Edward Wallace+FollowCoke’s $1M Bet: Can It Fix Plastic Waste?Coca-Cola just dropped $1 million to help clean up its plastic mess, teaming up with nonprofits to boost recycling in places like Turkey and Saudi Arabia. They’re giving cash to startups and groups with smart ideas to cut down on plastic trash—think better recycling bins and teaching folks how to ditch single-use bottles. After getting called out as a top plastic polluter (and even sued), Coke’s hoping this move will help the planet—and its reputation. Would you recycle more if big brands made it easier? #CocaCola #PlasticWaste #Recycling #Business #EntrepreneurshipStartup34Share
Bethany Rivera+FollowCan AI X-rays Stop Battery Fires?Ever wonder if smarter tech could make recycling safer? A German team is rolling out DangerSort, an X-ray and artificial intelligence-powered system that scans waste for hidden lithium-ion batteries—the main culprits behind recycling plant fires. Imagine airport-style scanners on conveyor belts, spotting hazards before disaster strikes. Would this kind of innovation make you more likely to recycle your old gadgets? Or is convenience still king? Let’s debate what would actually change our habits. #TechInnovation #Recycling #FireSafety #Tech00Share
Nicholas Coleman+FollowWhat Happens to Old EV Batteries?Ever wonder where all those old electric car batteries go? Aussie experts say we could reuse or recycle them to cut down on electronic junk piling up. Imagine your EV battery powering a golf cart or your home’s backup power! But here’s the catch: most batteries are locked up tight, making it tough to check if they’re still good. If car makers shared battery info, we could get way more out of them—and keep a lot of waste out of landfills. #EVbatteries #Recycling #SustainableLiving #Business21Share
rgallagher+FollowThis EV Is Made From Flax?!Liux, a Spanish startup, just dropped a wild new EV prototype called BIG—and it’s mostly made from flax fiber and recyclable resin. Not only does it look futuristic, but it’s also designed to be fully recycled at the end of its life. The eco-friendly materials cut CO2 emissions by up to 80% compared to gas SUVs. Production is ramping up, and they’re aiming for thousands of these sustainable rides on the road by 2028. Would you drive a car made from plants? #EVs #Sustainability #Innovation #GreenTech #Recycling #Cars00Share
Jose Brown+FollowWhat’s Really Happening to Your Old Clothes?Turns out, a TON of clothing waste from Bangladesh (the world’s #2 textile exporter!) isn’t being recycled—and the process is so murky, even brands can’t track where scraps go. The EU wants stricter recycling laws, but Bangladesh’s system is tough to regulate. Meanwhile, India’s already recycling 60% of its textile waste! If Bangladesh steps up, it could save $700M a year and help the planet. Would cash, trade-ins, or convenience get you to recycle your old clothes? #SustainableFashion #TextileWaste #EcoFriendly #Bangladesh #Recycling #Beauty00Share
Gary Dunlap+FollowCoke’s Big Bottle Glow-Up 🍾Coca-Cola is shaking things up at stadiums and theme parks with major bottle changes—and fans are noticing! They’re rolling out 100% recycled plastic bottles (well, except for the caps and labels) and using smart recycling tech to cut down on waste. Last year alone, they collected nearly a billion bottles through new partnerships. But here’s the tea: Coke’s still the world’s biggest plastic polluter, so these moves are a big deal. Will it be enough to clean up their act? #Sustainability #PlasticWaste #CocaCola #EcoFriendly #Recycling #Safety10Share
Richard Jones+FollowWhy Your Old Clothes Aren’t Really RecycledEver thought your donated clothes were getting a second life? Turns out, only 1% of Europe’s textile waste is actually recycled into new fibers! Most of our old clothes end up shipped overseas or shredded into low-quality stuff like car rags. The tech to recycle better exists, but it’s just too expensive right now. If we invested more, up to 70% could be recycled! Until then, thrifting and buying secondhand is the move—plus, it can save you serious cash. Wild, right? #TextileWaste #SustainableFashion #Thrifting #Recycling #FastFashion #Safety90Share
Kim Reeves+FollowCoke Bottles Get a Green Makeover—But Will It Stick?Coca-Cola just switched all its bottles and cans to fully recyclable materials—way ahead of schedule! Sounds awesome, right? But here’s the catch: while the packaging is greener, Coke still struggles to actually collect and recycle all those empties, especially in places without good recycling systems. So, next time you grab a Coke, remember: tossing that bottle in the right bin matters more than ever! #CocaCola #Sustainability #Recycling #EcoFriendly #LifeHacks #Business00Share
