In Australia's suburbs, unwanted household items are often left on the kerb—ready to be discarded, donated or discovered. For Canberra resident Sunita Kotnala, those kerbside treasures became the foundation for a community venture. Founded in 2020, Women's Shed Canberra has since helped around thousands of migrant and culturally diverse women learn practical trade skills, gain confidence using power tools, and challenge traditional gender stereotypes. Today, the initiative is changing lives, one workshop at a time.

Die groeiende impak van klimaatsverandering hervorm die versekeringsektor, met versekeraars wat groter onsekerheid in die gesig staar namate ekstreme weerpatrone meer gereeld voorkom. Old Mutual Namibia se onderskrywings- en herversekeringsbestuurder, Sesilia Nkoshi, sê die verskuiwing beïnvloed alles van onderskrywing en prysbepaling tot herversekeringskoste en polisstrukture. Nkoshi sê duideliker kommunikasie met kliënte is nou meer as ooit tevore nodig.
La France produit plus de 340 millions de tonnes de déchets chaque année, certains sont recyclés, d'autres brûlés et beaucoup finissent dans la nature et polluent notre environnement. Pour réduire cette pollution, la loi française mise notamment sur le retour de la consigne en verre, plus économique et plus écologique, une consigne qui avait disparu dans les années 1960 au profit du plastique jetable notamment. Depuis un an, une expérimentation est menée dans l'ouest du pays pour la relancer, c'est le projet ReUse, avec l'objectif de la généraliser et d'atteindre 10 % d'emballages consignés dès l'année prochaine sur tout le territoire. Dans un Super U de Nantes depuis un an, c'est une discrète révolution dans les rayons. L'emballage de quelques produits est désormais consigné. Lorsqu'un client achète certaines eaux, un jus de pomme ou une soupe de poisson, il paye un petit supplément, entre 0,10 et 0,20 € par produit. Il peut ensuite rapporter les bouteilles vides et récupérer cette consigne. « Une à deux fois par semaine, j'ai des bouteilles que je redépose ici. Tout n'est pas encore dans des emballages réutilisables, donc je ne peux pas faire ça systématiquement, regrette Carina Rabanelli, une cliente régulière. Mais une fois qu'on prend le réflexe, ça rentre vite dans le quotidien. » Pour cette cliente, les raisons d'utiliser la consigne sont multiples : « On le fait par souci de moins consommer, par souci pour la planète, par souci pour nos enfants. » À l'entrée du magasin, une grosse machine violette avale les bouteilles vides qu'elle rapporte et lui rend le montant de la consigne, soit par virement bancaire, soit en bon d'achat. Mais dans le magasin, seulement une quinzaine de produits sont consignés sur 40 000 vendus. Et si la majorité des clients rencontrés ce jour-là semblent intéressés par le principe, ils n'ont jamais remarqué le dispositif ou ne se sont jamais lancés. « Si ça peut être un modèle plus écologique et qui fonctionne, pourquoi pas ?, concède un client. Et je pense que j'essaierai à l'occasion. » À lire aussiL'UE tente de s'entendre pour réduire les emballages mais les dérogations s'accumulent Obliger les industriels à coopérer Les bouteilles collectées au supermarché sont ensuite acheminées dans une usine de lavage. Les bouteilles passent dans une immense machine à laver, puis elles sont séchées et un système de caméra vérifie qu'elles sont intactes avant d'être réempilées en palettes, prêtes à retourner dans le système. Comme le verre est un matériau très résistant, une bouteille peut être réutilisée jusqu'à 50 fois. « Quand on fabrique une bouteille en verre, il faut chauffer du sable et du calsyn à 1 500 degrés pendant 24 h, explique Yann Priou, le directeur général de l'usine Bout' à Bout'. Ça consomme beaucoup, beaucoup d'énergie. Et entre refabriquer une bouteille en verre neuve et laver une bouteille, c'est 80 % d'énergie en moins, donc 80 % de CO₂ en moins. Et en ce moment, le fait de réduire nos émissions de CO₂, c'est quand même un des enjeux majeurs. Et ça paraît contre-intuitif, mais laver une bouteille en verre, ça consomme moins d'eau que d'en refabriquer une nouvelle. Ça consomme à peu près deux fois moins d'eau. » Mais au bout d'un an, seulement un quart des bouteilles vendues ont été retournées et réemployées. Pourtant, dans son usine, Yann Priou a la capacité d'en laver beaucoup plus. « Non, les chiffres ne sont clairement pas au niveau des objectifs initiaux. Là où on a un vrai sujet, c'est de pouvoir augmenter les volumes et développer la filière, souligne-t-il. Parce que, à grande échelle, le réemploi coûte moins cher que le recyclage. » Mais bien trop peu de produits sont consignés dans les supermarchés. Ils sont parfois plus chers et mal exposés. Ce qu'il faut, c'est surtout obliger les industriels à coopérer, plaide Bastien Faure, directeur de l'ONG Zero Waste France, alors que pour l'instant, on compte sur leur bonne volonté. « Coca, Nestlé, Danone... ces industriels ont leur modèle économique, il est basé sur de l'emballage jetable. Le réemploi vient directement en contradiction avec ça, dénonce-t-il. Et leur demander de volontairement développer une filière de réemploi qui vient renier leurs marges, qui vient s'attaquer à leur modèle même, c'est illusoire de s'attendre à ce qu'ils le fassent volontairement. » L'expérimentation de la consigne dans l'ouest du pays a eu le mérite de montrer que le système fonctionne. C'est un pas de géant, mais encore insuffisant pour atteindre l'objectif fixé par la loi. Atteindre 10 % de consigne en 2027, on est aujourd'hui à moins de 2 %.

Individual pilots are great, but they don't scale themselves. So, how do you shift an entire system to move an unmovable market? This week on the Circular Economy Show, Lou and Fin explore the critical foundation of shared infrastructure. Whether it's launching scalable refill coalitions with Aldi and Ocado, aggregating future demand to bring 90% emission-reducing fuel to ocean transport, or rewriting retail habits at checkout counters across the US, to truly scale the circular economy, we have to stop building in silos and start building the shared infrastructure that allows everyone to win. Tune in to hear how three trailblazing women, Catherine Conway (GoUnpackaged), Ingrid Irigoyen (ZEMBA), and Kate Daly (Closed Loop Partners) are laying down the shared motorways that will allow everyone else to drive their own circular vehicles forward.

Across the world, everyday products — from kitchen appliances to electronics — are often thrown away rather than repaired. The latest UN estimates suggest people generate around 2 billion tonnes of household and everyday waste each year. This week we travel to Argentina to meet people finding new ways to keep old things in use. We visit Club de Reparadores, where people are learning how to fix everything from toasters to microwaves, meet the women behind Lindor who transform old blankets into coats, and join the group Cybercirujas as they find new uses for discarded computers.People Fixing The World from the BBC is about brilliant solutions to the world's problems.

TikTok spent the week helping users spot AI while Meta spent it explaining why it didn't ask permission. In this Geek Freaks Headlines, Frank breaks down TikTok's new in-app AI literacy hub, built with NAMLE and deepfake expert Henry Ajder, plus the platform's milestone of labeling over 3 billion videos as AI-generated. He also digs into the feature everyone actually wants: a setting that lets you control how much AI content shows up in your feed.Then it's over to Meta, where the new Muse Image generator automatically opted every public account into having their photos used for AI creations, with the opt-out buried deep in the Sharing and Reuse settings. Frank covers the backlash from SAG-AFTRA and why unions are sounding the alarm on likeness rights, plus the real-world danger when AI slop goes from harmless puppy videos to fake celebrity crypto scams targeting your friends and family.Timestamps:00:00 TikTok's new AI literacy hub and detection push00:26 The feature we all want: metering AI in your feed00:34 Meta's Muse Image and the automatic opt-in problem01:01 SAG-AFTRA and the fight over likeness rights01:23 Why TikTok's transparency matters even if nobody's the good guy01:40 From harmless puppy slop to dangerous crypto scams02:02 What's next and following up on the falloutKey Takeaways:TikTok launched an in-app AI literacy hub built with NAMLE and deepfake expert Henry Ajder to help users identify AI-generated contentTikTok has labeled over 3 billion videos as AI-generated and is testing a feature that lets users control how much AI appears in their feedMeta's Muse Image generator opted all public accounts in automatically, with the opt-out buried under the Sharing and Reuse section in settingsSAG-AFTRA and other unions are pushing back hard because the tool puts actors' likenesses up for grabsThe stakes escalate fast: harmless AI puppy videos are one thing, but AI-generated celebrity endorsements pushing crypto scams are a real threatNeither company is the good guy here, but transparency and consent should be the baseline for AI on social platformsMemorable Quotes:"TikTok spent the week telling everybody how to spot AI.

Sunscreen is essential when on holiday, and in the summer in general. But it doesn't come cheap, and often the contents aren't fully used by the time the holiday is over. It's tempting to reuse bottles from one year to the next, to save money and reduce waste. What many people don't know though is whether sunscreen remains effective once it's been opened, or whether using an out-of-date product is dangerous. How can I tell if my sunscreen has expired? What are the risks of using out-of-date sunscreen? What steps should I take to stay safe? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions! In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Welcome back to WE LOVE TO HATE EVERYTHING and another trip to Brown Town—this week we're going full detective mode with WIVES OUT, our Sister Wives mystery deep dive.This week's lineup:
Aviation Week reported that a rocket startup pursuing tower-catch recovery validated a pre-cooling ground campaign, signaling progress toward integrated hot-fire testing. Tower-catch aims to capture a booster with launch tower arms to save mass and speed turnaround. SpaceX popularized the concept for Super Heavy, while Stoke Space has described similar plans and conducted a second-stage vertical test at Moses Lake in September 2023, along with securing access to Launch Complex 14 at Cape Canaveral. Pre-cooling supports reliable cryogenic operations for liquid oxygen and methane by stabilizing temperatures and reducing thermal shock. Competing recovery strategies include Rocket Lab's ocean splashdown and engine reuse and Relativity Space's legged landings for Terran R. Regulatory coordination with the FAA and range operators, plus infrastructure upgrades, will shape tower-catch timelines and economics.Learn more on this news by visiting us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

IS there a ghost in our studio (Jo's attic)? No matter, because we're all about human spirit anyway - those big gestures by small businesses, small gestures by big names (that become big by association), distant communities bringing upcycling to a global audience. We needed to chat about nice things, and there are plenty of those within the circular and slow fashion movements.If you want a good rabbit hole on a gloomy day (or sweltering, depending on your hemisphere), look no further.Here's the gorgeous Anna Foster, founder of ELV Denim, better explaining the middle seam trick than Jo managed..“Our signature style with the four seams is not only an aesthetic design, but a functional one too. The seams allow for simple alterations (which is unheard of in denim), to achieve the desired fit, and the generous seam allowance – as with all couture tailoring – means that the jean can adapt with the life of the wearer; it can go up in size and down in size.” Oh! And we worked out why Jo wrote “still got it” in her notes! No, it wasn't a declaration of self-love but an Insta account to help her remember this post: Introducing Bone Bwoy and his incredible garments made from our dumped textile waste on the shores of Accra, Ghana, under the label Kala Blaq Kintsugi. Check out his Carry Your Future initiative here. We mention Tate Boswarva, a recent FDS Tafe graduate and Slogue mentor who showed an incredible collection of slow and circular pieces at Australian Fashion Week, and whose process went viral to the tune of 1.8 million views. It's so labour intensive it's (hopefully) dupe-proof…Keen to check out Ali's recommendation on online clothing patterns? Or what about Cassey Ho's Blogilates? Here's the One Direction What Makes You Bootyful workout for all y'all who want to imagine squeezing a penny between your butt cheeks :/ As for Ho's clever retaliation after her skorts were duped by an ultra fast fashion brand, we think all the ‘kits' are sold out but you can still purchase the pattern, and if you're an ‘alternative dance mum' like Jo, it could make for a great community project to save old dance skirts from landfill! Here's the story on the Billie Eilish recycled concert Tees… Watch this space and follow Anastasia Gazis for news on textiles recycling. And finally, check out Sheridan Mortlock's brand new Fixing Fashion podcast …For the moment Jo did the dirty on Ali with an “other”, here's their interview, the first in the series being all about Slogue and Flip Fashion Forever.So, until next time… This is a public episode.

Open Source draufschreiben und digitale Souveränität dazu sagen, fertig? Leider nicht. Gerade jetzt, wo Behörden, Unternehmen und Politik verstärkt über freie Software, Public Money, Public Code und europäische Unabhängigkeit sprechen, wird ein Problem immer sichtbarer: Open Washing. Produkte wirken offen, klingen nach Open Source und versprechen Kontrolle. Schaut man genauer hin, fehlen oft genau die Freiheiten, auf die es ankommt.In dieser Episode sprechen wir mit Johannes Näder von der Free Software Foundation Europe darüber, was freie Software wirklich bedeutet und warum die vier Freiheiten der entscheidende Maßstab sind. Wir klären, wie Open Washing funktioniert, warum Begriffe wie Source Available, Open Core oder souveräne Cloud schnell in die Irre führen können und weshalb digitale Souveränität ohne freie Software nicht funktioniert. Dazu schauen wir auf konkrete Beispiele aus der Praxis, von Bitwarden über ArangoDB bis hin zu öffentlichen IT-Projekten, und diskutieren, worauf Entwickler:innen, Verwaltungen und Beschaffungsstellen achten sollten.Wenn du wissen willst, wie du Open Washing erkennst, welche Red Flags es bei Lizenzen, Repositories und Enterprise-Modellen gibt und warum dieses Thema für Open Source, öffentliche Beschaffung und Europas Tech-Zukunft so relevant ist, bist du hier genau richtig.Bonus: Nach dieser Episode wirst du vermutlich nie wieder ganz entspannt auf eine Pricing-Page schauen.Unsere aktuellen Werbepartner findest du auf https://engineeringkiosk.dev/partnersDas schnelle Feedback zur Episode:

310 - From Airline Pilot to $1 Billion Self Storage Empire: Ryan Gibson's Blueprint for Passive Wealth What if the same checklist that keeps a commercial jet from crashing could also keep your real estate deals from blowing up your bank account? That is the mindset Ryan Gibson brought from the cockpit to the boardroom, and it is the difference between investors who build lasting wealth and those who get burned chasing the next shiny deal. In this episode, Ryan, president of Spartan Investment Group and co-host of Passive Income Pilots, breaks down the go or no-go framework he uses to evaluate every deal, the same discipline that keeps an airplane in the sky. He shares the 10/30/30/30 principle for structuring your net worth, explains why self-storage has outperformed every other asset class over the last 40 years at roughly 17 percent annually, and reveals how Spartan grew from a single house flip with his neighbor turned business partner into a billion-dollar portfolio spanning 15 states and over seven million square feet. He also gets into the strategy behind converting old retail boxes, including a former Kmart and Macy's, into thriving storage facilities, plus the surprising real-world hazards that come with owning thousands of storage units. This episode is essential listening for high-income professionals, especially airline pilots, who want true passive income without taking on a second job, as well as any real estate investor looking to diversify into a historically high-performing, recession-resistant asset class. If you have ever wondered how to evaluate a deal with the same clarity a pilot uses before takeoff, or whether self-storage deserves a spot in your portfolio, this conversation will change how you think about both. 5 Powerful Takeaways Learn the "extension clause" negotiating trick for 1031 exchanges that buys you extra time on the 45 and 180-day deadlines so you are never forced into a rushed, overpriced purchase. Discover the go/no go decision framework, borrowed directly from cockpit protocol, for knowing exactly when to walk away from a real estate deal and when you are too committed to turn back. Get the 10/30/30/30 net worth allocation strategy high-income earners use to balance liquidity, market growth, tax-advantaged real estate, and truly passive investments. Understand why self-storage has delivered roughly 17 percent average annual returns over 40 years, outperforming multifamily, data centers, and mobile home parks. Hear how a single house flip with a neighbor turned into a billion-dollar, 15-state self-storage portfolio, and what that growth story reveals about building investor trust early. 00:00 Show Intro 00:59 1031 Exchange Basics 03:22 Meet Ryan Gibson 04:51 1031 Exchange Pro Tip 07:00 From Pilot to Investor 11:32 Finding a Business Partner 13:55 Pilot Mindset for Deals 20:01 Leading Under Pressure 22:20 Passive Income Explained 24:12 10 30 30 30 Portfolio 28:33 1031 Legacy Planning 29:51 Why Self Storage Wins 33:00 Market Consolidation Play 36:14 Conversions and Reuse 37:32 Tax Foreclosure Surprises 40:34 Spartan Growth Plans 41:16 Wild Storage Stories 43:30 Badass Rapid Fire 48:34 Success Definition and Wrap About the Guest Ryan Gibson is a commercial airline pilot turned self-storage entrepreneur and president of Spartan Investment Group, now the 29th largest self-storage operator in the country with more than one billion dollars in capital organized across 15 states and over seven million square feet. He built Spartan alongside business partner and Army veteran Scott Lewis, growing the company from a single neighborhood flip into a major institutional-grade platform. Ryan also co-hosts the podcast Passive Income Pilots, where he teaches airline pilots and other high-income professionals how to build genuine passive income without adding a second job to their schedule. He applies the same disciplined, checklist-driven decision-making from his years in the cockpit to how he vets deals, operators, and markets today. More than 400 airline pilots have invested alongside him in Spartan's self-storage portfolio.

Hello! This is Episode 412. This is Way #12 of the 44 Ways to Create Your Sustainable Home series. We’re continuing through Section Three: Sustainable Services and Infrastructure. In Episode 411, we looked at where household water goes, especially in indoor use, and how to reduce consumption through fixture selection and design decisions. In this episode, we’re looking at the other side of that equation: not just using less water, but capturing and reusing the water that falls on and around your home. Way #12 is: Store and Reuse Water for Greater Water Saving. [For all resources mentioned in this podcast and a free, downloadable PDF transcript, head to www.undercoverarchitect.com/412] In this episode, I share information on rainwater harvesting, greywater systems, and what it looks like to meaningfully reduce, or in some cases almost eliminate, your home’s reliance on mains water for outdoor use. I’ll also share a little of my own experience with whole-of-home rainwater supply, as we’ve been living entirely on rainwater for over a decade now. As always, if you'd like to access a full transcript of this episode and links to any resources I mention, head to www.undercoverarchitect.com/412. Now, let's dive in!

What you'll learn… (00:12) Why design reuse is energy conservation — and IP management is energy management (05:15) How the shift from physical tape-ups to CAD opened the door to reusable design data (08:09) The electric car analogy: charging cheap vs. designing under pressure (11:32) War stories from the field: reverse-engineering an F-14 Tomcat board and the square-pin-in-a-round-hole disaster (17:07) What happens when every designer controls their own library — and why that's a nightmare (21:33) Family trees, variants, and the art of tracking design history across decades (25:47) Why even great processes break down — and the role of the resident expert in keeping libraries honest (30:26) The designer as cross-pollinator: bridging mechanical, electrical, and manufacturing worlds (38:19) AI as a routing engine: from overnight Cadnetics autorouting to Tesla autopilot — and what both teach us about human oversight More about the episode… In this episode of the Printed Circuit Podcast, host Steph Chavez welcomes Paul Fleming, Senior Printed Circuit Board Consultant and IPC-certified design instructor — a 45-year industry veteran who built his own PCB service bureau in San Diego before spending two decades as an application engineer across Cadnetics, Cadence, Mentor Graphics, and Siemens, and becoming an educator through the IPC Designer Council. The conversation tackles why design reuse and IP management are the hidden levers behind every fast, cost-efficient hardware program — and why neglecting them is a tax companies keep paying long after the original engineer has left. Paul frames it simply: decisions are energy, and every design artifact is either stored potential or future debt. War stories from a reverse-engineered F-14 Tomcat board to a connector library defect that cascaded across hundreds of shipped units make the stakes concrete. Paul also addresses the human side: the self-preservation instinct that fragments shared libraries, the management–engineering gap that lets bad habits compound, and why the PCB designer — bridging mechanical, electrical, and manufacturing domains — holds more organizational leverage than almost any other role on the product team. The episode closes with a candid take on AI: powerful when an experienced engineer is watching the road, dangerous when they're not.

Can Europe secure the critical raw materials it needs without stepping back from global trade? Recorded at the Circular Sovereignty Forum at IFAT Munich, with Susanne Kadner of Circular Republic, João Merico of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, and Roland Gauß of EIT Raw Materials, on the link between circularity, geopolitics, and supply security. What you'll hear in this episode: • What companies actually want from EU regulation: predictability above all. First movers need to know the rules they invested in will not be reversed by the next reform. • Why recycling alone will not close the gap. Reuse, leasing, and product as a service have to scale alongside it, even when fast innovation cycles make reusing yesterday's components harder. • Why venture money is shifting toward Europe as US green subsidies are rolled back, and where Europe still loses ground on a level playing field. The episode also covers Europe's urban mines and the secondary raw materials in them, and the case for diversifying supply rather than concentrating it on single suppliers.

Most school uniforms are retired while they are still perfectly wearable. Children cycle through them on a predictable annual schedule as they grow, which sends a steady stream of usable clothing toward the landfill at the same moment families on tight budgets are paying to replace what their kids have grown out of. The waste side of that equation is substantial: the EPA estimates Americans generated about 17 million tons of textiles in 2018, and roughly 11.3 million tons of it was landfilled. Ethan and Desmond Hua, brothers from San Mateo, California, looked at textile waste and the cost of raising a family and saw a single solvable loop. In 2020, while they were still in middle school, they founded the HOPE Uniforms Program — HOPE stands for Help Our Planet Earth — a student-led nonprofit that collects gently used school uniforms families have outgrown and redistributes them, free, to families who need them. What began in one elementary school, run out of the family garage, now serves about 10 schools across three districts. By the brothers' count, HOPE has kept more than 14,000 uniforms out of landfills, redistributed over 12,000 of them, and served more than 1,400 households, saving those families an estimated $141,000. On this episode of Sustainability In Your Ear, Ethan and Desmond discuss why reuse sits a rung above recycling, how two teenagers built a multilingual logistics operation with a live inventory system, and what it took to talk Costco into donating 2,000 new uniforms. Ethan's work has earned him a 2025 Gloria Barron Prize for Young Heroes and a Samaritan House Young Samaritan Award.The environmental case rests on a point that's easy to miss: the highest-value thing you can do with a garment is keep it whole and in use. What makes HOPE worth attention is the operations as much as the intent. The brothers engineered the return step directly into the model: families request uniforms through a website available in English, Spanish, and Mandarin Chinese; the uniforms are returned when kids outgrow them; and Ethan and Desmond spot-check and reissue them. That return loop, paired with a deliberate decision to treat families as repeat customers who deserve a dependable service, is what converts a one-time donation into a repeating cycle. The approach is also honest about scale — a garage operation in San Mateo County will not move the national textile-waste numbers on its own. The brothers' wager is replication; Ethan's dream is HOPE in another garage, and then another, and the model is plain enough for a motivated student in another district to copy. Whether thousands of small local loops can add up to a circular economy is the open question this conversation puts on the table.To find out more about HOPE — and to donate uniforms, request them, or start a program in your own community — visit hopeuniformsprogram.com and follow the program on Instagram, @hopeuniformsprogram.

In Episode 341, Kestrel welcomes Dr. Joanne Brasch, the Assistant Director at the California Product Stewardship Council (CPSC), to the show. A network of local governments, non-government organizations, businesses, and individuals supporting policies and projects where producers share in the responsibility for managing problem products at their end of life, CPSC is California's thought leader and expert on Product Stewardship and the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) movement. "We're most proud of our textile EPR program because we achieved a lot in SB 707 that set a new level, a new generation of EPR programs that take a higher priority and implement a lot more reuse and repair throughout the program." -Joanne THEME — EXTENDED PRODUCER RESPONSIBILITY & TEXTILE WASTE DIVERSION This episode is the second in our two-part series dedicated to exploring some of the layers around Extended Producer Responsibility, or EPR, and Textile Waste Diversion. In line with this conversation, I want to share about an upcoming event I'm collaborating on that's taking place in Los Angeles on June 10th. The Recovered Textile Exhibit is hosted by the City and County of Los Angeles, the California Product Stewardship Council, and the LA Cleantech Incubator. It's funded by CalRecycle, LA Sanitation, and others, and is in collaboration with Afflare.co and Fashion Is Outrageous. There will be keynote speakers, discussions, and interactive activities that my cofounder Gabi and I helped develop, all with a focus on textile circularity and diverting textiles from the landfill. Additionally, the PRO (Producer Responsibility Organization), Landbell, will be present at the event. If you're interested in attending, you can RSVP here. If you're able to join, I hope to see you there! On the last show, we touched on some of the big picture ideas around EPR, and many of the questions around how we can make these circular systems practical. On this week's episode, we're diving deep into the first-ever textile EPR bill in the U.S., SB 707: The Responsible Textile Recovery Act of 2024. While this isn't the first EPR policy to hit California or the nation, it is the first to cover TEXTILES. I chat with someone who played an integral role in the legislative process for the bill – we dive into more on their open-collaborative approach and the importance of community-informed programs, we explore what the "most diverse board requirements" means within the context of SB 707, we learn about how feedback played a distinct role in the legislative process including some from the Or Foundation, and we discuss some of the definitions within the bill like REUSE and RECYCLE, with a focus on unpacking the definition of REPAIR, which is the first global definition that includes upcycling. You will hear words and phrases like PRO, Needs Assessment, dynamic, legislative and regulatory process, and more. We do our best to help contextualize these definitions along the way, but if you have questions, let me know. I don't want this to feel like another policy conversation that leaves you in the dark – I want it to feel like you can feel welcomed into it, as this is a monumental bill for California and the sustainability and fashion industry as a whole. One of my favorite things about this bill is that it's DYNAMIC, meaning it will change over time, and be rewritten every 5 years, based on key findings and learnings. So remember – your voice can play an important role in how this bill continues to evolve moving forward. Also, to note – when this episode was recorded, our guest's new title had not yet been released publicly. Congrats to her, as she is now the Assistant Director – you'll actually hear her reveal it to us later on in the episode. Quotes and links from our conversation: "If we're shopping in a different way 20 years from now, this program can adapt to that because the plan is rewritten every five years and has evidence-based decision-making provisions within the program." -Joanne on why SB 707 being a dynamic bill matters "I think the open collaborative approach has really been making sure everyone is using the same language and understands the same process so we can get the best engagement now." -Joanne on CPSC's approach to developing community-informed programs "We know repair costs more. We know that it's labor intensive, but we also know, you know, it's a greater GHG reduction and opportunity to again create new products from existing materials." -Joanne on the importance of incentivizing repair in the bill Recovered Textile Exhibit, June 10th (2026) in Los Angeles, CA California Product Stewardship Website CPSC Instagram
Less than 2% of Americans can put plastic film in their curbside recycling bin, according to The Recycling Partnership. Meanwhile, the country generates millions of pounds of bags, pallet wrap, bubble mailers, and dry cleaner sleeves every year that machinery at materials recovery facilities is designed to reject. The plastic film problem has been the recycling industry's white whale for three decades — too contaminated for most processors, too light for most economics. But more than 30 years ago, Trex Company, then a small operation in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, decided to build its supply chain around exactly this material. By the end of 2024, Trex had upcycled more than 5.5 billion pounds of waste plastic film into composite decking and had become one of the largest plastic film recyclers in North America. On this episode of Sustainability In Your Ear, Amy Fernandez, Chief Legal and Sustainability Officer, and Zachary Lauer, Chief Operations Officer at Trex, discuss how the company designs an entire manufacturing process around feedstock variability, why Trex indexed its 2024 sustainability report to IFRS standards before any US regulator required it, and what has to happen for old Trex decks to become new Trex decks. Most manufacturers spend their engineering effort narrowing input tolerances. Trex went the other direction. Zach described thousands of recipes the production lines can run through, swapping between cleaner stretch film one day and heavily contaminated industrial trimmings the next. Artificial intelligence reads each feedstock stream in real time and adjusts extrusion temperatures and line speeds to keep the finished board within specification. In 2024, the company sourced over 1 billion pounds of reclaimed PE film and wood scrap, including 377 million pounds of waste plastic, through a national collection network of more than 10,000 retail drop-off locations and hundreds of school and community partners enrolled in its NexTrex program. The company is also preparing for the first generation of Trex decks, which are reaching replacement age, and its manufacturing lines can reabsorb the company's own boards. The recycling bottleneck is contractors pulling up old decks who don't want to sort screws from boards. Underneath all of it is a point worth lingering on: Trex's poly feedstock isn't priced off a barrel of crude, which means in a period of reshoring, tariff volatility, and oil-market disruption, recycled supply chains are structurally more stable than virgin ones, not less.To find out more about Trex and its sustainability work, visit trex.com. The 2024 Sustainability Report is available on the company's investor relations site.

Tonight on Hudson Mohawk Magazine, we hear part 2 from the rally calling for a moratorium on new Data Centers. Then, we talk with Veterans for Peace about their participation in Albany's Memorial Day Parade. Later on, in this week's Beyond the Brink, Rosemary Armao examines some of President Trump's many corruption scandals. After that, we have a live interview about a reUse center which is trying to take root and find a location in the capital region. Finally, Sina Basila Hickey talks to the Albany Pine Bush Preserve about the unique ecosystem of the Pine Bush– including the endangered karner blue butterfly– and what they offer. Hosts: Benno Green; Mark Dunlea Engineer: Joan Eason
A reUse center is trying to find a location in the capital region. Two of the organizers, Michael Rosenthal and Brigid Rockwell, spoke about the work that they are doing with Mark Dunlea and Benno Green for Hudson Mohawk Magazine.
In this episode, Cherise is joined by Justin Crane, FAIA, Principal, and Stefanie Greenfield, AIA, Principal at CambridgeSeven in Cambridge, Massachusetts. They discuss The Foundry, also in Cambridge, MA.You can see the project here as you listen along.The Foundry exemplifies a thoughtful approach to adaptive reuse, where the legacy of a 132-year-old industrial structure is carried forward through a renewed civic purpose. Once home to the Blake and Knowles Steam Pump Company and later a succession of utilitarian uses, the building has been transformed into a dynamic hub for arts, education, and entrepreneurship. The design resists the urge to overwrite history, instead preserving nearly 70 percent of the original fabric and allowing the building's industrial identity to remain present and legible.

Daniel Faigin emailed re: Android Shuffle Apps: "Marc: I primarily listen to music via my iPod Classic (extensive smart playlists, all on shuffle). But all my music (around 58,000 tracks), is on my Android phone, and there I used the Gone Mad Music Player. It can play the music downloaded to your device, and has a smart playlist equivalent to the iPod / iTunes capability. It's the backup for my iPod Classic. Just search for it on Google Play; it does require a small payment to support development and unlock full capabilities. Alas, fewer phone manufacturers are supporting an external memory card (critical when you have a lot of music) - - Samsung might at the lowest level, as well as Motorola. Other than that, you need more storage if you download music." Gershon commented on Patreon: "Sitting here in my favorite chair, listening to #754, two dogs at my feet, reading and sipping my evening tea I heard your commentary regarding our wayward President and feckless Congress. Thank you! You are on the right side of history. I appreciate this after the horrific week we've had. I am even prouder now to be a supporter and fan. Keep up the good work and make "good trouble."
Engel & Cabrera Present Boroughs & 'Burbs, the Real Estate Review
On Season 6, episode #234 of Boroughs and Burbs, we dive into one of the most important trends shaping today's built environment: adaptive reuse. Joined by Bob Diamond of Diamond Law Center, we explore how outdated office buildings, retail spaces, and industrial properties are being transformed into residential and mixed-use assets. As cities grapple with shifting work patterns and housing shortages, adaptive reuse offers both opportunity and complexity. Bob breaks down the legal frameworks, zoning hurdles, and regulatory challenges that can make or break these projects. From feasibility to financing, we examine what it takes to unlock value in existing structures—and why adaptive reuse is becoming a cornerstone of urban redevelopment.
