The Impact of E-Waste / Student Art Guide

Certain requirements must be met for recycling to be economically feasible and environmentally effective. These include an adequate source of recyclates, a system to extract those recyclates from the waste stream, a nearby factory capable of reprocessing the recyclates, and a potential demand for the recycled products. These last two requirements are often overlooked—without both an industrial market for production using the collected materials and a consumer market for the manufactured goods, recycling is incomplete and in fact only “collection”.

Today at 11 AM/E we examine the state of best practice literature – including government regulations — that apply to education communities.

Today at 11 AM/ET  we host an open agenda for consensus products setting the standard of care across the full span of technologies relevant to the safety and sustainability agenda of the education facility industry.   On “continuous maintenance” standards development platforms, for example, exposure drafts are open for comment for as little as 30 to 45 days.  There is scant time to respond to the call for public comment.  We set aside one session per month to review and respond.
