Niger Community Residents Decry Life-Threatening Air Pollution From Plastics Melting, Recycling Factory Residents of Gidan Madara, behind Tradefair Complex in Minna, Niger State, have alleged life-threatening pollution from a factory which they claim has mutated into a full-scale plastics melting and recycling facility within their residential area. The community in a petition made available to Saharareporters on Friday said the factory, originally a water processing plant, now melts and recycles all grades of plastics, releasing toxic fumes, soot, and chemicals. They added that repeated complaints to the factory owner and environmental authorities since 2019 have yielded no action. In their petition to the Niger State House of Assembly and the Commissioner for Environment and Climate Change, residents outlined the risks posed by the facility. They asked for immediate intervention to protect lives: "This letter is a special appeal to the Commissioner for urgent intervention to shut down Golden Age Plastics melting and Recycling facility, to save the Residents of Gidan Madara and Dadin Kowa communities from premature deaths resulting from inhalation of noxious chemicals plastics fumes and soot, emanating from Golden Age Water Factory; which has mutated from water processing factory to plastics junk yard, where all grades of plastics wastes are melted and recycled in residential area, with utter disregard to...

'Wash Water' Used When Recycling Plastics May Warrant Closer Scrutiny Newswise — Washington D.C. – Recycling is one answer to the growth in plastic waste but treating “wash water” used to clean recycled plastic before re-use can produce safer recycled plastics, according to a new study. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has set a goal to achieve a plastic recycling rate of up to 50% by 2030 which would involve an 8- to 10-fold increase in recycling efforts to meet the challenge. Plastic packaging waste streams generally contain different polymers and impurities including paper, organic residues, adhesives, metals, glass and inks. The contaminants and the additives present in these polymers include plasticizers, antioxidants, colorants, light and heat stabilizers, lubricants, antistatic agents, slip compounds, heavy metals and other chemicals. A new study by Iowa State University researchers examines various techniques for washing post-consumer plastics before they are re-used and identifies potential chemicals of concern. The research was supported by IAFNS’ Food Packaging Safety & Sustainability Committee. The study focuses on contaminants in post-consumer polypropylene wash water with the aim of making recycling processes more effective, sustainable and safer by lowering potential exposure to harmful chemicals. Polypropylene is a versatile plastic that is used for a wide range of applications including...

Chemical recycling of hydrofluorocarbons by transfer fluorination Fluorine-containing molecules and materials are embedded in modern society and improve our quality of life. They find applications as refrigerants, foaming agents, insulating materials, coatings, active pharmaceutical ingredients and agrochemicals1. Fluorocarbons have historically been created from fluorspar (CaF2) through generation of the toxic and corrosive intermediate hydrofluoric acid. Elegant methods have emerged, however, for the direct production of fluorocarbons from fluorspar2,3. Nevertheless, fluorspar is classified as a critical raw material and fluorine-containing products are often single use and many end up in the environment, where they can contribute to climate breakdown and negative health outcomes4. For example, third generation refrigerants are volatile hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) that have long atmospheric lifetimes and high global warming potentials, meaning that they effectively contribute to climate change5. Per(fluoroalkyl) and poly(fluoroalkyl) substances (PFAS), such as perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), are damaging to health and can potentially contaminate water supplies and food chains6. Concerns over the negative impact of fluorochemicals has led to the proposal of REACH (registration, evaluation, authorization and restriction of chemicals) legislation, which would categorize all compounds containing –CF3 and –CF2– groups (when not connected to H, Cl, Br or I atoms) as PFAS7. If we are to continue to rely on fluorochemicals to improve...

Questions about paper recycling may not matter to you if you have a wood stove and it is heating season. It is financially and ecologically better to burn paper to heat the building it is in than to transport it elsewhere for the 50% chance of being recycled. #recycling #marchoftrash

Determination pays off! I enter that completely fenced area in District S to find the final items for two more quests, and get all the mascots to maximum life satisfaction. I also start cleaning up this trashy little town.
