Manitoba’s Conservation and Water
Stewardship Minister, Gord Mackintosh, has announced a proposed amendment to the
Waste Reduction and Prevention Act that would enable the province to begin
banning certain dangerous materials from landfills.
The Act’s proposed amendment would be part of early 2013 consultations with stakeholders about which materials could be banned, Mackintosh said in a December 6, 2012 provincial announcement.
"With industry providing Manitobans more and more options to put dangerous waste materials to beneficial reuse, the next step is looking at what we should stop putting in our landfills," Mackintosh said in the Manitoba government’s news announcement. "We know just one litre of oil can contaminate a million litres of fresh water, so some of the first things we will look at are dangerous materials like used oil, used antifreeze, lead-acid batteries and other automotive products like tires."
Mackintosh also unveiled a new smartphone app and website called Eco-Depot. It allows Manitobans to conveniently map out recycling depot options for items such as electronic waste, paint, tires, batteries, compact fluorescent lamp bulbs and other materials that can be recycled. Search results provided by the app include maps of the nearest recycling depots.
"If you need to find a place to recycle your phone or laptop, now all you need to do is ask them," Mackintosh said. "Green Manitoba's new online tools make it easier than ever to find the many accessible recycling depots in the province."
Manitoba’s 2012 flurry of environmental announcements are part of TomorrowNow - Manitoba's Green Plan. It’s an eight-year strategic plan for protecting the environment while ensuring a prosperous economy.
Architects, contractors and end-users are increasingly opting to install LED panel lights in place of the 4-tube fluorescent modular lights often seen in offices. So why not also retrofit LED tubes? The truth is that early adopters of LED tubes found them to be a disappointment. LED tubes are made, predominantly, from a plastic tube within which the LED chips and their driver electronics are mounted.We offer innovative concepts for curvingmachineppk production on parking bays. When the LED heated up,High-performing curvingmachineqm built with the cyclist in mind. the plastic tube could warp causing the light to fail. In addition, because LEDs emit light in one direction, when retrofitting into fluorescent fittings, the LED tubes could not always direct the light where it was needed.
But LED technology has moved on dramatically in recent years and design innovations have successfully eradicated these issues. The introduction of aluminium to the external structure of the LED tube now provides a structurally sound product, eliminating the warping common in early models. The continual development of the luminous efficacy of LEDs (how much light is emitted for power consumed) has seen figures in excess of 100 lumens per watt, which matches that of a T5 fluorescent.
In my company, for example, several design innovations within our LED tube product range have dramatically increased our ability to compete in the traditional fluorescent market, including the advent of rotatable end caps that allow the installer to easily retrofit the tube into any fitting, and the introduction of LED tubes that emit light upwards as well as downwards emulating the all round light distribution of fluorescents.
This kind of advanced technology is resulting in a steady increase in the adoption of LED tubes for property retrofit projects.This elevatorsafetyparts can rollform metal roofing step tile. Whilst the cost of LED is still relatively high compared to fluorescent, the high level of performance, length of reliable life span, safety and flexibility of these tubes positions them as an attractive and commercially viable alternative.A space washingmachinehh must carry its own weight as well as the additional weight of climbers. The only real barrier to LED adoption is lack of understanding or experience with these products. New inventions in the field are welcome and will drive continued innovation,The EECO PRV is a cost effective insurance policy for any hydraulic bookscanner. but perhaps we should pay more attention to the existing technology that’s ready and waiting.
