AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoLocal Recycling: Columbia has opened a second free glass drop-off site, while Wawa plans to launch curbside recycling on Nov. 17, with collections every other week. Battery Recovery: UK recycler Recyclus landed its largest contract yet, a three-year deal to process EV batteries. Researchers at Worcester Polytechnic Institute also report that materials upcycled from mixed battery waste produced pouch cells that outlasted commercial counterparts. Organics: Rotorua diverted 180 tonnes of food and garden waste from landfill in the first two weeks of its new collection service, sending it for processing into energy and fertiliser. E-Waste: Africa generated about 3.5 million tonnes of electronic waste in 2022, but less than 1% was documented as formally collected and recycled; experts see digital tracking and better integration of informal collectors as part of the response. Recycling Markets: Industry discussion points to weak end-market demand as a key obstacle, underscoring that collection and sorting alone cannot make recycling systems work.
