SPRINGDALE, Ark., Nov. 19, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Advanced Environmental Recycling Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:AERT), a leading plastics recycler and manufacturer of Green building products, recently announced that construction of the initial phase of its state of the art, world class plastic recycling facility near Watts, Oklahoma is nearing completion and is scheduled to start up in the first quarter of 2010. The company has also filed for LEED certification and anticipates that the Watts facility will soon be the first LEED certified recycling facility in Oklahoma. The initial phase will be focused on recycling low end, highly contaminated waste polyethylene films into bulk plastic feedstocks for AERT’s composite manufacturing plants in Arkansas.

Upon startup of the facility, the company will promptly move into second stage construction whereby additional storage and equipment will be installed to allow recycled polyethylene plastics to be blended and reformulated into Green recycled plastic resins. These resins will be sold to third party manufacturers for ever increasing sustainable and recycled content applications.

Polyethylene plastic is one of the most under recycled resources in the American waste stream with only about seven percent recycled according to 2008 EPA statistics. AERT’s new Watts plant will increase the national capacity for recycling polyethylene and simultaneously create American jobs.

Recycling polyethylene plastic such as grocery bags, stretch wrap, and packaging material has significant energy and environmental impacts. Recycling one pound of low density polyethylene results in a savings of 30,099 British thermal units (Btu) of energy according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The polyethylene recycled at AERT’s new reclamation plant during its first year of operation will result in saving an amount of energy equal to over 2.1 trillion Btu or the equivalent of the gasoline consumed in over 23,000 passenger vehicles.

Greenhouse gas generation is also reduced as a result of recycling polyethylene. According to the EPA, recycling one ton of low density polyethylene results in saving 1.71 metric tons of CO2 equivalent. The greenhouse gas reduction created by the new plant is estimated to be equal to removing over 10,000 passenger vehicles from the road.

The Watts recycling facility was funded by Allstate Investments with additional financial support from the Cherokee Nation, the State of Oklahoma, Adair County, local government entities, and the United States Departments of Commerce and Energy which helped provide site infrastructure support including road and sewer improvements for the area.

“We are extremely appreciative of the involvement and commitment of all parties in helping move this project forward during this difficult economic period in our country’s history,” stated AERT CEO, Joe Brooks. “AERT’s Watts project exemplifies the spirit and the ‘can do’ attitude of America, Oklahoma, and of AERT associates, and will shortly demonstrate to the world that recycling plastic will make AERT more competitive, hedge against future petrochemical related price increases, and save enormous amounts of energy. Practicing conservation and being Green and sustainable is simply common sense and it will contribute significantly to improve profitability for AERT in 2010,” Brooks concluded.

Plastic bottles are everywhere and they make it much easier for us to get the products we want in lighter bottle than glass. It is important to the environment that we recycle so that we can keep the plastic bottles out of our land fields. You need to remember that plastic does not go away it will sit in a field and never decompose and this can cause a lot of problems. Greenhouse Gas Emissions can be greatly improved when you recycle and the best part is you will be helping to improve the world we live in.

You will also save in many other ways as well such as oil because it takes oil to make those plastic bottles that we use. If instead of throwing them away so they can sit in a land field then you can reuse them and you will use less oil. This is a positive thing because there is only so much oil available to us. We can also reduce green house gasses because it takes more energy to make new bottles from oil then to recycle old bottles. Make sure you have a place in your house that you designated as a bin that the recycled bottles go and this will make it easier for all of your family to get involved.

Remember that recycling is a crucial part of saving the world we live in and with making a few changes it is easy to start recycling. It is important to make it fun and get your whole family involved so that they will be making a difference.  It is still suitable and benefitable for companies to recycle bottles and get profit from it.  We our company devote ourselves to offering our customer’s the best and most efficient machines to recycle bottles into flakes or granules.

Cleanup needed in Aisle 9.

Alfred Du Bois is pacing the lanes of the supermarket, holding up a container of cups and preaching about how Americans need to clean up their attitudes toward packaging.

The container in Aisle 9 represented everything that is wrong in today’s wasteful world to Du Bois, who has had the same razor handle for 20 years, uses rags instead of paper towels and does so much composting that his family of nine produces only two cans of garbage a week.

The cups were single use, unable to be refilled. They were made of Styrofoam. They were covered by a plastic wrapper.

“What are we going to do with them?” he asked, although he already knew the answer. They would end up in a landfill.

Du Bois, recycling coordinator for the City of Clifton, on Saturday led a group of Sierra Club members on a “waste wise” supermarket shopping tour in Clifton.

Du Bois was encouraged — and discouraged — by what he saw.

He was encouraged by the produce section that had apples sorted nicely in recyclable paper sacks, but discouraged that nearby apples were in red mesh.

He was encouraged by the section that included a weigh station for people to carry away their peanuts and almonds, but discouraged that customers had to carry away the nuts in a plastic bag.

He was encouraged by the case of Snapple peach tea that had glass bottles and a cardboard container, but discouraged by the nearby case of black tea that had plastic bottles and a plastic wrapper.

Du Bois gave tour members a refillable green sack that can be used at the supermarket. Apples would be washed at home, anyway, so he sees no need to put individual apples in plastic bags.

The green sack also contained a fan and a fly swatter — as alternatives to air conditioning and chemical insect killers.

“All is really talking about rethinking our whole society,” said Walter Koenig of Clifton, who took the tour.

Du Bois laughed at the absurdity of an individual potato wrapped tightly in plastic wrap.

“How long does it even take to get off?” he asked of the wrapper. “This is what we want to avoid.”

Du Bois admitted that much of the packaging was eye-catching and tempting.

But he said, “Hopefully there will be entrepreneurs out there who will think of better systems to create.”

Du Bois would like to see less packaging and waste and more composting and bulk stations where shoppers can refill their bottles of detergent and bleach. He liked what he saw in Aisle 5, with canned water chestnuts and boxes of macaroni. Aisle 17 looked good, too, with its pet food in paper bags.

On the tour was 6-year-old Abigail Geoffroy of East Brunswick and her 9-year-old sister, Emily.

Their parents, Kevin and Amy Geoffroy, teach ecological lessons at home, including the importance of shutting off lights when leaving a room, reusing containers for lunch at school and not leaving the water running while brushing teeth.

“It is important to start at an early age,” Kevin Geoffroy said.

Panic over H1N1 influenza, popularly known as swine flu, has been growing day by day in the world with the pandemic — as it is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) — claiming thousands of lives around the world.

Turkey, which has documented slowly increasing numbers of swine flu cases until recently, when figures almost doubled in a week, has been alarmed by the spread of the virus since cases doubled last week and neared 1,500. It was also last week when the country’s first three swine flu fatalities were reported, which prompted officials to step up measures to prevent the spread of the virus. Although wearing face masks is noted among measures to prevent the swine flu, Turks seem to be reluctant to wear the masks, with various concerns including being a suspected swine flu patient, creating panic and believing that being infected is unlikely. Experts state that although it is not necessary at the time being for everyone to wear a mask in public areas, they stress that avoiding crowded places is of crucial importance to keep the swine flu virus at bay.

“The media have played a major role in arousing public awareness about swine flu in Turkey. But it is enough now. Any more would create panic. There is no need for those who are not infected to wear masks for the time being,” stated Turkish Public Health Association (T-HASAK) President and public health expert Professor Hikmet Pekcan to Sunday’s Zaman. Pekcan seems to be right according to a recent survey on public knowledge about swine flu in Turkey.

According to the survey conducted by AC Nielsen, public consciousness has increased in Turkey regarding swine flu. The survey, which was carried out with the participation of 224 people over the age of 18, has shown that 91 percent of participants had heard of the pandemic, and 86 percent of those who are informed about swine flu are also informed about how the virus is transmitted. According to the survey, 72 percent of respondents noted that the virus is transmitted more commonly through aerosolized droplets — spread by sneezing, coughing, talking or kissing. Ninety-three percent of people surveyed stated that they had been informed about swine flu through television. While 36 percent of those knowledgeable about the virus cited avoiding travel to countries that had documented swine flu deaths as a precaution, 32 percent stated that masks should be worn to avoid the virus.

“Measures taken by the Health Ministry are sufficient for the time being, and there is no need to create panic among the public. The public has been aware of the threat. Those who are infected should wear masks as well as those whose immune systems are weak. The best way to prevent the virus is to avoid going into crowded environments and frequently washing one’s hands,” says Pekcan.

Assistant Professor İbrahim Erayman of Konya Selçuk University also tells people not to ride public transportation unless it is necessary since crowded areas make the virus spread more quickly. “If a person has flu symptoms like sneezing, he or she should wear a mask. People should cover their faces with a handkerchief while sneezing or coughing,” he says.

Stressing that the swine flu virus can be transmitted through aerosolized droplets that can even enter the body through the eyes, Professor Tahsin Yeşildere, the head of the İstanbul Chamber of Veterinary Surgeons (İVHO), also says it is of crucial importance for those with flu symptoms to wear masks. Noting that everybody should be cautious about the virus, he warns people using public transportation in particular. “We should not say ‘Nothing will happen to me’ and and instead should pay attention to warnings. Hands and the nose should be frequently washed. If you are in a crowded place and sneeze, you should not cover your face with your hands but with a handkerchief,” he says.

Professor Pekcan draws attention to the current public awareness of swine flu, which helps keep the virus at bay, and says the H1N1 scare had one positive effect on the public as it got people to adopt some habits to prevent the spread of contagious diseases. “Now people are more cautious in public areas when they sneeze; they wash their hands more frequently, etc. These are ways of preventing other diseases such as seasonal influenza and hepatitis, which also claim the lives of many every year,” he adds.

Quick glance at swine flu epidemic in Turkey thus far

Vkey reported its first case of swine flu on May 15. The number of cases has increased slowly in the country until recently, when figures almost doubled in a week. Following an outbreak at an Ankara school two weeks ago, the school was closed for a week. The Health Ministry announced on Oct. 20 that 582 people had been diagnosed with swine flu in the country since May. Turkey’s first swine flu death occurred on Oct. 24 in Ankara when Mustafa Güneş died at Ankara’s Atatürk Sanatorium, where he had been receiving treatment. The Health Ministry announced on Thursday that a 34-year-old woman who had been receiving treatment for H1N1 in the southeastern province of Diyarbakır died on Thursday. With the death of the woman, Beşire Bozkurt, swine flu fatalities increased to two, and the number of people diagnosed with the virus has risen to 1,411 since May. Another statement from the ministry late Thursday indicated that a 37-year-old woman — who had died at a hospital in the Central Anatolian province of Konya on Monday — also died of swine flu, bringing the death toll from swine flu in Turkey to three.

Making use of a four-day holiday at schools last week since schools were also closed on Thursday for Republic Day, a national holiday, officials disinfected schools. The school buildings were cleaned and disinfected by regular cleaning staff. Workers were directed to focus their efforts on cleaning windows, doors, bathrooms and hallways as well as any other areas of the buildings where students are likely to come into physical contact. Public transportation vehicles in various provinces are also being disinfected, with the İstanbul and Ankara municipalities announcing that they are taking action to increase preventative measures against the virus.
