Do you remember the REDcycle Fiasco where the supermarkets stockpiled warehouses of soft plastics that couldn't be recycled? Well, there's now an environmentally friendly way to recycle them.

Plastic Back has developed an environmentally friendly technology for converting plastic waste back into crude oil and other valuable chemicals. Based on this technology, Plastic Back has created a conversion unit that enables waste treatment and disposal sites to reduce the amount of waste put in landfills.

The company's solution also provides waste producers such as factories, agriculture operations, and hospitals with an alternative to costly waste removal and treatment service.

Fossil Fuel Phase-out or Phase-down?

Capturing the CoP28 headlines - the debate over whether a “fossil fuel phase out” is actually scientifically called for? A webinar involving Climate Elder Mary Robinson had COP President Al Jabar arguing that there is “no science” that links a fossil fuel phase out to maintaining 1.5 degrees. But, he later reinforced that he believes “the phase-down and the phase-out of fossil fuel is inevitable.”https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/dec/03/back-into-caves-cop28-president-dismisses-phase-out-of-fossil-fuelsThe IPCC scenarios call for a full phase out of unabated coal, and a decrease in Oil by 60% and Gas by 45% by 2050.Read about what's possible:

The real Climate leaders at CoP28?

CoP28 outcomes will depend on key people - climate champions like John Kerry for the USA & Xie Zhenhua for China, for instance. Together, they vowed to “triple renewable energy capacity globally by 2030” prior to the Conference:https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/nov/15/us-china-climate-plan-analysisFor Brazil, it is their new President Lula da Silva (in frame above) who wants to lead the world with a climate agenda as central to government policy. And we hear that the Amazonian deforestation is reportedly slowing. But he is still encouraging Brazil's oil and gas industries to expand:
