Geocycle’s Post

Geocycle Canada has commissioned a state-of-the-art low-carbon fuel facility at its Exshaw cement plant in Alberta. This new facility will help replace up to 50% of natural gas with low-carbon alternatives. It will also divert up to 120,000 tons of waste from landfills and reduce CO₂ emissions by as much as 30,000 tons annually.

Geocycle is heading to #Ecomondo in Rimini, Italy from November 5-8! Ecomondo is the place to discover new technologies, services and industrial solutions in the green and circular economy sectors. There will be over 200 events and workshops and more than 800 speakers covering various topics, including waste as a resource. The Geocycle team looks forward to welcoming you in hall B3 at booth 507! #WasteManagement #RethinkingWaste 

Waste management impacts the entire world, but currently at least 33% of waste is dumped in open areas or burned. This mismanagement of waste leads to negative impacts on public health, local economies and the environment. Unfortunately, many communities lack the waste management systems necessary to mitigate these outcomes.  Geocycle is committed to preventing pollution and protecting local communities. As well as providing low-cost solutions, we also contribute to economic development by creating local jobs in waste collection and treatment. Through sustainable waste management, we help avoid the contamination of air, soil and water.

👋 Meet Tarek, Platform Manager at Geocycle Egypt. Tarek Hassan manages alternative fuel and waste treatment facilities, including sorting systems and biomass shredders. We spoke with Tarek about his Geocycle journey: 💬 “Recently, I have been working on relocating the Geocycle platform and refuse-derived fuel production lines to our Sokhna plant. The aim is to control both the quantity and quality of alternative fuels to meet the high demands of the market.” “With this relocation, the platform can now produce 240,000 tons of alternative fuels from waste per year. It also helps Geocycle Egypt get closer to its target to reduce its carbon footprint by 350,000 tons of CO₂ in 2024." “It’s rewarding to be part of projects like this that make a positive impact.” 👏  Congratulations, Tarek! Our dedicated employees are the backbone of Geocycle and their commitment inspires us every day. #GeocycleJourney #GeocycleEygpt #WasteManagement #RethinkingWaste 

Geocycle Canada has opened its first low-carbon fuel plant at the Lafarge Brookfield Cement Plant in Nova Scotia. ♻️  The facility will transform waste products that would otherwise end up in landfills – like non-recyclable plastics and construction and demolition materials – into alternative fuels. This will minimize the Brookfield Cement Plant’s reliance on traditional fossil fuels and reduce carbon emissions by more than 12,000 tons per year. 🚗  That is the equivalent to taking 13,480 passenger vehicles off the road! “We are happy to take another significant step in our on-going partnership with Lafarge Canada,” says Sophie Wu, Head of Geocycle North America. “This is a great example of our work toward the decarbonization of the construction industry in Canada.” Read more about this new facility here: https://lnkd.in/gBKNwwSR #WasteManagement #RethinkingWaste

Did you know an estimated 11.2 billion tons of solid waste are collected around the world every year? This contributes around 5% of global greenhouse gas emissions. To help combat this issue, World Cleanup Day is a global call to action. It empowers individuals, communities, organizations and governments around the world to get involved in local cleanup initiatives. At Geocycle, our teams are committed to tackling the global waste challenge for a cleaner, greener world. We transform waste into resources and promote the transition to a circular economy to create a sustainable future. How are you planning on getting involved in World Cleanup Day? #WorldCleanupDay #WasteManagement #RethinkingWaste

👏 Congratulations to Sarah Reeves from Geocycle Canada on being selected as one of 2024’s Top 40 Under 40 in Canadian Construction! We can’t wait to see how you continue to shape the future of construction.

How can we tackle plastic pollution? 💰 The United Nations Environment Programme estimates $1.64 trillion is needed by 2040 to tackle the global plastic problem. This money would go toward new policies and the creation of necessary systems to measure and reduce pollution. With plastic production expected to triple by 2060, there is no time to waste. 🌍 World leaders met in April to start drafting the first-ever global treaty to address plastic pollution. Yet they were unable to arrive at a consensus as to who should foot the bill. On top of the issue of funding, governments and businesses can only move as fast as the technology. For some types of advanced recycling, plastics must first be sorted and cleaned – making it an impractical and costly solution. 💡 At Geocycle, our solutions are designed to mitigate uncontrolled plastic pollution and help curb the microplastic crisis. Our waste management approach enables us to completely destroy plastics, leaving no residue behind. Plus, we recover the energy from the process to substitute fossil fuels.

🛍️  From trash to shopping to storage, an estimated five trillion plastic bags will be used this year alone. Unfortunately for most of us, they can’t go in our recycling bins. 🚫 Plastic bags and other flexible plastics are the primary contaminants in recycling loads. They often get tangled in the recycling equipment, causing it to break and making the recycling process more expensive. So, how can we limit the impact of plastic bags on the environment? ·       Avoid using, accepting or purchasing plastic bags  ·       Reuse old plastic bags ·       Find a plastic bag recycler near you    ♻️ What are your tips for cutting down on plastic bags?  #RecyclingTip #Recycling #RethinkingWaste
