    Hope my country become less or free with garbage on roads and streets😔😔

      Goverment can do a transfer of technology in defence sector, so why can't government do a same thing in this sorting sector also?, If Indian government do it then we will be having less landfills after recycling (after sorting).

    Id be more interested to know which country those bales are then sold on to rather than how well you can make bales. Trouble being there is no traceability with ANY of those bales and you cannot verify that any of that waste has actually been recycled. It has only been sorted by a £27 million version of what we did before kerbside. No recycling has actually taken place in this video im afraid. Next time, follow the containers that the bales are put into and show us them actually getting recycled although sadly I know why that won't happen.

    If they'd have have invested 10% of that 27mill they could have a pyrolysis plant cooking all that plastic and producing thousands of litres of synthetic diesel - 66% cleaner burning than fossil fuel diesel, and self-powering from its own gas production, and zero waste. A cold plasma pyrolysis plant would be even more efficient. Quanta fuel in Norway is the biggest European producer, and borne out of their expertise in hydrocarbons - oh,wait, isn't Aberdeen meant to be known for that too? So, what are we waiting for...? Or am I missing something?

    2.25-kg per household per day

    Start: Recycling 39% of household waste.
    End: Recycling “about” 🙄 49%. (Read: about=45%...)
    So.
    $27 million for a (“about”) 10% increase in recycling.
    Wow.
    Did ANYONE on the worthless city council run the numbers to the break even point?
    Hint: 102 years later “we’re projecting 10 more years until the plant breaks even”. Just in time for a new modern one!

      Your scepticism is correct. But one would think that if they successfully did separate the aluminium that such would be of sufficient value to a given company which processes recyclable aluminium, and thereby some recycling would thus having been effected.

    And then it's sent to who exactly?
    In the UK we basically do not (cannot) recycle into new products because all of the processors have been shut down. It means that you're done your recycling to save the planet but then it's shoved into polluting lorries and sent to ports and then shipped to foreign lands where recycling will likely mean incineration or land fill.

    In my opinion, this would not happen in the resource-oriented economy of the Venus project by Jacques fresco . Since it would be impractical to use materials that need to be processed with the expenditure of such resources, people who could become doctors,engineers,scientists, etc. during training and develop society, but the monetary system does not spare anyone, because everyone has suffered from it and will suffer because the planet earth is a closed system . If you pollute for example in Africa, it will affect the whole world, common sense.

    So the taxpayer pays for the overpriced facility, not to mention the energy footprint of the facility itself, the 'waste' is sold for revenue and the taxpayer gets a bill from the council instead of getting dividends. Waste is then sent to incinerators, sorry, 'waste to energy' plants as this is deemed a 'greener' disposal method (compared to recycling).
