Companies Transform Scrap Cardboard Into Ethanol Fuel
A new partnership between a paperboard mill and a biofuel producer is now producing ethanol fuel from scrap cardboard fiber. While 95% of cardboard can easily be recycled again into more cardboard, the rest is unusable and usually enters the waste stream – a loss in terms of economics and the environment. Now those leftover fibers from International Paper in Iowa are being sent off to Fiberight where they are converted into ethanol fuel. Their first batch of cardboard ethanol is almost ready and is expected to emit 80% less carbon emissions than regular gasoline.

German Water Park Makes Wastewater Recycling Fun

Whether you’re relieving yourself in the toilets perched above the Emscher River or taking a swig from a water fountain above the Rhine-Herne Canal, you’re tapping into the same closed sustainable water system — which draws from the river and canal, rainwater and waste water.
