Recycling

Recycling bins are seen at the Centre for Alternative Technology in Machynlleth, Wales March 25, 2010. The Centre for Alternative Technology (CAT), a sprawling eco-complex set up during the 1974 oil crisis, will publish proposals in June to eliminate emissions from oil, gas and coal. While Britain was the first country to set legally-binding targets to cut emissions, by 80 percent from 1990 levels by 2050, CAT’s strategy goes even further. Picture taken March 25, 2010.

A worker scoops industrial scrap materials, collected from discarded electronic items, at Dowa Holdings Co’s Eco-System Recycling Co, a recycling plant, in Honjo, north of Tokyo March 28, 2008. Thinking of throwing out your old cell phone? Think again. Maybe you should mine it first for gold, silver, copper and a host of other metals embedded in the electronics — many of which are enjoying near-record prices. It’s called “urban mining”, scavenging through the scrap metal in old electronic products in search of such gems as iridium and gold, and it is a growth industry around the world as metal prices skyrocket.

A garbage collector in Taipei separates bones from recyclable kitchen waste April 1, 2005. Starting this day, residents in 10 Taiwan cities and counties have to separate their litter into recyclables, kitchen scraps and non-recyclable waste or risk fines of up to T$6,000 ($190). The new policy is part of a government drive to cut down on garbage as the island is rapidly running out of space to dump trash. Picture taken April 1, 2005. REUTERS/Richard Chung TW/YH
