Reciclaje y reacondicionamiento para reducir costos y crear empleos<\/h3>\n

En Bridgeport, CT, una empresa de reciclaje y reacondicionamiento de colchones comenzar\u00e1 a operar a fines de junio. Veinte trabajadores procesar\u00e1n 100.000 colchones y somieres anualmente. Esto reducir\u00e1 los costos de las estaciones de transferencia y vertederos, al tiempo que pondr\u00e1 productos finales de buena calidad a disposici\u00f3n de los consumidores por una fracci\u00f3n del precio en comparaci\u00f3n con los colchones nuevos de tiendas minoristas formales. La planta es propiedad de\u00a0Corporaci\u00f3n de Desarrollo Comunitario de Greater Bridgeport<\/a>, que utiliz\u00f3 una subvenci\u00f3n de $100,000 del $Community Development Block para apalancar capital adicional.<\/p>\n

En Reading, PA, la nueva administraci\u00f3n ha\u00a0contrat\u00f3 a sus propios trabajadores<\/a>\u00a0a niveles sindicales de salario y beneficios para administrar el programa de reciclaje de la ciudad. Hay 10 empleos nuevos y se espera que la ciudad ahorre $200,000. Adem\u00e1s, al controlar sus propios materiales, la ciudad puede dirigir estos recursos a empresas que establecer\u00e1n plantas de fabricaci\u00f3n en Reading. Reading ser\u00e1 el sitio de la primera planta en EE. UU. que utiliza papel reciclado de alta calidad y algod\u00f3n reciclado para producir papeler\u00eda, papel de copia, sobres y carpetas para mercados locales y regionales. La planta crear\u00e1 100 empleos a $14 por hora, adem\u00e1s de 20 empleos adicionales en distribuci\u00f3n y almacenamiento.\u00a0Servicios Comunitarios Unidos<\/a>, el agente de desarrollo laboral de la ciudad identificar\u00e1, preseleccionar\u00e1 y reclutar\u00e1 a los trabajadores. El alcalde Vaughn Spencer est\u00e1 introduciendo formas creativas adicionales para utilizar materiales crudos disponibles para el crecimiento econ\u00f3mico sostenible. Una serie de operaciones de reacondicionamiento en Eugene, Oreg\u00f3n, que incluyen colchones, autom\u00f3viles, electrodom\u00e9sticos, computadoras y muebles, se venden a trav\u00e9s de 11 tiendas outlet operadas por\u00a0San Vicente de Pa\u00fal del Condado de Lane<\/a>\u00a0(SVDP) ha ayudado a reducir el costo de vida en esa ciudad en un estimado de 3%. Las operaciones totales de SVDP emplean a m\u00e1s de 400 trabajadores con salarios dignos m\u00e1s seguro m\u00e9dico. SVDP tambi\u00e9n fabrica productos hechos de vidrio de ventana y encendedores hechos de crayones viejos. Desde la Gran Recesi\u00f3n de 2008, SVDP ha contratado a m\u00e1s de 100 nuevos trabajadores y ha aumentado los salarios.<\/p>\n

Parques industriales enfocados en reciclaje y reutilizaci\u00f3n<\/h3>\n

En el condado de Alachua, Florida, se ha creado un Parque de Recuperaci\u00f3n de Recursos de 40 acres para empresas de reciclaje y compostaje. De manera similar, se est\u00e1 desarrollando un parque industrial para este tipo de empresas en Austin, Texas. Austin acaba de dar a conocer un extraordinario documento de 321 p\u00e1ginas\u00a0plan maestro para la recuperaci\u00f3n de recursos<\/a>\u00a0que guiar\u00e1 a la ciudad a un% de desviaci\u00f3n de materiales descartados del 90% para 2040. El informe ahorrar\u00e1 a las ciudades que buscan replicar estos objetivos cientos de miles de d\u00f3lares en honorarios de consultor\u00eda.<\/p>\n

En Poughkeepsie, NY, la ciudad est\u00e1 proporcionando cuatro acres para\u00a0Greenway Servicios Ambientales<\/a>, una empresa de compostaje, que crear\u00e1 la base para un sector de agricultura urbana intensiva. La agricultura urbana es esencial para ciudades sostenibles. David Crockett, director de la Oficina de Sostenibilidad en Chattanooga, informa que si tan solo el 10% de los alimentos consumidos en la ciudad se cultivaran en la ciudad, tendr\u00eda un impacto de $mil millones en la econom\u00eda local.<\/p>\n

Elemental Impact tambi\u00e9n est\u00e1 trabajando con el Aeropuerto Internacional Hartsfield-Jackson de Atlanta, el m\u00e1s transitado del mundo, para capturar residuos org\u00e1nicos de las \u00e1reas de servicio y las salas de embarque, as\u00ed como los envases de pl\u00e1stico que se utilizan para entregar alimentos a las instalaciones. Elemental Impact est\u00e1 ahora trabajando en estrecha colaboraci\u00f3n con el\u00a0Asociaci\u00f3n Nacional de Restaurantes<\/a>\u00a0para establecer estas zonas en muchas ciudades de EE.
