The plastic industry knowingly pushed recycling myth for decades, new report finds https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/the-plastic-industry-knowingly-pushed-recycling-myth-for-decades-new-report-finds

Of course...one must be very skeptical when the companies producing plastic are so keen about "recycling". Of course they like these programs even if they do not work (which is the case today) since it allows them to produce more plastic and make more profits.

Recycling is only relevant when there is not a huge incentive to produce waste in the first place.

Support-Ende von Windows 10 soll für gigantischen Müllberg sorgen

Am 14. Oktober 2025 wird der Support von Windows 10 eingestellt. Das könnte dazu führen, dass rund 240 Millionen PCs als Elektroschrott auf einer Mülldeponie landen, wie Analyseunternehmen Canalys befürchtet. Wären alles diese Geräte aufeinandergestapelte Laptops, wäre der Stapel in etwa 4.080 Kilometer hoch. Das sind rund 600 Kilometer mehr als der Durchmesser des Mondes.

How to do things with your old accounting records (an old roll of accounts repurposed as a flyleaf in the Cartulary of Lacock Abbey). #MedievalManuscripts #Manuscripts #Fragmentology #Recycling

Photo of part of a leaf from a medieval manuscript: folio i recto in British Library, Additional manuscript 88974. The leaf, a recycled page from a roll of accounts, bears two dozen lines of Latin text copied in dark brown ink, laid out in several staggered columns of varying width and height. The parchment on which the text is copied is in poor condition: discoloured and crumpled, with ink worn away in places, and marked by several deep folds, a small tear, and regions of pronounced grain patterning visible as patches of slightly darker stippling. The infelicities create a strange beauty.
