This Daily Habit Flushes Dangerous Fat in Days In this episode, Ben breaks down how your morning routine could be causing you to recycle inflammatory fat instead of eliminating it. Key Highlights: Your liver packages inflammatory fats and toxins into bile every morning. If bile flow is sluggish, those toxins get reabsorbed through a process called enterohepatic circulation. Industrial seed oils and excess omega-6 fats can stay in your fat tissue for up to 680 days. Bile is your fat exit highway. Clear flow equals elimination. Sluggish flow equals recirculation. The 3 Morning Mistakes: Not hydrating first thing, which thickens bile Adding sugar and inflammatory creamers to coffee Drinking moldy, low-quality coffee that stresses the liver The Solution: Clean coffee, when high quality and mold-free, has been shown to: Stimulate gallbladder contraction Increase bile release Improve bowel motility Lower liver enzymes Reduce fatty liver risk Simple Morning Protocol: Hydrate before caffeine Drink clean coffee (black or with healthy fats, no sugar) Allow natural elimination Support bile flow with bitter foods like lemon, arugula, and ginger Ben also shares a free 7-day fat-burning guide to help reset metabolism and reduce visceral fat. Bottom line:Your morning coffee can either trap inflammatory fat or help flush it. Support your liver, stimulate bile flow, and stop recycling what your body is trying to eliminate.

Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, interviewed Roger Brown, Vice President of Mobile North America at Allstate Protection Plans, to discuss new consumer research examining how Americans think about smartphone upgrades, trade-ins, and sustainability—and what it means for carriers and the broader mobile ecosystem. Allstate Protection Plans, a division of Allstate, works globally with carriers and retailers to provide device protection, upgrade, and second-life solutions for smartphones and other connected devices. Brown shared findings from a recent survey of more than 1,000 U.S. consumers. The first major takeaway: upgrade cycles continue to lengthen. Consumers are keeping their smartphones longer, driven by higher device prices, extended financing terms, and slower perceived innovation. The second key finding was that practicality now outweighs novelty. For the first time, battery performance ranked as the most important feature—above price or camera improvements—signaling that dependability now trumps incremental feature upgrades. A third headline centered on sustainability. While more than half of consumers say environmental impact matters, only about 20% actually recycle their old phones, and just 16% purchase refurbished devices. Brown noted that lingering concerns about personal data security remain a barrier, even though industry safeguards are strong. “There's still a lack of confidence,” he explained, particularly around handing over devices containing personal photos, financial data, and contacts. The survey also has strategic implications for carriers. Longer device life cycles improve retention but make customer acquisition more difficult and expensive. As Brown observed, simply offering the latest device is no longer enough to differentiate. Instead, carriers are exploring bundled and subscription-style offerings—combining connectivity, device access, and protection into a single monthly solution—to simplify the consumer experience and create stronger value propositions. Building confidence in refurbished devices by backing them with warranties comparable to new products may also help close the sustainability gap. Ultimately, Brown emphasized that flexibility is key. Consumers have different upgrade appetites, and solutions must allow them to upgrade, repair, protect, or recycle on their own terms. The full survey and additional information about Allstate Protection Plans are available through the Allstate website. Visit https://www.squaretrade.com/

Mahesh Konduru, CEO of Momentum Technologies, joined “The Green Insider” to discuss critical minerals and their impact on the economy and various industries. With 25 years of experience, Mahesh shared his background in chemical engineering and his focus on commercializing technologies in the material science space. He emphasized the growing importance of critical minerals, especially in light of recent news about their use and the situation in Ukraine. Highlights from episode 317 are: Momentum Technologies focuses on developing solutions to recover and process critical minerals domestically in the U.S., reducing reliance on foreign supply chains, particularly China. Critical minerals are essential for consumer electronics, medical technology, mobility, and defense applications. The company processes and sells battery materials such as lithium, nickel, and cobalt, which are priced on public commodity exchanges, as well as rare earth elements with lower trading volumes. Rare earth metals used in magnets include neodymium, praseodymium, terbium, and dysprosium, which are key to advanced magnetic materials. Momentum Technologies advances rare earth magnet recycling using sources such as end‑of‑life products, manufacturing scrap, and mining tailings. Recycling rare earth materials has become more economically viable due to technological advancements and increased industry focus. The company's processing technology is described as more efficient and environmentally friendly compared to traditional large‑scale methods. Momentum Technologies operates a demonstration plant in Carrollton, Texas, and plans to build two additional plants: one in Ohio for battery materials and another for rare earth element recovery (Dallas area or the California–Nevada border). The planned facilities aim to be operational by early 2027, supporting U.S. supply‑chain resilience and national security.

Recycling gilt oft als Königsweg im Umgang mit gebrauchten Batterien. Doch ist das wirklich immer die beste Lösung? In dieser Podcast-Folge geht es um die Frage, warum Second-Life-Anwendungen für Batterien aus Elektroautos in vielen Fällen sinnvoller sein können als ein frühzeitiges Recycling. Dr. Nam Truong, Co-Founder und CEO von Stabl Energy, erklärt, warum Batterien heute deutlich länger halten als ursprünglich prognostiziert und weshalb der Markt für Second-Life-Batterien noch vor strukturellen Herausforderungen steht. Wir sprechen über begrenzte Recyclingkapazitäten in Europa, regulatorische Vorgaben, wirtschaftliche Zielkonflikte und die technische Komplexität der Batteriealterung. Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt liegt auf industriellen Batteriespeichern: Welche Rolle spielen modulare Speicherlösungen, wie lassen sich gebrauchte Batterien zuverlässig weiterverwenden und warum können Second-Life-Konzepte zur Stabilisierung von Stromnetzen beitragen? Zudem ordnen wir ein, warum Recyclingquoten langfristig möglicherweise angepasst werden müssen und welche Bedeutung Batteriespeicher für die Energiewende haben. Die Folge richtet sich an alle, die sich mit Elektromobilität, Batteriespeichern, Kreislaufwirtschaft und der Zukunft des Energiesystems beschäftigen – praxisnah, kritisch und fundiert.

In der Schweiz werden erst drei Prozent des Haushaltsplastiks recycelt. Das soll sich ändern, mit einem neuen schweizweiten Sammelsack. Wie sinnvoll ist Recycling von Kunststoffen? Und lohnt es sich wirtschaftlich? «Kassensturz»-Moderator André Ruch verfolgt, was aus seinem Haushaltsplastik wird. Kritik an Plastikrecycling: Lohnt es sich überhaupt? Der neue, gebührenpflichtige Plastikrecycling-Sack «RecyBag» soll in der Schweiz die Plastik-Sammelquote erhöhen. Zurzeit werden erst drei Prozent des Haushaltsplastiks recycelt. Die Umweltorganisation Greenpeace oder auch der Schweizer Konsumentenschutz kritisieren das Plastikrecycling als zu wenig effizient oder als «Greenwashing». Wie effektiv ist die Wiederverwertung von Kunststoff? Die Forschung ist sich in dieser Frage nicht einig. Kunststoffrecycling: Schwierige Wirtschaftslage Billigimporte aus China und den USA machen aktuell Plastikrecycling defizitär. Die Branche hofft jetzt auf Gesetze, die in neuen Produkten die Verwendung von rezykliertem Plastik vorschreiben. «Kassensturz»-Moderator André Ruch ist zu Besuch in der grössten Sortieranlage für Schweizer Plastik in Österreich und bei Innoplastics, Pionierin im Kunststoffrecycling. Intelligente Verpackungen: Design für Recycling Plastikprodukte können besser recycelt werden, wenn sie aus klar definierten einheitlichen Kunststoffen hergestellt werden. Die Bachmann Group versucht, Verpackungen bereits Recycling-fit herzustellen. Doch sie stösst auf Widerstände in der Branche.

 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

Oregon begins phasing in new recycling rules under a 2021 law that standardizes curbside recycling, shifts costs to producers and tightens processing standards.

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.

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/

Themen u.a.: Die neue Dunkelfeldstudie zeigt, dass die Politik auf die alltägliche Gewalt mehr reagieren müsste als auf heftige Einzelfälle wie den getöteten Bahnmitarbeiter. Und: Es braucht eine zügige Umsetzung der Ideen zur Gesundheitsreform. Von WDR 5.

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.

Efforts to make recycling more accessible to more communities.

This week we're joined by lobbyist Jennifer Fearing of Fearless Advocacy.  Fearing was a key player in the negotiations to pass SB 54, a landmark bill that regulates plastic waste in California. Governor Newsom signed the bill in 2022, but as we all know, passing legislation is one thing, implementation is another. Fearing walks us through the bill's complicated journey, and gives us an updates on it, and other environmental actions in the state.  Plus - Who had the Worst Week in California Politics.:42 Sports tix for electeds7:06 Jennifer Fearing8:55 Regulating SB 5412:13 How often do regs change?13:50 SB 54 has legs outside of California16:57 The steps19:39 Some environmental good news24:54 "Deals are a bunch of trades"26:21 Recycling: not a new idea29:01 #WWCAWant to support the Capitol Weekly Podcast?

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. This episode also highlights the ongoing shortage of recycling candidates, increased interest in older handy bulkers and LNG units, and the evolving balance of supply and demand shaping demolition pricing into early 2026. Designed for shipowners, cash buyers, recyclers, brokers, financiers, and maritime professionals tracking global demolition markets, this weekly discussion covers pricing direction, market sentiment, HKC compliance developments, and the key risks and opportunities currently shaping the ship recycling landscape.

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. 

Electronic junk gathering dust in a drawer could be the key to loosening China's grip on rare earth metals. WSJ energy columnist Ed Ballard takes us through the latest chapter in technology recycling.

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!
