Umweltverschmutzung wieder in den Griff?

If you believe the finance bros on TikTok, debt recycling is the magic wealth building hack everyone with a home should already be using. But is it really that simple? So, in this episode, we’re looking beyond the hype to explain what debt recycling actually is, how it works in the real world, when it can work well and why it’s not a shortcut or a strategy that suits everyone. In this ep:

Beton ist dominant und klotzig, finden die einen. Die anderen feiern Akzente aus Beton sogar in Innenräumen jetzt wieder als stylisch. Auch die Architektur des Brutalismus erlebt ein Comeback, lange wurde sie als Bausünde geschmäht. Und noch ein betonlastiges Stück Architekturgeschichte rückt wieder ins Zentrum des Interesses. In den Plattenbauten der DDR sehen manche einen Lösungsansatz für den aktuellen Wohnraummangel - könnte man so nicht schnell und günstig Wohnraum schaffen? Allerdings ist Beton ein echter Klimakiller und Recycling bislang schwierig. Warum gibt es diesen Hype der Betonmonster? Welche Alternativen gibt es zum klassischen Beton? Bauen wir eines Tages vielleicht mit Bananen oder Bambus statt mit Beton? Über diese Fragen spricht Karen Fuhrmann u. a. mit Oliver Elser vom Deutschen Architekturmuseum Frankfurt, dem Künstler und Verleger Christoph Liepach und mit Professor Eike Roswag-Klinge, Präsident der Architektenkammer Berlin. Podcast-Tipp: SWR Das Wissen Beton neu denken - Wie wird der Baustoff nachhaltig? Beton ist unverzichtbar, aber klimaschädlich. Deshalb gibt es viele Ansätze, Beton klimaverträglicher herzustellen. Dazu gehören Carbon- oder Biobeton mit Karottenzusatz. Gearbeitet wird auch an Betonvarianten, die recycelbar sind oder sogar CO2 speichern. Was muss passieren, damit wir "besser" bauen? https://www.ardaudiothek.de/episode/urn:ard:episode:6a73e6b191408d12/

Environmental Series. Episode #1 of 4. In 1851, a journalist named Henry Mayhew set out to document the lives of London's working poor. What he found was astonishing. In the richest city in the world, thousands of people made their living by picking through other people's trash. There were the bone-grubbers, who scavenged bones from gutters to sell to soap manufacturers. There were the mudlarks, mostly children, who waded through the filthy banks of the Thames searching for coal, rope, and bits of metal. And then there were the pure-finders. What's “pure” you ask? Well, "pure" was a Victorian euphemism for dog excrement. Pure-finders, mostly elderly women, spent their days scouring the streets of London for dog droppings, which they then sold by the pailful to tanneries in Bermondsey. The tanners used it to purify leather. Hence the name. We tend to think of recycling as a modern invention, something that started with the environmental movement of the 1970s. Blue bins, sorting instructions, that kind of thing. But as brilliant historians have uncovered, the story of how humans have dealt with their discarded materials stretches back millennia. For most of human history, the concept of "throwing something away" barely existed. To begin our series on environmental history, we're tackling the premodern history of recycling. Or as pre-WWII people would have called it: reclamation, salvage, scrapping, repair, and reuse. We'll meet rag-and-bone men and dustmen, shoddy masters and mudlarks. We'll discover how rags became paper, how old wool became new cloth, and how virtually nothing in the premodern world was ever truly waste.

The global ship recycling market saw another sharp shift this week as the U.S. dollar weakened across nearly all recycling destinations, providing fresh support to buyer sentiment across the sub-continent. Steel fundamentals also strengthened significantly, with India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh reporting notable weekly jumps in local steel plate prices. In this week's ship recycling market podcast, Ingrid and Henning break down the latest movements in the Baltic Dry Index, oil prices falling below sixty-two U.S. dollars per barrel, and how improving domestic fundamentals are reshaping pricing expectations across the Indian sub-continent. Pakistan continues to lead the market, supported by firm steel levels, improving currency performance, and renewed demand for dry bulk candidates. Bangladesh re-enters the spotlight as Chattogram activity increases, though uncertainty remains high with national elections approaching mid-February. India shows stronger footing as steel prices rebound and the Indian Rupee strengthens, while Turkey remains subdued, with Aliaga activity limited and the Turkish Lira continuing its gradual decline.

What should designers know about materials before product development? In this episode, Andreas Maegerlein, Head of the Creation Center Europe at BASF, talks about circular design from a material perspective, focusing on how material choices enable or limit circularity. The conversation looks at how product design is affected when materials are developed to last for decades, while products are often designed to be disposable or short-lived. What you'll hear in this episode: • The importance of aligning material choice with product lifetime and use cycles •Why material selection need to be informed by recycling infrastructure, recycling technologies, and energy-usage • How the role of designers is evolving from showcasing quality alone toward also conveying sustainability This episode opens the series Implementing Circular Design Principles, produced in collaboration with the German Design Council. The series explores how design decisions shape circular outcomes at the material, product, and system level, following the principles of Rethink, Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle.

In the first episode of 2026, Recycled Content host Kara Pochiro hands hosting duties over to Maite Quinn-Richards, President of Resource Recycling. Maite is joined by APR Board members Michael Westerfield of Dart Container Corporation and Nicole Janssen of Denton Plastics for a preview of the key issues shaping the future of plastics recycling, which will be explored at the 2026 Plastics Recycling Conference (PRC) this February in San Diego. Drawing on perspectives from both brand manufacturing and recycling, the conversation explores current market pressures, recycled content demand, design for recyclability, and the growing role of EPR legislation. The episode also highlights PRC being held alongside the Resource Recycling Conference and the Textile Recovery Summit this year, and why policy, market development, and technical recycling conversations must happen together as the industry heads into 2026.   For more information about PRC visit plasticsrecycling.com.

Rare earth elements are crucial for defence, auto and electronic industries and have become a geopolitical battleground. China controls 95 percent of the world's supply, thanks to cheap labour, vast deposits and lax environmental regulations. But a young French-American scientist has developed a groundbreaking process for recovering rare earths from neon light bulbs, and potentially other electronic appliances, paving the way for the recycling of these essential metals. 

The global ship recycling market enters February under renewed pressure as currency volatility, rising oil prices, and shifting fundamentals reshape buyer behavior across key recycling destinations. In this week's market update, Ingrid and Henning discuss how Pakistan strengthens its position following another HKC-approved yard and firm steel fundamentals, while Bangladesh returns to the bidding tables but remains constrained by weak steel prices, currency pressure, and upcoming elections. India stays active at the anchorage despite record Rupee weakness and soft plate prices, keeping pricing selective, while Turkey sees steady demand supported by RoRo arrivals even as the Lira continues to depreciate. The episode also covers movements in the Baltic Dry Index, oil prices crossing USD 65 per barrel, regional currency trends, steel plate pricing across the sub-continent, HKC compliance developments, and evolving tonnage supply expectations as Q1 2026 unfolds. Designed for shipowners, cash buyers, recyclers, brokers, financiers, and maritime professionals monitoring global demolition markets, this weekly conversation highlights pricing direction, compliance momentum, and the key risks and opportunities shaping the ship recycling landscape.

What if we could recycle just half of the plastic currently going to landfills?The answer: 173,000 new jobs, nearly $50 billion in economic output, and a stronger American manufacturing base.In this episode of Sustainably Speaking, host Mia Quinn welcomes back Ross Eisenberg, president of America's Plastic Makers, for a wide-ranging conversation on why recycling is no longer just an environmental issue—it's an economic and manufacturing opportunity hiding in plain sight.Ross highlights what's actually working in recycling today, from large-scale facilities turning plastic  into new products to advanced technologies that can recover materials once thought to be unrecyclable. He explains why the idea that “recycling doesn't work” is one of the biggest myths holding back progress.The conversation also tackles the policy choices shaping the future of recycling, including:Why flexible, technology-neutral policies matter more than one-size-fits-all mandatesHow mass balance works (and why it's similar to Fair Trade coffee)What states are getting right—and wrong—on Extended Producer ResponsibilityWhy a federal definition of advanced recycling as manufacturing could unlock investment nationwideLooking ahead, Ross shares what success could look like, from scaling U.S. recycling infrastructure to reaching a global plastics agreement that expands access to waste management for billions of people worldwide.And yes, there's some fun along the way…from K-pop playlists to shark diving and guilty-pleasure reality TV.

What if the hormone replacement therapy you're taking is recycling in your body and creating the exact problems you're trying to solve? Most doctors test your hormone levels and prescribe accordingly. But here's what they're missing: it's not just about the hormones you make or the hormones you take – it's about how your unique body packages them, processes them, and eliminates them. And when this goes wrong, you can experience fibroids, unexplained weight gain, crushing fatigue, and worsening symptoms even though your blood tests look "normal." Dr. Betty Murray holds a PhD in hormone metabolism research and has spent over 20 years individualizing hormone therapy for women. In this conversation, we dive deep into the science that most practitioners completely miss: the three pathways your body uses to process estrogen, why your DNA matters (but isn't destiny), and how supporting detoxification in the wrong order can actually make things worse. This isn't a basic "should I do HRT" conversation. This is the advanced science that explains why some women thrive on hormone therapy while others struggle and what you can do about it if you're in the second group. We explore the difference between blood tests, urine tests, and Dutch tests (and why your doctor might be dismissing the most important one). Dr. Murray explains why taking supplements like DIM without understanding your complete pathway picture could be sabotaging your results. And she shares the critical downstream steps that must be supported first (sulfation and methylation) before anything else will work. If you've ever felt gaslit by "normal" lab results while feeling anything but normal, this episode is for you. Dr. Murray gives you permission to become your own health detective and shows you exactly where to start looking for answers. Listen now to discover the hormone processing pathways your doctor probably isn't testing, and why that might be the missing piece in your health journey. This is Part One of a two-part series. Part Two coming soon.   Catch the full episode on YOUTUBE HERE: https://bit.ly/MidlifeConversationsYouTube    Learn More About Dr. Betty Murray Instagram ➜ https://www.instagram.com/drbettymurray Website ➜  https://gethormonesnow.com/nataliejill  Thank you to our show sponsors!
