Today the National Transportation Safety Board is meeting to finalize its report and recommendations on the Norfolk Southern Train Derailment Investigation in #EastPalestine, Ohio. Don't miss our joint Toxic-Free Future and Beyond Plastics media advisory, in the link below. My quote from it: "The vinyl chloride disaster that struck East Palestine last year is a painful reminder of the dangers of PVC plastic. Our research has shown that this was not an isolated incident, and that it is only a matter of time before another community is harmed once again by this cancer-causing chemical. While rail reform is critically important, it is also essential to advance common sense governmental and corporate policies to ban vinyl chloride and PVC, the poison plastic. Home improvement stores carry numerous products and packaging made from PVC. Corporations, including the world’s largest home improvement chain, The Home Depot, can help turn the tide on PVC plastic pollution by phasing out this poison plastic and transitioning to safer materials. We also need action at all levels of government. States like Washington and California are now considering regulations and laws to ban vinyl chloride and PVC. At the federal level, it’s time for the EPA to ban vinyl chloride once and for all. We owe it to the people of East Palestine, Ohio and surrounding communities to ensure no other community has to suffer like this again." #NTSB #Vinyl #HomeDepot #TheHomeDepot #PVC #Plastics https://lnkd.in/gsByuXVc

Plastic Wet Wipes To Be Banned, the attached is an opinion piece ref wet wipes and the pump industry from 2019. The governments of the UK, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have confirmed they will ban the supply and sale of wet wipes containing plastic by the end of the year. As well as preventing sewer blockages, the ban will reduce litter and microplastics entering waterways. Each administration will act separately, and there will be an 18-month transition period in each case. UK manufacturers will continue to be able to produce wipes containing plastic for export. Exemptions will be made in the UK for medical and industrial purposes. The governments said 95% of respondents to the October consultation supported the action.  https://lnkd.in/gKDPPev8 #wetwipes #waronplastic #ditchthewipes #plastic #plasticpollution #environmental #plasticfree #fatbergs #cleanoceans #cleanbeaches #sewagetreatmentworks #wastewater #sewagepump #pumping #pumps #pumping

As the weather forecast has heavy rain for much of the UK today, I decided to show you just how much water an Avermann Group Sebright Products, Inc. DRAM can remove from soaking wet, shredded plastic. In a single pass this remarkable machine reduces the weight of this material by over 60%, leaving it with under 15% moisture content, which is effectively, bone dry. This enables huge volumes of water to be reused and and the price per tonne to handle store and transport the dry product to be significantly reduced. There are hundreds of these machines all around the world dewatering waste for incineration, pulp and light rejects at paper mills, insulation and other fibreous materials carried by liquids in manufacturing and more. We even had an enquiry this week to separate waste cooking oil from filter paper. If your operation is paying to handle, transport or dispose of wet materials, why not see if we can help you save money, reduce handling and recover resources? What can we help you save? 01732 85 22 44 sales@compactandbale.com #papermill #paperindustry #packaging #plastics #cookingoil #waste #insulation

Green steel has emerged as a promising solution to reduce the carbon footprint of the steel industry, but the lack of standardized definitions and regulations has led to concerns about “greenwashing.” https://lnkd.in/dJW4vgq4

In Ottawa, the #INC4 discussions about the #PlasticsTreaty began today. Our team, as well as members of the vinyl industry, are on site advocating for our industry and educating delegates on the importance of PVC products in achieving critical United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. We all want to reduce plastic waste, but there is no denying that PVC products are vital for so many applications - including safe drinking water delivery, construction, and healthcare!

How to quickly separate waste aluminum and plastic

Can mastering moisture be the key to perfecting plastic production? Mastering moisture control is pivotal in the plastic industry, where even slight variations can impact product quality profoundly. Excess moisture in plastic materials can lead to defects such as bubbles, surface imperfections, and reduced mechanical strength during processing. Innovative solutions like real-time humidity monitoring systems and advanced drying technologies are now integral to maintaining optimal conditions throughout production. These advancements not only enhance product consistency and performance but also contribute to operational efficiency and sustainability by minimizing material waste and energy consumption.  Effective moisture management with Bry-Air's Dehumidifiers continues to be a cornerstone of modern plastic manufacturing, ensuring that final products meet stringent quality standards across diverse applications.
