Today’s Solutions: March 29, 2024

The amount of waste created by humans, the emissions that come with it and the price of disposing it are rising at an alarming, unsustainable rate, but new advanced technology offers an array of solutions to turning waste into something useful. One of such examples is US-based Ener-Core which has built installations in the Netherlands that convert the emitted methane into electricity to power homes. If implemented globally in the world’s biggest landfills, then we could pluck high amounts of methane out of the atmosphere for greater use. In Portugal, “smart” bins using radio frequency identification tags are helping reduce the amount of waste in landfills by recycling more by scanning and weighing bins, analyzing the data, and charging you for un-recycled waste, a strategy that has supposedly increased recycling by 7-10%. Here some other ingenious solutions that are on the rise to help save our world.
