Oooh, mixer tap! But microplastics... but mixer tap!

And microplastics

Redneck engineering.

I thought this might have been a post from @[email protected] for a hot second.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

I wish my posts could be as cool as Bones' posts!

That's reusing, not recycling.

Remember, recycling is the last of the 3 Rs. You should reduce or reuse first.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Is that true? I thought recycling was giving new purpose to an old object. Reuse to me implies another person using the object but in the same way it was originally intended.

[–] earphone843 22 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

No, that's reusing. Recycling is breaking down the product into materials so it can be used to make new stuff.

The cycle in recycle means the production cycle.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 hours ago

No, the cycle doesn't close if you turn one product into a different one. Recycling is melting one bottle and turning into a new bottle. If you turn one product into a lower quality one, it's downcycling. Unless you are very proud of what you did, than it's upcycling

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Given that this is changing the product itself, it's more repurposing than reusing, which I'd say fits between reuse and recycle.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

It works better if you think about the raw materials rather than the whole product;

Reduce the amount of plastic you use
Reuse the plastic you already have
Recycle the plastic you can't use anymore

[–] earphone843 2 points 1 day ago

I guess it would technically be upcycling

sad Krebs cycle face

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

What you’re describing is just giving/loaning/borrowing which don’t start with R but still contribute to a moneyless value economy which is still great for improving the efficient sharing of the resource pool toward desirable ends

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

The third one is ECYCE

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Reparing is the first one, idk where reduce comes into the saying.

Maybe we need to include a 4th R?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

I would argue that repair is part of re-use, since you are allowing it to be used again. So would be part of the second r. The first r is reduce, which would boil down to: if you already have one, don't buy another. It's more effective to not need the resources in the first place.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

No it’s not, the full ladder is basically (and even legally here in NL rvo.nl )

  1. Refuse and rethink
  2. Reduce
  3. Re-use
  4. Refair/refurbish
  5. Recycle
  6. Recover

But the saying is often used as “Repair, Reuse, Recycle” in the right to repair programs.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 hours ago

I like those 6, but was not the mnemonic that was advertised around me. In general the order follows the life cycle of the minerals, so reduce is first as it means you dig up less. Reuse/repair is after it has been dug up, so less goes to disposal.

That's why I eat plastic, gotta use that macro plastic to fight the micro plastics

microplastics when macroplastics walk in:

[–] Jax 0 points 1 day ago

If you eat enough, it collects and then you can flush it from your system easier!
