    Ok thanks did not know that. But let’s compare this against a better approach.

    Energy use for recycling

    Vs reuse

    Standardized bottle and jar sizes with pant ( not sure about en word, you pay a bit extra and get it back when returned) that instead of being melted down get a cleaned and reused.

    Sweden had a good system that’s still works but not as good as it use to ( some types was removed and different sizes in use) but still have it for 33 cl bottles, as an example.

    Plastic recycling is the biggest scam of them all, they ship tonnes of it all over the world. PET gets “recycled” once. Ship around the world, Get some fleece clothes back which can’t be recycled.

    For non plastic:

    Most my packaging materials are going in the fireplace. That way a get energy back.

    instead of A, clean it with hot water using energy B, getting in my car driving to recycle center using energy C, have it shipped to a recycling plant,other side of the world or whatever. Using energy from oil.

    Material for paper can be made co2 neutral. Organic waste , sure just compost it.

    Metalls yea here we have something we’re it’s great to recycle.

    Glass. Meh just heated sand. But old glass needs to be disposed of somewhere so yea it is a point in recycle it.

    What should be done is reuse and not using materials I can’t recover energy at home from. That’s a heck of a lot better.

    Glass bottles that gets refilled is a great example. Other good ideas is to repair instead of throwing a way stuff. True for everything from cars to laptops.

    From a capitalists view recycling means (to a certain extent) free labour, raw materials and transports.

    Reusing and repairs means less sales.

  • I WFH on permanent contract for one of the big ones. I never been at the office, I was recruited online, had my interview online and gotten about 4 months of training online , some more to come.

    It works fine. I am more productive than in an office.

    Equipment needed are provided and if I need anything I can just order it without much hassle, on the company dime of course. Knowledge is shared between everyone and all information is written down somewhere.

    So why are they doing it this way? They get a bunch of well educated people from all over the world. Great pay for the job, not so good if I had an employment in my field.

    But everyone are happy since they can WFH. The company get some really good people. At the same time they are forcing some back to the office in other areas. Because well realestate , but also because they didn’t have the organisation in place before the pandemic.

    The surveillance part is really not a hard thing for them to do, we are measured on all kind of things. I assume it’s harder for them to do this in other areas.

    And those are the ones they force back to the office and at tha same time weed out the ones who won’t accept it.

    Never going to the office again , I almost would accept a sale position over that.
