REVEND RECYCLING LIMITED, a UK corporation, announces today the launch of an innovative reverse vending recycling machine for the collection and recycling of domestic light bulbs and domestic batteries. From Steve Stothard.
The patented reVend reverse vending recycling machine is the "FIRST" domestic light bulb reverse vending recycling machine of its type in the World and has been jointly designed and developed by Revend Recycling Ltd and Repant ASA, a corporation listed on the Norwegian Stock Exchange.
The light bulb recycling machine has an add-on unit, as an option, for the collection and recycling of domestic batteries which contain valuable and scarce natural mineral resources.
Increased demand for recycling light bulbs and the international change over to CFL and LED domestic light bulbs and the recycling of domestic batteries is a key environment policy for all Governments, the EU Commission and the United Nations.
Recycling rates in the domestic lighting industry is in "sharp focus" internationally as significant waste tonnage amounts remain untreated and unprocessed. Used light bulbs frequently end up in "landfill" sites at considerable environmental and financial cost.
The new range of light bulb recycling machines from Revend will help to increase national recycling rates and assist companies and organisations comply with their recycling targets and environmental recycling obligations.
Revend Recycling will sell & market unique reverse vending recycling machines throughout Europe, USA & worldwide under its brand name Revend.
Revend Recycling recently concluded a supply agreement with IKEA of Sweden, a leading international retailer, and will install a significant number of machines in several IKEA stores throughout Europe, including the UK, Germany, & Denmark.
Revend Recycling pioneered the supply agreement with IKEA following a successful "pilot" installation in IKEA, Lakeside Shopping Centre near London, UK.
IKEA is the first to install the unique light bulb reverse vending recycling technology in its stores starting with IKEA Wembley and IKEA Wednesbury, West Midlands.
Customers of IKEA who recycle used light bulbs will automatically receive a reward incentive voucher to use in-store and also have the option to make a donation to Charity – UNICEF; Save the Children; WWF and the Woodland Trust.
A major sales and PR marketing campaign internationally has been launched to promote the unique light bulb recycling machine and battery collection unit.

Light making a bid as Republican candidate for 38th Senate seat
The bitterness of recent campaigns hasn’t stopped the flow of negative campaigning, but the public reaction to the political divisiveness that has characterized a new political party — the Tea Party. Their positions aren’t very sexy to a national media that likes either-or situations like National League versus American League, left versus right, evil and/or good versus good and/or evil.
That said, Tea Party members don’t appear to really care about what the national or local media thinks about them. Sarah Palin, John McCain’s running mate in his unsuccessful race for president against President Barack Obama in 2008, doesn’t seem to care about what her candidacy might mean to a national campaign. Although he’s running as the Republican candidate in Virginia’s 38th Senatorial District, Adam Light is the Tea Party guy in Virginia’s 38th Senatorial District race.
In his opening statement to the Bluefield Daily Telegraph editorial board, Light, 41, a Buchanan County native who now lives in Pounding Mill, Tazewell County, Va., Light said he wanted to focus on the three fundamental aspects of his campaign, jobs, education and taxes.
“What we do best in Southwest Virginia is mine coal, drill for gas and cut timber. We use our natural resources,” Light said. After saying he thinks the jobs of the future are there, Light shifted the content of his opening statement to explain that the region needs to put an emphasis on vocational education.
“We shouldn’t train everyone to go to college,” he said. “That way, you have kids that are going to college and a bunch of square pegs left over that can’t fit into a round hole. I was one of those square pegs, but I was fortunate because I have vocational education so I could get a job.”
Light graduated from Richlands High School in 1988, and earned a certificate in electronic technology along the way. He won a state championship in the Vocational Industrial Clubs of America job skills demonstration competition and, after marrying his wife Jennifer, worked several jobs including warehouseman and vacuum cleaner salesman in the Tri-Cities area. The family returned to Richlands, and Light got a job as a rodman on an underground survey crew.
Some of Light’s campaign billboards, direct mailing items and radio spots appear to link his opponent with President Obama who didn’t make many friends in the coalfields with his positions on coal mining. In response to a question about advertising linking his opponent with the president, Light said: “It’s negative only if you supported (Obama). Did you campaign for him? Did you donate to his campaign? I wouldn’t want to be tied to him.”
Light said that the present boom in the coal mining industry is unprecedented, “but I think the demand for energy will increase,” he said. “I don’t see it bottoming out.” He said that schools in the region should work to prepare students with technical skills they need to be successful in the energy-related jobs.
“A lot of young men who come out of high school and don’t go to college feel lost,” Light said. “They get caught up in drugs and it limits their futures. We need to reach these kids before they finish high school and get them in a vocational education program and work with some of these coal companies to get them into an apprentice program. If we’re all doctors and lawyers, who’s going to build houses, run the wiring and install the plumbing?”

One-storey living on two floors
Indigenous plants will require no watering, and stormwater will be directed back into the ground. A previous Hazelwood project, Pinewood Lane, received a 2005 City of Nanaimo design award for landscaping.
The site is zoned for 355 units, including single-family strata lots and multi-family homes, as well as the town houses, but Whittaker says: "We probably will not build that many because we want to keep it unique and natural so there's lots of space."
Ocean Pearl Terrace, the main road that winds through the site, was built to skirt around the rock bluffs. It's like driving in the country, says Whittaker; however, unlike country roads, this one is made of concrete. Access roads to each phase will mean that there are no driveways off the main road and homes will be shielded from view.
Hazelwood has sought out natural building materials and local suppliers. The rock used on exteriors and fireplaces is metamorphic sandstone quarried on Vancouver Island. The maple floors are milled and finished in Canada, and the hemlock banister railings are dried and kilned on the West Coast. The maple and bamboo cabinetry is custom-made by Benson Industries in Victoria. Quartz countertops in the kitchens and ensuites are manufactured by the family-owned and -operated Cambria company in Minnesota.
There is also an emphasis on sustainability and energy efficiency. The siding is moisture-and fire-resistant fibre-cement HardiPlank, and homes are being built to a Platinum Ener-Guide rating.
All have generous southern exposures for maximum light, low-E floorto-ceiling windows, HVAC heat pumps for even cooling and heating, gas-fired on-demand hot water and water-saving fixtures. Rockwood Heights homes meet the latest engineering seismic standards and include fibre optic wiring for high-speed voice, Internet and video connections.
There are a couple of variations in the floor plans, but all homes have the same number of rooms. On the ground floor, there is an open-plan living area with a kitchen, dining room and great room with a soaring 18-foot ceiling, an enclosed den, powder room, laundry room and garage. Upstairs are two bedrooms and two baths.
"We like to build something that the community is proud of and people will be comfortable in," says Whittaker, who has been in the construction industry for 50 years. Rockwood Heights is his third development in Nanaimo; the first two were Floral Woods and Pinewood Lane. Three of the Rockwood Heights town houses are built, and the foundations for the remaining nine are in place.
