J'apprends que le #lait d'ici (euh, ici se trouve quand même à une belle distance de chez moi... L'#Oise n'est pas voisine de l'#Ain, combien de #CO2 est gaspillé en #transportroutier ?) est #recyclable. Du lait #recyclable 2 étoiles ? Vraiment ?

De plus, le #tri serait #trifacile... Il suffit de séparer le film de la brique avant de trier ? Mais qui va essayer de séparer ces 2 ? #foutagedegueule

The next-generation #SolarCell is fully #recyclable

Anders Törneholm

"In a study published in Nature, researchers at Linköping University have developed a method to recycle all parts of a solar cell repeatedly without environmentally hazardous #solvents. The recycled solar cell has the same efficiency as the original one. The solar cell is made of #perovskite and the main solvent is water."

The next-generation solar cell is fully recyclable

In a study published in Nature, researchers at LiU have developed a method to recycle all parts of a perovskite solar cell repeatedly without environmentally hazardous solvents. The recycled solar cell has the same efficiency as the original one.

Ultra-light, low-speed, short-range #MicroEVs should not be built with carbon fiber composites—which are not and never will be #sustainable, by their very nature, despite their strength/weight ratio.

They should be built with 100% #recyclable #steel and #aluminium #bicycle (or at most #motorcycle) #technology, with #replaceable, #biodegradeable plastics where it makes sense (like body shells), and #natural #materials where possible (like #textiles).
