  11. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: ♻️🔥 #Chemical engineers at the University of #Surrey made a proof-of-concept #plastic that turns to gas at about 90º C and reassembles into a solid as it cools.

    A #London-based lab demonstrated the polymer’s reversible behavior by coating paper and then heating the coating away. The team frames the material not as a fix for #pollution but as a step toward more recyclable plastics.

  12. » Nie wieder Gummiringe kaufen! «

    Ihr habt einen platten Fahrradreifen und der Schlauch ist nicht mehr zu gebrauchen?

    Werft ihn nicht weg!Ihr könnt den Schlauch beispielsweise zu kleinen Ringen zerschneiden und diese als ganz normale Gummir

  14. Underway, #Knirps spotted this tractor and demanded we rescue it, so I pulled it out and chucked it in the trunk.

    Going to need some cleanup and repairs, I think.

  15. Research - #RainBarrels and Other Household Stormwater Strategies Are Working — For Now.

    May 5, 2026

    Excerpt: " 'When we talk about #CircularEconomy, most people think about #recycling waste and materials. But the concept of circular economy also applies to water. Here we're talking about installing #rainwater #cisterns, reusing water from the sink to flush toilets and using water-efficient appliances. While those may seem like small steps at the individual level, we found that if they are widely adopted, they can have a significant collective impact,' said Fernanda Cruz Rios, PhD, an assistant professor in the College of Engineering, who was a co-author of the research. 'They help reduce demand on the municipal supply, and the energy needed to treat and distribute that water. But what we found was that these strategies offer a real double benefit. In areas like #PhiladelphiaPA and #CamdenME, that are particularly vulnerable due to their proximity to large bodies of water, we were able to see a meaningful reduction in flooding volumes when circular water strategies were adopted.'

    "Despite the ongoing compliance efforts, the cities of Philadelphia and Camden have around 16 billion gallons of combined #sewer overflow, according to reports from their respective water utilities.

    "Over the last two and a half decades, Camden has established a stormwater management plan, including decentralized strategies, an upgrade to #stormwater infrastructure and storm water management modeling. To understand the overall impact of these efforts, in hopes of applying findings to other vulnerable urban areas, the Drexel team created a computer model of stormwater movement using data from Cramer Hill, a neighborhood of Camden in the state’s 'coastal hazard zone' that is highly susceptible to tidal and storm-surge flooding.

    "The researchers structured the model so that it could quantify the distinct effects of outdoor strategies (cisterns and rain barrels) and indoor strategies — efficient fixtures and reusing sink wash water (#greywater) for toilet flushing. It simulated and measured the effect of 16 different combinations of strategies, ranging from rain barrels of different sizes, to varying levels of adoption of water-efficient fixtures and greywater reuse.

    "Each scenario was simulated using precipitation and tidal data from 2014 as a baseline and flooding measurements projected at locations across the neighborhood and at five stormwater outfall areas that contribute to combined sewer overflow discharges into the #DelawareRiver.

    The results show that the combination of retrofitting homes with #WaterEfficientFixtures as well as installing rain barrels and practicing greywater reuse, when adopted by 75% of households, could reduce the volume of combined sewer overflows by as much as 11% and the volume of #floodwaters by up to 13%.

    " 'This finding is an important and encouraging piece of information for municipalities that are facing similar challenges,' Marques said. 'Although broad adoption of these measures can be challenging to achieve, confirmation of its effectiveness may help to make the case.' "

  16. "Neben den finanziellen Einsparungen verringert das Verfahren auch den Wasserverbrauch und den Ausstoß von Luftschadstoffen deutlich. In praktischen Tests erreichten die behandelten Akkus selbst nach einem zweiten Regenerationszyklus noch 90 Prozent ihrer ursprünglichen Leistung. Das könnte den Materialkreislauf in der Batterieproduktion massiv verkürzen und die Abhängigkeit von knappen Rohstoffen verringern. "

  17. Ja, @vgoller - so ist es.

    Deswegen hatte auch "meine" CDU in ihren bisher besten Zeiten die ökologische und soziale Marktwirtschaft 1994 in ihr Grundsatzprogramm aufgenommen, bevor sich konservatives und fossiles Geschwurbel wieder durchsetzte.

    Ich trat damals und trete bis heute für eine kluge, ökologische und soziale Marktwirtschaft als Wirtschaftsmodell der Zukunft ein. Das läuft dann nämlich auf kluge Bildung, erneuerbare Friedens-, Heimat- und Wohlstandsenergien, Recycling, eine nachhaltige Kreislaufwirtschaft & Landwirtschaft hinaus. Kurz: Auf ein gutes Leben! Schwer, aber nicht unmöglich zu erreichen.

    Entsprechende Textauszüge aus dem damaligen Programm habe ich hier gebloggt.
