If the value of the material recovered doesn't exceed the cost to collect and process it, that item ends up in a landfill. This economic gap is exactly where Tom Szaky has built an empire.Recently, Tom Szaky, the CEO and founder of TerraCycle, shared insights on how he is tackling the world's garbage problem. His company isn't just a recycling firm; it is a supply chain innovator that figures out how to recycle the “unrecyclable,” from cigarette butts to dirty diapers.Tom explains the core issue with clarity. “The reality is most things in the world can be recycled. The difference is that recycling is not really a public service. It's run by for-profit companies.”He notes that aluminum cans are recycled because they are profitable. Conversely, complex items like coffee capsules cost more to process than the aluminum is worth. TerraCycle solves this by finding stakeholders—brands, retailers, and cities—willing to fund that gap.This model has proven incredibly successful. TerraCycle has been profitable for years and recently completed a Regulation Crowdfunding offering for TerraCycle US. They raised $5 million in less than 60 days.Investors are drawn to the company not just for its mission but for its financial discipline. Tom highlighted that previous investors have already received significant returns. “If you invested, say $1,000 in REG A back five years ago, you'd have already been paid somewhere between 17% and 20% of that invested capital in dividends.”Tom Szaky, Founder and CEO of TerraCycle, will be speaking at SuperGreen Live, sharing insights on sustainability, circular economy solutions, and rethinking waste at scale—register now at SuperGreenLive.orgTom challenges the old binary that you either make money or you do good. He believes purpose fuels business fundamentals. By locating his HQ in Trenton, New Jersey, he revitalizes an underserved community while gaining access to affordable real estate and a diverse talent pool.“Why should on one end we make money and on the other end give it away to NGOs to help save the world?” Tom asks. “Why can't those two concepts come together where you can invest in a profitable business whose core focus is making the world better?”TerraCycle is proving that you can indeed do both. By aligning profit with planetary health, Tom is showing a path toward a zero-waste world that makes economic sense.tl;dr:TerraCycle creates supply chains for hard-to-recycle waste by getting stakeholders to fund the cost gap.Recycling is an economic challenge because items are only recycled locally if they generate profit.Tom recently raised $5 million via Regulation Crowdfunding by demonstrating proven growth and consistent dividends.Purpose-driven business models can drive better economic fundamentals like lower costs and government support.Tom's superpower is rallying people around a vision by starting with a beautiful, impactful idea.How to Develop Rallying Believers As a SuperpowerTom describes his superpower as the ability to get others to see his vision and join him in executing it. It isn't just about salesmanship; it is about authentic conviction. He explains, “I feel like my core superpower is convincing people to believe in my dreams and rallying them around.” This ability allows him to mobilize diverse groups, from college interns to multinational corporations, to tackle massive global challenges like waste elimination.To illustrate this, Tom shared a charming story from his childhood. In second grade, he had a vision of folding thousands of origami cranes to create a decorative entryway for his bedroom. He started folding them at a table with four other classmates. He didn't force them to help; he just started doing the work with passion. Within two days, the whole table was folding cranes. By the end of the week, the entire class was involved. This early experience taught him that if you lead with action and a compelling idea, people will naturally want to be part of the journey.How to Develop This SuperpowerFor those interested in rallying people around a vision, Tom offers several insights that can help transform this into a skill:Start with a beautiful idea. The core concept should not just be about making money. It must be something that makes the world better, more beautiful, or more sustainable.Believe in it yourself. Authentic, unwavering belief in a dream is essential before expecting others to follow.Just start doing it. Action attracts others. By beginning the work, people will naturally gravitate toward the energy and vision.View profit as health, not the goal. While profit is necessary to survive, keeping the mission as the central focus ensures authenticity. This, in turn, attracts investors, employees, and partners who want to be part of something meaningful.Maintain clarity of vision. Instead of trying to fix everything at once, a focused approach on a specific area of expertise drives meaningful change.By following Tom's example and advice, rallying believers can become a powerful skill. With practice and effort, this superpower can enable individuals and organizations to achieve greater impact.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileTom Szaky (he/him):CEO/Founder, TerraCycleAbout TerraCycle: TerraCycle is an international leader in innovative sustainability solutions, creating and operating first-of-their-kind platforms in recycling, recycled materials, and reuse.

Too Much Plastic, Too Little (Actual) RecyclingHow often do you buy an item from the store that's packaged in a plastic container or wrapped in plastic? Daily decisions like these add up and are feeding into the global plastic crisis. Scientists estimate that there's anywhere between 9 to 16 million tons of plastic on the sea floor, polluting the environment, harming species and releasing harmful microplastics into every corner of the planet and into our bodies. Two experts on plastic join us this week to shed some light on the problem and how we can each make a difference by changing our consumption habits and demanding improved policies that crack down on single-use plastics.Relearning How To Be Friends As An AdultMaking friends as an adult is harder than it looks, with so many of us trying to juggle busy, demanding schedules, living in new places and dealing with a culture that discourages vulnerability.

Storms are creating travel delays for those either trying to get home from the Christmas holiday or to their New Year's Eve destinations. Plus, after rain delay, the City of San Diego's Christmas tree recycling program is up and running. And, the MTS will offering free rides on busses and trolley's with extended hours on New Year's Eve.

As 2025 comes to a close, GMS Weekly - Week 52 delivers a comprehensive year-end overview of the global ship recycling and demolition market, highlighting key trends, pricing movements, and compliance developments across the major recycling destinations. In this episode, Henning and Ingrid reflect on a turbulent year shaped by scarce vessel supply, declining steel plate prices, volatile currencies, and continued uncertainty across global freight markets. Despite softer pricing compared to early-2024 highs, meaningful progress on Hong Kong Convention (HKC) compliance across the Indian sub-continent provides a constructive outlook heading into 2026. Market highlights this week include: A quiet holiday market with no reported recycling sales, reflecting continued supply tightness. Bangladesh closing the year with filled yards, flat steel trading, improved port efficiency, and cautious optimism ahead of 2026. India ending 2025 under pressure from falling steel prices and a weaker rupee, despite a resilient broader economic backdrop. Pakistan reaching a major milestone with its first HKC-approved ship recycling yard, positioning Gadani for increased competitiveness in 2026. Turkey remaining subdued as currency weakness and limited tonnage keep Aliaga quiet. Freight markets easing further, potentially delaying recycling candidates into early 2026 as owners await surveys and dry-dock cycles. Indicative recycling levels for Week 52 (USD/LDT): Bangladesh: Bulker 410 | Tanker 430 | Container 440 Pakistan: Bulker 400 | Tanker 420 | Container 430 India: Bulker 380 | Tanker 400 | Container 410 Turkey: Bulker 270 | Tanker 280 | Container 290 As the industry looks ahead, HKC-ready capacity, regulatory compliance, and timing of vessel supply are expected to define recycling market dynamics in the year ahead.   Tune in for a concise, data-driven wrap-up of 2025 and what it means for ship recycling markets in 2026.

A high surf advisory is in effect along San Diego's coastline. Plus, a felon who escaped capture in Lemon Grove is still on the loose.

On this Christmas day episode, we mention a few holiday happenings in the neighborhood and discuss historical Christmas truces that occurred during war time as our featured topic. We have a throwback interview with local R&B/HipHop/Jazz ensemble Omars Hat.

In this episode, Jamie Dalzell, Head of GMS Singapore, speaks with Dr. Anand Hiremath, GMS Chief Sustainability Officer and lead of SSORP, the Sustainable Ship and Offshore Recycling Program. In ship recycling, many incidents happen when routine takes over and basic checks are skipped to keep work moving. This conversation focuses on the small actions that prevent harm on the ground: the pause before lighting the torch, a gas check repeated when conditions change, a supervisor choosing not to overlap high risk jobs, and a near miss report that results in a real fix. What SSORP has delivered this year (so far) 781 safety awareness training sessions 12,036 yard workers reached 70 distinct topics delivered across India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan Training provided free for workers Topics discussed in this episode Permit to Work (PTW): planning, authorization, checks, and clear responsibility before high risk work starts Hot work and gas cutting discipline: leak checks, flashback risks, ventilation, fire watch, safe cylinder handling, and stop work authority Confined space awareness: atmospheric hazards, entry controls, communication, and changing conditions Lifting and material handling: rigging basics, exclusion zones, signals, and early warning signs before a load shifts Heat stress and fatigue: hydration routines, shaded rest, symptom recognition, and simple prevention steps Near miss reporting: reporting early, pausing the task, inspecting gear, fixing issues, and sharing learning in toolbox talks Environmental awareness and waste handling: segregation, storage discipline, spill prevention, and daily yard practices Mock drills and emergency readiness: alarms, isolation, muster points, first actions, and clear response roles Key takeaways for different roles For workers: professionalism is in the pause. Ask for checks, report near misses, stop when conditions change For supervisors and mukadams: make work predictable. Plan, brief, coordinate overlaps, and make permits meaningful For owners and management: back the system. Maintain equipment, support reporting without blame, and reinforce discipline consistently This episode is a practical look at training that supports safer work shift by shift across ship recycling yards.

From the halls of government to the depths of the ocean, how deep does the plastic crisis go and can we recycle our way out of this mess?Plastic has completely permeated our existence, and and its effects are far-reaching, from soil to glaciers. Recycling was supposed to take care of this mess — or was it?   In this episode, we'll figure ou how the plastic industry is behind one of th biggest greenwashing schemes of all time, the current state of recycling, and why Big Oil is banning big on plastic. We'll also hear from our plastic-perplexed-but-optimistic community and our expert, Head of Research at The Ocean Cleanup, Laurent Lebreton.

WXPR News for 12-24-25

In Episode 164 of Baseless Conspiracies, Jon Herold and Zak Paine revisit the January 6 pipe bomber narrative, breaking down newly resurfaced claims, recycled media framing, and the continued failure to resolve basic unanswered questions. The hosts examine how familiar fear-based storylines are reintroduced during politically sensitive moments, dissecting inconsistencies in surveillance footage, suspect descriptions, and investigative transparency. The conversation expands into broader information warfare, including how unresolved events are weaponized to reinforce public distrust, justify expanded authority, and distract from institutional accountability. Jon and Zak also explore parallel narratives involving federal agencies, intelligence optics, and media coordination, highlighting patterns that repeat across multiple “unsolved” cases. With their signature mix of skepticism, humor, and methodical analysis, the episode challenges listeners to question why certain stories never reach closure and what purpose perpetual uncertainty serves.

Recycling is not just about waste. It is about responsibility, opportunity, and the story we choose to write for the place we call home. In Shiawassee, that story is being shaped with purpose, collaboration, and a vision that stretches far beyond today.

In this Week 51 episode, Ingrid and Henning break down the latest ship recycling and demolition market signals across Bangladesh, India (Alang), Pakistan (Gadani), and Turkey (Aliaga). This week delivers a sharp reminder of December volatility: freight markets continue to ease, the U.S. Dollar remains unstable, oil holds at relatively low levels, and local steel plate prices shift across the sub-continent. With the Hong Kong Convention (HKC) now in force, recyclers continue adapting to higher compliance expectations, while owners watch pricing and delivery timing closely heading into year-end. Market overview highlights: Lower supply remains the defining theme, even as fixtures and arrivals begin to surface across sub-continent beaches. Bangladesh sees another price reset as steel plate prices drop quickly and yard capacity remains a key factor. India remains under pressure overall, but the Rupee firms and local plate prices rebound, adding short-term optimism. Pakistan strengthens its position with firmer domestic steel and ongoing HKC momentum, though delivery delays remain a concern. Turkey stays largely sidelined as restrictions and currency weakness keep Aliaga quiet. Indicative recycling levels this week (USD per LDT): Bangladesh: Bulker 410 | Tanker 430 | Container 440 Pakistan: Bulker 400 | Tanker 420 | Container 430 India: Bulker 380 | Tanker 400 | Container 410 Turkey: Bulker 270 | Tanker 280 | Container 290 Also in this episode: GMS is proud to share that our Founder and CEO, Dr. Anil Sharma, has been recognized in the Lloyd's List Top 100 Most Influential People in Shipping for the 16th consecutive year. Under his leadership, GMS has completed more than 5,000 transactions and handles about one-third of global tonnage delivered for recycling each year.

Ich habe mir für das Jahresende eine Folge aufgehoben, in der es um ein wirklich spannendes Thema geht: Nämlich das Recycling von Autobatterien. Umso mehr E-Autos auf deutschen Straßen rollen, umso wichtiger wird es, Infrastrukturen zu schaffen, in denen die Ressourcen, die in den Batterien stecken, auch wieder zurückgewonnen werden. Nicht zuletzt auch, um uns etwas unabhängiger von Importen zu machen. Mein Gast in dieser Folge arbeitet in einem Unternehmen, das sich der Aufbereitung, dem Recycling und der Reparatur von Autobatterien verschrieben hat. Lukas Brandl ist Geschäftsführer der BLC The Battery Lifecycle Company und weiß daher aus erster Hand, vor welchen Herausforderungen die Branche aktuell steht und gibt einen Ausblick in die Zukunft.

In Part 3 of Ship Recycling Insurance Explained, host Jamie Dalzell and Paulina, Head of Insurance at GMS, look ahead at the technologies, regulations, and ESG expectations that will shape the next phase of maritime risk management. As ship recycling becomes more regulated and data driven, owners, insurers, and recycling partners rely on stronger verification systems and real-time information to manage final voyage exposure. Paulina explains how digital tools, vessel tracking, AI based routing, and improved certification processes are increasing transparency and reducing risk across the recycling chain. The conversation highlights how insurers are now linking coverage and premium terms to ESG performance, worker safety standards, carbon considerations, and responsible recycling practices. The episode also explores how GMS prepares for regulatory change by strengthening audits, working with reputable insurers, and investing in digital monitoring to maintain high operational standards. Topics include: • How vessel tracking and digital tools support better risk decisions • The role of AI in voyage planning and incident prevention • How digital certification improves transparency and compliance • Growing ESG influence on underwriting, pricing, and coverage availability • Environmental liability trends and new regulatory expectations • How GMS prepares for future maritime and recycling regulations • The importance of proactive and responsible risk management This final episode ties together the themes of the series and shows how the future of ship recycling insurance will be shaped by technology, ESG performance, and evolving international standards.

In this milestone 100th episode of Waterfall, , Mike is joined by Professor Maja Kutlaca from Durham University to explore why recycling has become part of everyday life while saving water still lags behind. Drawing on her research in social psychology, Maja explains how visibility, social norms and trusted messengers shape our behaviour, and why water saving often feels less urgent or personal. Together, they discuss how better communication, community leadership and simple tools like water meters could help make water conservation a normal, everyday habit.

Wasif Latif, Co-Founder, President & Chief Investment Officer at Sarmaya Partners, stops by the Energy News Beat and Energy Impacts Podcasts - With Stu Turley, and David Blackmon for an in-depth look at the global oil and gas financial markets. 1. The performance and investment strategy of the Sarmaya Partners ETF called "Lens". Wasif Latif, the co-founder and CIO of Sarmaya Partners, discusses how the Lens ETF has performed very well since its launch, up over 50%, by investing in stocks and commodities related to the "return to tangibles" investment theme.2. The outlook for the energy and commodities markets, including oil, natural gas, copper, and precious metals like gold and silver. Latif believes there is a looming supply deficit in these commodities due to underinvestment, which will lead to higher prices in the coming years.3. The challenges and limitations of the renewable energy transition, particularly the reliance on technologies like lithium-ion batteries that have significant constraints. Latif argues the transition to renewable energy will take much longer than commonly projected.4. The geopolitical tensions and supply disruptions impacting energy and commodity markets, such as the recent incidents involving tankers and oil platforms. Latif discusses how these short-term events are often "noise" that don't change the underlying supply and demand fundamentals.5. The broader macroeconomic and policy environment, including high inflation, rising interest rates, and increased government intervention, which Latif believes will be favorable for tangible assets and commodities over the long term.00:00 Intro Return to Tangibles01:11 ETF LENS is by Sarmaya Partners03:35 Is the world oversupplied with oil06:10 Geopolitical Risk to Oil07:09 Shale Boom and Break-even for Oil10:06 Companies looking for exploration locations11:38 Policy impacting prices16:58 Market Cycles20:21 Markets like Copper23:42 Global Markets and deindustrialization27:15 Grid complexities of AC vs DC28:56 Renewables impact on Energy37:30 Investing and day trading 41:45 Recycling and Copper48:20 Nuclear and AIFollow Wasif on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/wasiflatif/Check out https://sarmayapartners.com/Check out the Substack: https://sarmayakar.substack.com/Check everything David Blackmon on Blackmon.substack.com

“Plastic is everywhere — wrapped around our food, stitched into our clothes, even coursing through our veins.”That's how Judith Enck begins her new book, "The Problem with Plastic: How We Can Save Ourselves and our Planet Before It's Too Late," co-authored with Adam Mohoney. A former regional administrator for the Environmental Protection Agency, Enck warns that plastics are a toxic industry that are poisoning people and the environment. Plastic production has gone from two million tons per year in 1950, to 450 million tons per year today. The plastics industry has spent millions selling the material as safe and sustainable, but only 6% of plastic is recycled. Plastic recycling is a “false solution,” Enck said. “Plastic recycling has never worked. Never will work.” The plastics industry has “spent millions of dollars advertising, telling us, 'don't worry about all the plastic you're generating,' just toss it in your recycling bin. That is deceptive, and it is so deceptive that the Attorney General of California Rob Bonta sued the nation's largest maker of plastic, the little mom and pop company known as Exxon Mobil, for deceptive claims around plastics recycling and chemical recycling.”Plastic never breaks down. It breaks up into smaller microplastics, circulating in the environment for centuries, said Enck. “16,000 different chemicals are used to make plastic, and the chemicals will sometimes hitchhike on the microplastics. So we're having the physical presence of microplastics in our bodies, but also the presence of chemicals that are used to make plastic, including PFAS chemicals, lead, mercury, formaldehyde.” Microplastics have been found in lungs, testicles, blood, breast milk and semen. They are associated with a rise in reproductive cancers, cardiovascular disease and diabetes, among other ailments.The plastics industry has deployed an army of lobbyists to beat back attempts to limit the use of plastics. As an example, Enck cites New York's effort this year to consider “a comprehensive packaging reduction bill that will reduce all single use packaging by 30% over 12 years.”“This was the most lobbied bill in the 2026 legislative session in nearby Albany,” said Enck, noting that “there were 106 registered lobbyists against this bill, and 24 in support. I have never seen so many special interest lobbyists wandering the halls of the State Capitol in Albany, including the final night of the legislative session, where they killed the bill on the assembly floor after it passed in the State Senate.”That experience has led Enck to conclude that "reducing plastic in our bodies, in our environment, in Lake Champlain, in the ocean, is more of a political science issue than a science issue. We have enough science to act.”Judith Enck was appointed EPA regional administrator by President Obama and she has served as deputy secretary for the environment in New York. She is now a professor at Bennington College and the founder and president of Beyond Plastics, a group that works to eliminate plastic pollution.Enck insisted that in addition to political action, individuals can take steps to minimize their exposure to plastic. “I suggest that people start with their kitchen, because that's where most of the plastic is, and that's where the greatest risk is in terms of exposure in your food. Do not put plastic in your microwave. Get rid of black plastic utensils in your kitchen drawers, because black plastic is made from recycled electronic waste. Get rid of your plastic cutting board. Replace it with either wood or steel. Do a little audit of what's your heaviest use of plastic. For instance, if you drink a lot of juice, instead of buying it in plastic jugs, buy frozen concentrate and make it in a glass pitcher. There are steps like that we can take.”

CELTICS COURT REPORT- BRIAN SCALABRINE, LETS TALK BOSTON HOOPS.

Is your body running on broken engines?We often obsess over what we eat, but we rarely think about how our cells process that fuel. If your mitochondria (the engines of your cells) are dysfunctional, it doesn't matter how perfect your diet is—you will feel tired, you will recover slowly, and you will age faster.In this episode, we sit down with Brad Currier, a PhD in muscle physiology and scientist at Timeline, to discuss Urolithin A—the breakthrough molecule that acts as a "recycling program" for your cells. Brad reveals why natural food sources are virtually impossible to rely on (you'd need to drink 1.5 liters of juice daily), how this molecule compares to fasting for longevity, and the shocking data coming out of studies with Olympic athletes.In this episode, you will learn:The "Junkyard" Theory: Why mitochondrial dysfunction is the root cause of low energy and poor recovery.Mitophagy Explained: How to trigger the selective breakdown of "zombie" mitochondria to build fresh, healthy ones.The Pomegranate Reality Check: Why you can't eat your way to therapeutic levels of Urolithin A (and the sugar cost of trying).Fasting vs. MitoPure: The difference between "global" starvation (fasting) and "surgical" cellular repair.Olympic Secrets: How elite runners are using this specific protocol to lower perceived exertion and muscle damage.The Future of Longevity: How this impacts not just muscle, but skin, immune health, and cognitive function.Timeline Mitopure Gummies: GET 20% Off Now!

Judith Enck, founder of Beyond Plastics, professor at Bennington College, former EPA Region 2 administrator, and author of the new book The Problem with Plastics: How We Can Save Ourselves and Our Planet Before It's Too Late (The New Press, 2025), discusses her new book which takes a look at how plastic went from being a "marvel of modern science" to a toxic industry that pollutes the environment and impacts health, plus tips on how to reduce everyday exposure to plastics.

Have you ever gotten to the end of, say, a jar of peanut butter and wondered if it should go in trash or recycling? If it's worth rinsing out? And where will it actually end up?Journalist Alexander Clapp had those same questions, and went to great lengths to answer them—visiting five continents to chronicle how our trash travels. Along the way, he discovered a multibillion-dollar trash trade run by shady waste brokers, and a global industry powered by slimy spoons, crinkled plastic bags, and all the other stuff we throw away. It's a putrid business that we're a part of, and many of us know little about.In a conversation from February, Host Flora Lichtman speaks with Clapp about the garbage business and his new book Waste Wars: The Wild Afterlife Of Your Trash.Guest: Alexander Clapp is a journalist and author of Waste Wars: The Wild Afterlife Of Your Trash. He's based in Athens, Greece.Transcript is available at sciencefriday.com. Subscribe to this podcast. Plus, to stay updated on all things science, sign up for Science Friday's newsletters.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 35: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-BLOCK (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: Well here's a switcheroo. For the first time in more than a decade, the far right and the far left and everybody in between are in full agreement: NONE OF US knows… what the hell is wrong with Trump. Trump was so smitten with Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani that by Saturday he was DRESSING like Mamdani; a neat black overcoat that fit him – and a red scarf that enveloped his neck – hair, combed with something other than a garden claw. And remember: some far right commentators had almost expected that when Mamdani arrived at the White House he would be greeted by Trump and Tom Homan and hooded ICE gestapo agents who would fabricate some story about Mamdani lying on paperwork, seize him, and expel him. They expected Mamdani to leave the Oval Office in chains; instead, Trump left the Oval Office in love. AND NOW MARGE GREENE is out, and Laura Loomer is asking 'why bother to vote next year?' and Charles Gasparino is saying the wheels are off the Trump presidency and even the MAGAs think Trump has gone nuts and it's over. It's not - but it's nice to watch them squirm. Plus the Kash Patel/Girlfriend/SWAT team fiasco and even the Ukraine proposal literally written in Russian by Russians has embarrassed them. It's fabulous. PLUS A NEW THOUGHT ON TRUMP'S INEXPLICABLE MRI. Maybe he really doesn't know what happened. Maybe he has anosognosia, the disease that makes it impossible for you to acknowledge or even remember that you have a disease. Maybe they told him why he got that MRI - and he immediately blocked it out. B-BLOCK (34:00) YOUR LATEST NUZZI DOOZY NEWS. Yes, the big screaming uh, RECYCLING headline is gross. But it's not the real story. The real story is: Ryan Lizza now claims that for a year, before the election, while she was working for New York Magazine, my ex was doing Catch and Kill operations on RFK's behalf. Very bad news for all involved. And that she told him if anybody ever found out about her and Bob, he'd kill her. She exaggerates, but he doesn't think this was one of those. Plus, Vanity Fair is about to get rid of her. Feel free to skip this update. C-BLOCK (1:02:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Rookie Chicago cop shoots himself in the silver bullets, the Ellisons are willing to fire any CNN anchor Trump doesn't want in exchange for him letting them buy CNN, and Laura Loomer and Catturd are so stupid they fell for the oldest joke in the "Arabic" book.
