UK supermarket giants Waitrose plus recycling specialists Cawleys have both been awarded by the Association for Organics Recycling for their pioneering waste-to-energy recycling scheme, where food waste is sent for conversion to energy and given to the national grid. Currently, Waitrose has produced an overall total of 400 megawatt hours of electrical power using the method, more than enough to boil just about eight million kettles.

The method, called anaerobic digestion, employs microorganisms to break down biodegradable material. The procedure yields a methane-rich bio-gas, which may be converted into heat and electricity. The broken-down food product will then be turned into fertiliser. The process eliminates the requirement to send waste to landfill, reducing greenhouse gases as well as other costs.

Jon Cawley, Managing Director of Cawleys, said: “Waitrose has pioneered the use of anaerobic digestion in the retail market, showing that retailers can make positive environmental changes at all stages in the food chain, treating food waste management as seriously as food sourcing.”

By May, it is anticipated that more than half of Waitrose’s waste will go to the program, with a target of 95% by 2013. Waitrose Recycling & Waste manager, Arthur Sayer says: “We work to reduce the amount of waste we produce, as it’s not in our business interest to produce any waste at all. Inevitably though some food waste does occur and AD has proven to be a sustainable way of eliminating the need to send it to landfill, reducing our impact on the environment and creating renewable energy along the way.”

There is a new Mobile Phone Recycling website available called RPC Recycle. They claim to guarantee that they offer the best prices for or old mobile phones and from taking a look at the site, they are very competitive.  So take a look at RPC Recycle to find out more, below we have given a brief outline of how the process will work.

Sell Mobile Phones At RPC Recycling

First, what you need to do is search for the mobile phone you wish to recycle by either make or model number to see what RPC Recycle will pay you. If you are unsure of the model of your phone it can be found by looking at the IMEI label underneath the battery

Then if you are pleased with what they are offering, simply register or sign into your account to complete your sale. Depending on the postal method you select they will then send you a free post or recorded delivery envelope to post your mobile phone back to them. If you have a higher value mobile phone handset you should use the recorded delivery option.

Before sending your phone for recycling, just remember to remove your Sim card from your handset and save any data you may want to keep. I would also recomend that you wipe the internal memory also, just to be safe.

When they have recieved your mobile phone, a member of there staff will check that the mobile phone meets our working order criteria. When and if it does, they will then send you a cheque for the value of recycling your mobile phone within 48 hours of the order being completed – thats fast.

This is the best time to Sell Gold For Cash. The World Gold Council (WGC) has said that the demand for gold has drastically fallen thanks to the record yellow metal price. However, the speculative activity in gold futures market is keeping the yellow metal prices at higher levels. This does not mean the gold will always stay at these high prices, and it is purely being manipulated by investors looking to make money in the future.. So this could be a great time to move on your scrap gold and Sell Scrap Gold online, as we have leanred to our cost in the past – Investor do not have a magic ball and often get things very, very wrong.

I heard today on Talksport Radio from a financial expert that gold prices are expected to carry on going up and could reach $1500 by 2011. This will happen as the price of all commodities will rise due to the potential growth of emerging markets. I think this is why Cash For Gold websites are being so agreesive with there buying of gold – they know it is going to be very valuable in the future – well maybe not know, as no one really know, but these are good indicators.

Supermarket giants Tesco has just announced that it has joined the BatteryBack recycling scheme. Tesco will place battery recycling points in all Tesco stores nationwide to allow their customers to dispose of their old batteries in a way that is safe to the environment.

Purchasing Manager of Tesco, Huw Clifford said “We believe major retails will be key in helping Britain hit battery recycling targets.” Currently only 3% of batteries are recycled in this country but to meet the European targets this must rise to 25% by 2012.

BatteryBack was initially created in the summer of 2008 in preparation for the Waste Batteries and Accumulators Regulations. The regulations are a response to a European Directive that states that 25 per cent of all batteries placed on the market must be recycled by 2012, rising to 45 per cent by 2016. Currently, the UK recycles less than 3 per cent of portable batteries, with more than 30,000 tonnes of batteries being discarded every year.

BatteryBack provide BatteryCans for local authority civic amenity sites, schools, supermarkets and other retailers. They have over 2000 battery collection points, a figure that is growing daily. We aim to have 30,000 sites by the end of 2010 and well over 60,000 by the end of 2012.

Bulgarian mobile operator Globul and phone accessories retailer Germanos have collected 2182kg of used mobile phones, batteries and other accessories for recycling in the first year of their joint campaign.

The old parts were all collected from 266 stores and offices of Germanos and Globul nationwide, by customers and company staff. Globul Green hopes to reduce its own carbon footprint and increase the need for environmental awareness in Bulgaria.

Globul said that it continued to reduce paper usage in its offices and for advertisement leaflets, saving 34 tons or the equivalent of 800 trees. Between November 2008 and February 2009, the campaign collected 930kg of handsets, batteries and accessories, exceeding initial expectations.

Leading Mobile Phone Recycling company Mobile Phone Xchange (MPX) has had to release a new advert after they were found by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) to be misleading.

A viewer complained to the ASA after MPX’s original TV ad had stated, “Did you know that you can exchange any unwanted mobile phones for cash at mobilephoneexchange.co.uk? If you have recently upgraded or are about to change your phone, then visit our website to get an instant valuation for your old mobile.”

The viewer complained because MPX would not accept their old mobile phone, contray to what was stated in the advert. MPX admitted to the ASA that it did not offer cash for every single model of phone, but that around 900 handset models were accepted for exchange and so the company was not misleading consumers.

The ASA decreed that the advertisement must not be used again, as it was likely to mislead consumers into thinking any mobile phone could be exchanged. MPX managing director Geoff Walters said: “The campaign in question was not live at the time. We have started a new campaign that has been reworded. We had made a mistake which we have now fixed.”
