Here’s a great article from the author of “The Prize,” Daniel Yergin, outlining what he believes how the world’s energy transition has to happen.

Like “The Prize,” it’s a bit of a read but well worth the time. It talks about the economics of the whole issue. The bottom line is that solving global warming comes down to money. Eco Capitalism. In other words, a sustainable environment needs a sustainable business model.

Global warming is real. Climate change is real. And, contrary to what many people believe, the demand for reliable, consistent energy is real as well.

Shutting down pipelines & ceasing drilling projects and switching to wind and solar will not solve the problem. In fact, it’s only making things worse.  This great article from the Wall Street Journal yesterday, points out some interesting facts.

From the article: “OPEC estimates that global oil demand will increase 28% over the next two decades from pre-pandemic levels as low-income countries industrialize.”

Repurpose is just the same as recycle. Right?

We not only collect plastic from our recycling partners, we also collect geotextile underlay that is not recyclable in conventional terms. To ensure that it stays out of the landfills we developed a repurpose program that offers the geo for free to farmers, landscapers and land developers.

Over the last 2 years, the program has successfully kept over 250,000 pounds of usable geotextile out of the land fill. Recently, the volumes of this material have increased, and we need to find a good home for it!

The underlay has only been used once and is in great shape. It’s clean other than some dirt here and there. No contaminants. We have it ready to ship from our yards in Grande Prairie and Edson. We are offering the material at no cost, and can discuss delivery options as well.

If you can use this geotextile underlay, please contact Mike at: 587-439-8858

As we continue to make an impact on our environment, Rundle Eco Services is excited to share our impressive recycle numbers for the month in July!

This was a record month for pounds of collections, and we are pleased to demonstrate how our recycling efforts continue to keep plastic out of landfills.

Are you watching the Olympics this year? Have you ever thought about what the medals are made of?

In an effort to “create a lasting legacy and contribute to an environmentally friendly and sustainable society,” this year’s Tokyo Organizing Committee opted to make the gold, silver & bronze medals out of recycled electronics!

Do you wonder what is made from the material we collect and recycle? Let us explain!

The recycling process is:

♻️ Shred bulk into smaller more manageable pieces

♻️ Clean material of contaminants

♻️ Process clean sched into flakes

♻️ Process flake into pellets

The bulk of the plastic is LLDPE, and the finished LLDPE pellets are sold to manufacturers that extrude a finished product. Recycled LLDPE pellets are usually mixed with virgin resign to create a hybrid pellet.

Then, the majority of the finished hybrid pellets are used as feedstock for landscape edging sold in stores such as Home Depot and Lowes!
