SURABAYA, Indonesia: The village of Bangun is surrounded by greenery - stretches of lush paddy fields and a slow-moving river. But within its confines, a dystopian environment of piles of waste, black smoke and twisted metal has emerged. With pictures.

This should be a wake up call for the UK waste management sector that changes are coming. They need to kick the can (s) down the street to their local DMG.

Nice LinkedIn advert for a Dutch company processing 1,000,000 tyre pa and looking to build 800 new plants... 60% converted into oil & gas. We need a bigger profile as Everyone is cashing in on the recycling bandwagon and we can do so much more! https://dms.licdn.com/playback/C4D05AQEVfEvTP-zhDg/8de2cb7cf6e1490f9568274a59106517/feedshare-mp4_3300-captions-thumbnails/1507940147251-drlcss?e=1562230800&v=beta&t=-xP52Wh1_XWdDcrSsjSbg202QvLrQy3nGlCZfWBRCho

demand expectations? There will be responses starting on the back of this increased demand, but lets hope that DMG is one of first commercially viable volume solutions out of the trap. https://www.renewableenergyworld.com/articles/2019/06/its-clean-powerful-and-available-are-you-ready-for-hydrogen-energy.html

but down we go again (down 54% on the 52 week high). What does it take to get this thing moving? Seems there is little faith at the moment - will it have to be a sack of decent sized canary yellow gemstones (not just one)? https://www.miningreview.com/diamonds-gems/vast-resources-one-step-closer-to-mining-diamonds-in-zimbabwe/

pounds of plastic per year - and then what? Where will it be landed now that Malaysia is no longer a destination? California wont want it - the sooner they place their orders the better.

are burning “low-grade” packaging made from ­polyethylene (PET) as it’s so brittle it needs to be sent to specialist recycling facilities. If they want to burn, they might as well get Hydrogen, Power and an income!

g countries. In some parts of Sub-Saharan Africa, plastic collection rates are currently stagnating at less than 10%. Let's hope they find the funding...

Same issues as wia518 with Hargreaves - only offering a kill or fill after hours but didn't execute yesterday - and that was just a small amount. Seems supply is very restricted.

biodegradable municipal waste could cost up to £1.15bn. This might support a few DMG's (the problem is not going to go away).

Of Scotland’s 32 local authorities, only 14 - accounting between them for 744,000 tonnes of waste - had invested enough to have the capacity needed available.

13 February 2017 URU Metals has raised £535,000 (before expenses) through a placing of 11,888,888 new Ordinary Shares at 4.5p per share.

The Company said the net proceeds of the placing will be used by the Company to investigate new acquisition targets and also means URU is in a strong position to act on any attractive proposals the Board receives.

9 January 2017 URU Metals, the base metals and uranium explorer and development company, has raised £770,000 from institutional and other investors through a placing of 171,111,110 new ordinary shares at 0.45p apiece.

The proceeds will be used to:- advance the Zebediela project, in anticipation of positive results from the drill testing programme which is due to commence this month. The aim of this scope of work is to increase the confidence on the potential magnetite resource that has been identified in the oxide and sulphide Zones of the orebody.

seem very 'hot' on renewable energy but maybe a DMG could help them with their rubbish disposal and keep their sand clean. They might have a few dirhams available for such an environmentally air and land friendly solution?

municipalities all over the United States: Previously, China had been the destination for about 40 percent of the United States’ paper, plastics, and other recyclables. Many municipal recycling programs in the U.S. have suffered. As of January, Philadelphia was sending half of the recyclables it collects straight to the incinerator. Minneapolis stopped accepting black plastics. Marysville, Michigan, will no longer accept eight of 11 categories of items (including glass, newspaper, and mixed paper) for curbside recycling, in order to cut costs. Deltona, Florida, stopped curbside pickup altogether.

Twenty tonnes of plastic waste have been destroyed by fire at the Environcom recycling facility in Grantham this morning.

Environmental heath officers from South Kesteven District Council have been joined by the Environment Agency and Lincolnshire Emergency Planners at the large fire inside the Environcom premises. The council has tweeted a video of the incident. Ten fire appliances are attending the incident at the Environcom recycling company on Spittlegate Level.

Maybe time for the Councils to have a 'Shared Services' approach to DMG as these small councils have little budget on their own.

Manager back in 05 Sep, 2018. "McIllree said Stensgaard would initially focus on working with the existing feasibility team to submit and secure the exploitation licence ahead of planned mining."

“Our ability to attract someone of Bo's calibre is testament to the quality of our operation and its value creation potential.”

Brought on-board to submit and secure the exploitation licence. He is still listed on LinkedIn.
As they say - 'you don't get a dog and bark yourself' - is this man doing the legwork?

I hope this article offers some insights into the UK resources management and recycling sector to assess the current situation for plastic waste recycling and to identify some of the main barriers that have thus far limited genuine recycling.

"The UK recycling system is a complex chain comprised of a diverse range of stakeholders: manufactures and retailers (producers), consumers, local authorities, resource management companies, re-processors and exporters. Under the current system producers pay about 10% of the costs for the collection, sorting and recycling of obligated items (such as plastic, paper, glass and metals), leaving LAs to pick up the remaining costs."

another upbeat article along the lines of the following (which I believe was originally from 2014):

It's a compelling story - apologies if you have seen it before.

NB: Thanks to TheKing77 and everyone else for the research and keeping the lights on!

The Big Short's Eisman launches fund for UK investors: The Neuberger Berman Absolute Alpha fund will launch (today), with a bet against UK banks in anticipation of a no-deal Brexit one of Eisman's big calls.

Eisman told (a paper) up to 9% of his capital was being used to 'short', or bet against, three UK banks, although he wouldn't name which.

'It doesn't matter, it's all the same thematic bet and I could have picked a different three,' he told the paper.

(in case you missed it).

(Zimbabwe) Mines Minister, Winston Chitando, said in an interview that De Beers and Vast Resources have not been given the green light for diamond exploration and mining. ZIMBABWE has licensed two diamond companies from China and Russia as the only foreign firms allowed to explore and mine for diamonds in the country after approving its Zimbabwe Diamond Industry Policy late last year.
