  1. 🤦 In Germany, you can label #plastic cutlery and cups as #reusable and keep selling it despite the 🇪🇺 #SingleUse Plastic Directive that went into force in 2021. This highlights that new regulation only makes sense if accompanied by compliance mechanisms!

  2. The #Nutcracker: A Timeless #Tool with Modern Uses and Appeal

    September 22, 2024 by Mahtab Hussain

    Excerpt: "The Nut cracker’s Future in #Sustainability

    "As more people become #environmentally conscious, there is a growing appreciation for #reusable, long-lasting tools like the nutcracker. In a world filled with #disposable gadgets, a well-made nutcracker can last for years, reducing the need for wasteful packaging of pre-shelled nuts.

    "Additionally, many nut crackers are made from sustainable materials such as wood or metal, which aligns with eco-friendly living practices."

  3. The primary obstacle has always been #LaunchCost, but the advent of #reusable ♻️ rockets is rapidly changing the economics of space access, making the financial case for #SBSP increasingly attractive weforum.org/stories/2025/10/sp

  6. #SpacePolitics
    “It got funded as a #rocket to #nowhere, and we at #NASA had to figure out something to do with it,” #Garver says. Legacy contractors like #Boeing continued to receive large bonus payments 💰 for working on the #SLS, despite delays and mushrooming #costs.
    Critics of the #SLS argue that the rocket is #unsustainable by #design, relying on an old and potentially quite #expensive way to get to #space. Much of SLS is a holdover from the #spaceshuttle. But while the shuttle #orbiter, #engines, and external #tanks were designed to be #reusable, SLS and its engines were not.

    “They’ve designed a rocket that is basically #unsustainable, because it’s completely #throwaway. The only bit that comes back is #Orion

    “Depending on how you look at it, the #SLS is either a product of a #broken #system that curries #favor to #wealthy 💰 industries or an example of representative #democracy working as it should,” technologyreview.com/2023/01/0

  7. Space-based solar ☀️ power (#SBSP) - beaming clean #energy to #Earth from orbital #solar farms.

    The #UK 🇬🇧, #US 🇺🇸 and #Chinese 🇨🇳 governments are funding research, #ESA 🇪🇺 has approved a 3-year study named #Solaris.

    One reason that #SPSB is back on the agenda is the plummeting #cost per kilogram of launching #payloads into #space.
    Thanks to #reusable #rockets, this figure has fallen nearly 20-fold in two decades, while solar panels have become #lighter. abc.net.au/news/science/2022-1
