Oil
Recycling Judicial Review Set for November 2006
In
our previous article on the Waste Incineration Directive (March
Issue) we detailed how the Incineration Directive would effect
the Waste Oil collection Industry and how England and Wales
would deal with their waste oil as it could no longer be burnt
as a fuel and used as a feedstock in power generators.
How
are you dealing with your Bumpers?
Recycling plastics can, in many cases, significantly
reduce the consumption of resources and emissions to the
environment.
Plastics
recycling can conserve energy and non-renewable resources
as recycling replaces the need for primary extraction and
manufacture of new plastics.
Recycling a single plastic bottle can conserve enough energy
to light a 60W light bulb for up to 6 hours. This assessment
takes into account all the significant resources required
from the point of collecting the plastic bottle in a bottle
bank to the production of a recycled pellet capable of being
used in place of virgin plastic.
Do
you know the fate of your waste?
Have you
ever wondered what actually happens to the waste that is collected
from your sites. Well below you may find your answers. Although
the industry is being continuously encouraged to provide better
alternatives to deal with our waste through incentives and
new legislation.

Air Conditioning...Are you
disposing of you bottles legally?
In
1820, British Scientist and inventor Michael Faraday discovered
that compressing and liquefying ammonia could chill air
when the liquefied ammonia was allowed to evaporate.
In
1842, Florida physician Dr John Gorrie used compressor technology
to create ice, which he used to cool air for his patients
in his hospital in Apalachicola, Florida. He hoped eventually
to use his ice-making machine to regulate the temperature
of buildings.
