New survey data shows 76% of health experts view accelerated muscle loss as a major threat for GLP-1 users, while nearly 60% identify social isolation as the top lifestyle blind spot in biological aging.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- U.S. News & World Report, the global authority in health rankings and consumer advice, today released new survey data highlighting how foundational lifestyle habits – rather than biohacks, supplements or trending technology – serve as the primary drivers of healthy aging.

The second annual 2026 U.S. News Healthy Aging Survey of health experts indicates that while modern healthy aging trends continue to gain public attention, longevity experts, medical professionals, clinical researchers and dietitians emphasize core daily behaviors – such as physical activity, balanced nutrition and social connection – as the most effective interventions to preserve long-term healthspan and physical function.

"U.S. News' 2026 survey data reflects a clear consensus among medical professionals that foundational, time-tested habits remain the bedrock of longevity," said Shanley Chien, senior editor of health at U.S. News. "Our goal is to help Americans navigate the noise of wellness trends by bridging clinical perspectives with practical actions that support healthy, active aging and functional independence."

While experts in the 2025 U.S. News Healthy Aging Survey anticipated that GLP-1 medications, AI-mediated healthcare and personal tracking devices would drive the future of healthy aging, the 2026 findings reveal critical blind spots surrounding these emerging trends. A striking 76% of experts now warn that accelerated muscle loss is a severe threat for patients using GLP-1 medications, noting that losing functional lean muscle alongside body fat can accelerate physical frailty as patients age.

Additionally, 59% of experts identified social isolation as the most underappreciated accelerator of biological aging, noting that a lack of meaningful connection sabotages sleep, compounds stress, and drives negative health effects like heart disease and dementia.

Key Survey Insights:

Foundational Habits Over Biohacks: Physical activity (89%) and a nutrient-dense diet (89%) overwhelmingly dominated the findings as two of the most critical factors for healthy aging, followed by restorative, high-quality sleep (30%). This marks a refined focus from the inaugural survey, which prioritized the broader mind-body connection, emphasizing that core daily routines remain the most vital interventions for longevity.

Accelerated Muscle Loss in GLP-1 Users: Roughly three in four (76%) surveyed experts agreed or strongly agreed that accelerated muscle loss is a severe health threat for individuals using GLP-1 medications.

Social Isolation as the Top Aging Blind Spot: Nearly two-thirds (59%) cited social isolation as the most underappreciated potential accelerator of biological aging. This far outranked other factors, including sleep disruption (19%) and chronic micro-stress (18%).

Overlooked Factors in Women's Aging: Experts identified perimenopausal and menopausal muscle and bone loss (33%) alongside delayed cardiovascular risk recognition (32%) as top unaddressed threats to women's long-term longevity.

Skepticism Toward Longevity Tech and AI: When evaluating modern consumer wellness trends, 40% of experts selected wearable health trackers as providing tangible benefits, while 31% indicated that none of the listed biohacking trends provide proven value. Regarding artificial intelligence, one in four (24%) identified behavioral support (such as AI coaches) as having an immediate positive impact, though 21% stated AI tools offer no tangible benefit to healthspan.

Methodology

U.S. News conducted the online Healthy Aging Survey from July through August 2026. A panel of 63 health experts participated in the survey. The respondent group included longevity experts, registered dietitians, medical doctors, clinical researchers and scientists, fitness experts and pharmacists.

PSI launches with $58M in seed funding to industrialize physics discovery at machine scale, starting with a founding role in the first privately funded interstellar space mission and productization of its platform for optimizing terrestrial and orbital data centers

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Sept. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Matt Pines, Alex Klokus, and Dr. Alexander Wissner-Gross today launched Physical Superintelligence (PSI) to build the world's most advanced physics research lab, creating higher-fidelity world models, engineering physical systems beyond human design, and ultimately discovering new physical laws of our universe. PSI's vision statement is here: https://psi.inc/

PSI also announced $58 million in seed funding led by Breakthrough Energy Ventures, joined by Dragon Global, Robot Ventures, Solari, Susa, Ron Conway's SV Angel, Valkyrie, Balaji Srinivasan, Anthony Scaramucci, and individual investors from OpenAI, NVIDIA, SoftBank Energy, Oracle, Hugging Face, JUMP Capital, and the a16z Scout Fund. As an initial proof point for its technology, PSI is productizing a portion of its core platform, Emmy (named for renowned physicist Amalie Emmy Noether) for terrestrial and orbital data center optimization.

"PSI aims to industrialize the discovery of new physics," said CEO and Co-founder Matt Pines. "Today, that means giving our customers a measurable edge to design and run their data centers more efficiently. Tomorrow, it means going after physics problems that have been untouched for decades. Our job is to make that kind of ambition affordable and scalable again for our customers and to genuinely change what's possible for humanity."

"AI has the potential to fundamentally change the pace of scientific discovery, and physics is one of the areas where that impact could be profound," said Carmichael Roberts at Breakthrough Energy Ventures. "PSI is bringing together a world-class team with the ambition and technical depth to turn that potential into real breakthroughs and unlock new possibilities across energy, computing, materials and other foundational technologies as they build a new model for how physics research gets done."

Emmy is the lab's team of virtual physicists, built on PSI's sovereign reasoning engine and a large, curated inventory of simulations. Where a human physicist carries one mental model of a system, Emmy constructs higher-fidelity world models, decomposes hard research problems into trees of verifiable hypotheses, and tests them in parallel at a scale no human research team can match. Directed at open scientific problems, Emmy discovers new physics the way physics demands: following a problem to its logical end and verifying every step until the conclusion is undeniable.

The first commercial application is AI data centers and AI factories, terrestrial and orbital. Emmy uses physics-native reasoning and simulation to solve multiphysics design problems (power, cooling, network, compute) whose interactions are too coupled for the slow, manual engineering iterations they require today. The result is infrastructure engineered beyond what human design cycles can reach: optimized before construction, and retrofitted for gains in facilities already running.

PSI is the founding technical partner for the Fermi Explorer Mission, the first AI-planned interstellar mission to Alpha Centauri. PSI validated the mission's physics, identified a substantially more efficient trajectory within the mission's mass and budget constraints, and will contribute additional scientific instrumentation to extract greater research value from the flight.

The seed funding supports PSI's operations as a focused, long-term research and development engine, backing work on foundational physics discoveries that have the potential to reshape humanity. It will be used to:

Continue recruiting a world-class team: bringing together researchers, scientists, and engineers across physics and AI who want to solve genuinely new physics to benefit humanity

Build the core Emmy platform: advancing the models, simulation, infrastructure, and verification systems its virtual physicists need to generate, test, and prove physics hypotheses at machine scale

Pursue directed progress on the world's most commercially and scientifically valuable discoveries across the energy-to-compute stack, from novel sensing to novel compute substrates, with the ambition of discovering new physical laws of our universe.

PSI is a team of physicists, AI researchers, experimentalists, and builders from the world's leading companies and scientific institutions, and is hiring people who want to create the next era of physics discovery to benefit all of humanity. To learn more or apply, visit: https://psi.inc/

Funding will scale Odyssey's platform in regions including Asia, Africa, and Latin America

BOULDER, Colo., Sept. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Odyssey Energy Solutions, the leading platform for financing distributed renewable energy (DRE) projects in emerging markets, today announced $74 million in new financing. The funding consists of a $27 million equity round and $47 million in debt. New equity investors include Broadscale Group, FMO, and Al Mada Ventures, with continued participation from existing investors including Union Square Ventures, Equal Ventures, Abstract Ventures, Twelve Below, FJ Labs, MCJ, and Transition Ventures. Debt financiers include British International Investment, BIO, the Facility for Energy Inclusion represented by Cygnum Capital and the Energy Entrepreneurs Growth Fund represented by TripleJump.

The financing will support continued expansion of Odyssey's platform, which connects more than 6,000 solar installers and engineering, procurement, and construction companies (EPCs) with financiers and equipment suppliers in more than 50 countries across Africa, Asia, and Latin America, facilitating access to $3.6 billion in capital for distributed energy projects. Odyssey's procurement platform, launched in 2024, aggregates equipment procurement across its large network of EPCs, offering these small-to-medium sized companies access to volume pricing with embedded supply chain credit. The platform has unlocked 1.5 GW of projects to date.

"The focus of financing for distributed renewable energy has historically been on post-construction capital—funding that flows once a project is built," said Emily McAteer, co-founder and CEO of Odyssey Energy Solutions. "That has left a significant gap upstream, where thousands of small and medium EPCs and installers lack the working capital needed to procure equipment, complete construction, and unlock customer payments. Odyssey bridges this gap directly, providing companies with the equipment pricing and financing they need to accelerate project delivery."

The announcement comes at a moment of accelerating demand for distributed renewable energy across Odyssey's core markets. Falling solar and battery costs, rising oil prices, and evolving government policy have converged to make the unit economics of distributed solar materially stronger than fossil-fuel alternatives. In Nigeria, where diesel backup generators supply more electricity than grid-connected power plants, according to the International Finance Corporation, diesel prices rose more than 93% between February and April 2026 following supply disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. In India, where Odyssey's platform has grown 205% over the past 12 months, new domestic manufacturing requirements for solar components are reshaping supply chains and driving demand for the procurement and financing infrastructure that Odyssey provides. Rapid data center construction across India, driven by rising AI compute demand, is further increasing electricity demand at a pace grid infrastructure is struggling to meet, adding urgency to distributed solar and storage as a complement to centralized power supply.

"Distributed solar in emerging markets has reached a watershed moment," said Andrew Shapiro, founder and Managing Partner at Broadscale Group. "The demand is there, the economics work, and the remaining constraint to deployment at massive scale is access to capital and procurement infrastructure for installers. That is exactly what Odyssey provides and why we're thrilled to support the company as they enable this critically important growth."

"Having worked across distributed energy finance in India and emerging markets, I've seen firsthand both the scale of the opportunity and the barriers that have held the sector back," said Piyush Mathur, co-founder and Managing Director of Odyssey Energy Solutions. "Today, the conditions for rapid deployment of clean energy have never been stronger. EPCs and distributed energy developers are growing at unprecedented rates, creating an urgent need for the procurement, financing, and technology infrastructure that can enable them to scale. That is the gap Odyssey is uniquely filling."

The new capital will allow for expansion of Odyssey's procurement platform, which aggregates equipment orders across smaller buyers to improve supplier terms and offers embedded supply chain credit. Given high demand from commercial and industrial customers for solar and storage solutions, installers typically have a much larger order book than they can supply at a given time due to working capital constraints. Procuring through Odyssey allows these companies to procure and construct more projects at once, accelerating project deployment.

The recent funding follows Odyssey's $15M Series A, announced in May 2023, bringing the total capital raised by the company to $94M. The company is also among the inaugural portfolio partners of Multiplier, an advisory firm co-founded by Jigar Shah and Jonathan Silver, both former directors of the U.S. Department of Energy's Loan Programs Office.

About Odyssey Energy Solutions

Odyssey Energy Solutions is accelerating the clean energy transition in emerging markets. The platform connects more than 6,000 distributed energy companies with financiers and equipment suppliers across India, Africa, Latin America, and more than 50 countries worldwide, facilitating access to $3.6 billion in capital.

Silné základy, výrazný displej: vyvíjajúca sa mobilná stratégia TCL USA - slovenčina

NEWS PROVIDED BY

TCL

Sep 01, 2026, 05:45 ET

SHARE THIS ARTICLE

BERLÍN, 1. september 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Od smartfónov dnes závisí takmer každá súčasť každodenného života, od komunikácie a fotografovania až po navigáciu, prácu, zábavu a platby. Ich kvalitu nedefinuje jedna hlavná funkcia, ale to, ako dôsledne funguje celý zážitok. Presne táto zásada formuje mobilnú stratégiu spoločnosti TCL.

Kompletný zážitok zo smartfónu

Pre TCL začína diferenciácia správnym uchopením základov.

Spoločnosť TCL vyvíja každé zariadenie s ohľadom na responzívny výkon, celodennú výdrž batérie, praktické nabíjanie, výkonné fotoaparáty, spoľahlivé pripojenie, presný a responzívny displej, stabilný softvér, pohodlný dizajn a odolnosť.

Vlastnosti sa líšia podľa modelu, segmentu a trhu. Každé zariadenie by sa malo posudzovať z hľadiska kompletného zážitku.

Vyvíjajúca sa mobilná stratégia spoločnosti TCL preto spája dva vzájomne sa dopĺňajúce ciele: tvorba konkurencieschopných a všestranných smartfónov a využívanie patentovanej technológie NXTPAPER, aby používateľom poskytla zmysluplný dodatočný dôvod, prečo si ich vybrať.

TCL NXTPAPER ako zmysluplná výhoda

Technológiu NXTPAPER uviedla spoločnosť TCL komerčne na trh v roku 2021. Táto technológia, postavená na desaťročí skúseností v oblasti odrazeného svetla, úpravy modrého svetla, vizuálneho komfortu a sledovania ako na papieri, sa odvtedy rozšírila do niekoľkých generácií smartfónov a tabletov TCL.

Jej vývoj vychádza z výskumu displejov spoločnosti TCL a spätnej väzby od spotrebiteľov, recenzentov a partnerov z odvetvia. Podľa spoločnosti TCL stojí za technológiou NXTPAPER 117 patentov a 15 certifikácií, pričom získal 189 mediálnych a priemyselných ocenení. Medzi jeho certifikácie od tretích strán patria uznania SGS Performance Tested a Premium Performance, ako aj certifikácia TÜV Rheinland Full Care Display.

Na veľtrhu Mobile World Congress 2026 spoločnosť TCL oznámila novinku, ktorú označila za prvú integráciu technológie NXTPAPER s AMOLED displejmi na svete. Je vyvinutý v spolupráci s TCL CSOT a jeho cieľom je kombinovať kontrast, reprodukciu farieb a jas AMOLED displeja s funkciami NXTPAPER, ktoré znižujú odlesky a podporujú pohodlnejšie sledovanie.

Neustály vývoj NXTPAPER – od tabletov cez smartfóny až po AMOLED – odráža pozitívnu odozvu, ktorú táto technológia získala.

Najnovší mobilný zážitok na IFA

Na veľtrhu IFA predstaví spoločnosť TCL v hale 21A svoje najnovšie smartfóny a tablety NXTPAPER, ako aj nositeľné zariadenia. Návštevníci z médií a odvetvia si môžu pozrieť, ako spoločnosť TCL v rámci svojho portfólia pripojených zariadení kombinuje inovácie v oblasti displejov, mobilné pripojenie a praktický dizajn.

Odbornosť a zodpovednosť za stratégiou

Spoločnosť TCL založila svoju divíziu mobilnej komunikácie v roku 1999, v roku 2004 expandovala na medzinárodný trh prostredníctvom značky TCL & Alcatel Mobile Phones a v roku 2005 prevzala plné vlastníctvo.

Integrovaný výskum, vývoj displejov, inžinierstvo a výroba pomáhajú TCL udržiavať kvalitu a zároveň prispôsobovať produkty rôznym trhom. Partnerstvá v odvetví dopĺňajú tieto interné kapacity a podporujú rozvíjajúci sa ekosystém AI.

Ďalšou súčasťou tohto základu je zodpovedná inovácia. V najnovšom hodnotení EcoVadis si spoločnosť TCL udržala zlaté hodnotenie za svoju činnosť v environmentálnej, sociálnej a riadiacej oblasti, čím sa zaradila medzi 5 % najlepších z viac ako 150 000 spoločností na celom svete. Celkové skóre 79 a 85/100 za environmentálnu výkonnosť odrážajú pokrok v zodpovednej výrobe, energetickej účinnosti, riadení a výkazníctva o udržateľnosti, a to aj v rámci všetkých mobilných produktových radov.

Dostupnosť a funkcie produktu sa môžu líšiť podľa trhu a zariadenia. Definitívne informácie podliehajú miestnemu potvrdeniu.

O spoločnosti TCL Mobile

Spoločnosť TCL Mobile sa špecializuje na výskum, vývoj a výrobu smartfónov, tabletov a pripojených zariadení. S cieľom poskytnúť 5G pre všetkých pomáha spoločnosť TCL Mobile svojim zákazníkom „inšpirovať k úspechu" prostredníctvom špičkových technológií a riešení.

Aunque es el Departamento de Educación de la ciudad de Nueva York el que asigna las rutas específicas de autobús, Logan Bus cree que esta nueva tecnología ayudará a los padres a comprender los contratiempos diarios que pueden producirse durante el trayecto y que pueden provocar retrasos y preocupaciones, como el tráfico, los retrasos debidos a las condiciones meteorológicas, los accidentes y los cortes de carretera. Logan Bus transporta a unos 30.000 alumnos de educación general cada día. El sistema está diseñado para ayudar a Logan Bus a gestionar esta capacidad, lo que permite a la empresa responder con mayor rapidez a las consultas de los padres, y forma parte del compromiso de la empresa de ofrecer un buen servicio y una buena comunicación a las familias a las que presta servicio.

El sistema telefónico vincula de forma segura la ruta de autobús de un alumno con el identificador de llamadas de los padres, de modo que las familias podrán localizar fácilmente la ubicación del autobús sin tener que seguir una serie de instrucciones telefónicas. Los asistentes de IA del sistema obtendrán esa información accediendo directamente al sistema de seguimiento por GPS de Logan Bus, lo que permitirá ofrecer respuestas rápidas con un tiempo de espera mínimo. Los padres que deseen hablar con un agente en directo, que además tenga registrada la ruta del niño, pueden hacerlo con solo pulsar un botón.

El nuevo sistema telefónico funciona en combinación con la aplicación «NYC School Bus App», una herramienta de seguimiento por GPS para toda la ciudad desarrollada por el Departamento de Educación en colaboración con Via. Logan Bus anima encarecidamente a los padres a que descarguen la aplicación, además de utilizar la nueva línea telefónica. Todos los conductores de Logan Bus están conectados al sistema en todo momento, por lo que se puede realizar un seguimiento de sus autobuses en tiempo real.

«Estamos deseando ponerlo en marcha en septiembre y estamos muy satisfechos con los comentarios que hemos recibido durante el programa piloto de este verano. De cara al futuro, la siguiente fase de este proyecto dotará a nuestro sistema telefónico basado en IA de una conexión directa mediante API con VIA. Esto significa que no solo podremos actualizar el sistema de retrasos de autobuses, sino que el asistente de inteligencia artificial de nuestro sistema telefónico también tendrá acceso en tiempo real a los datos del GPS de VIA, lo que le permitirá ofrecer a los padres una respuesta aún más precisa a sus consultas», afirma Michael Tornabe, director de operaciones y propietario de Logan Bus Company.

En este próximo curso escolar, Logan Bus quiere que haya una cosa segura en una mañana por lo demás impredecible: Los padres siempre sabrán dónde está el autobús de su hijo, y siempre habrá alguien dispuesto a atenderles.

RD UNIQUE PLACES: Eine neue Dachmarke für einzigartige Hospitality-Welten

Bild-Infos Download Ein weiterer Medieninhalt

Andernach (ots)

Die Hospitality-Welt des Gründers Rolf Doetsch entwickelte sich aus der Vision, Orte zu schaffen, die Menschen berühren und ihnen in Erinnerung bleiben. Daraus entstanden über die Jahre außergewöhnliche Hotels, Restaurants, Eventlocations und Rückzugsorte. Heute begrüßen die Häuser Gäste aus aller Welt und zählen internationale Reisende ebenso wie bekannte Persönlichkeiten zu ihren Besuchern.

Mit der neuen Dachmarke RD UNIQUE PLACES erhält dieses gewachsene Portfolio nun eine gemeinsame sichtbare Heimat. Die neue Markenarchitektur macht die Zusammengehörigkeit der einzelnen Häuser sichtbar und schafft einen verbindenden Rahmen für ihre weitere Entwicklung.

"Unsere Häuser sind unterschiedlich, doch sie verbindet dieselbe Haltung: Authentizität, kulturelle Verbundenheit und der Anspruch, Gäste mit außergewöhnlicher Gastfreundschaft und einzigartigen Erlebnissen zu begeistern", sagt Phillip Doetsch, Prokurist PURS Fine Hotels & Restaurants.

Vom Herzensprojekt zur Hospitality-Welt

Der Ursprung dieser Entwicklung liegt in einem Ort, der für Phillip Doetsch eine besondere Bedeutung hat. Noch heute erinnert er sich an die Zeit, die er dort im Gewölbekeller und Innenhof verbracht hat.

Gemeinsam mit dem international renommierten Designer Axel Vervoordt verwandelten seine Eltern Rolf und Petra Doetsch die ehemalige kurfürstliche Bischofskanzlei aus dem Jahr 1677 behutsam in ein außergewöhnliches Boutiquehotel, das PURS. Entstanden ist ein Haus, das historischen Charme mit zeitlosem Design verbindet und Gästen eine Atmosphäre bietet, die weit über klassische Hotellerie hinausgeht.

Aus PURS entwickelte sich in den vergangenen Jahren eine vielfältige Hospitality-Welt. Als erstes Projekt der Familie Doetsch legte es den Grundstein für die Philosophie und den Qualitätsanspruch, die bis heute alle Häuser prägen. Zum Portfolio gehören das PURS Luxury Boutique Hotel, das Sternerestaurant PURS Nordic Japanese, das asiatisch inspirierte Restaurant YOSO, das italienische Restaurant Ai Pero, das Classic Boutique Hotel Am Ochsentor, die Hammesmühle sowie das Convent als Ort für Tagungen, Genuss, Begegnung und Erholung.

"Jedes unserer Häuser hat seinen eigenen Charakter und seine eigene Geschichte. Mit RD UNIQUE PLACES schaffen wir eine gemeinsame sichtbare Heimat, die unsere Werte verbindet und die Zusammengehörigkeit unserer Häuser erlebbar macht", sagt Phillip Doetsch.

Mit starken Wurzeln in die Zukunft

Mit Blick auf die Zukunft setzt die Familie Doetsch ihren Wachstumskurs fort. Bereits heute befinden sich weitere Hospitality-Projekte in Planung, die ihren Ausgangspunkt bewusst in Andernach und der Region haben. Entstehen werden Orte, die die Werte der neuen Dachmarke konsequent weitertragen: authentisch, qualitätsorientiert, kulturell verwurzelt und geprägt von zeitloser Ästhetik. Damit entwickelt die Gründerfamilie ihre Vision weiter und stärkt zugleich den Standort, an dem die Erfolgsgeschichte von PURS und den weiteren Hospitality-Konzepten ihren Anfang nahm.

Über RD UNIQUE PLACES

RD Unique Places ist die Dachmarke der von RD Gastro geführten Hospitality-Konzepte. Unter ihr vereinen sich Hotels, Restaurants, Eventlocations und besondere Rückzugsorte mit einem gemeinsamen Anspruch an Gastfreundschaft, Kulinarik, Design und Qualität. Zum Portfolio gehören unter anderem das PURS Luxury Boutique Hotel, das Sternerestaurant PURS Nordic Japanese, das Restaurant YOSO, das italienische Restaurant Ai Pero, das Classic Boutique Hotel Am Ochsentor, die Hammesmühle und das Convent.

Die Philosophie von RD UNIQUE PLACES basiert auf dem Ziel, authentische Orte mit individuellem Charakter und zeitloser Ästhetik zu schaffen. Ihren Ursprung findet diese Haltung im PURS in Andernach, das gemeinsam mit dem international renommierten Designer Axel Vervoordt entwickelt wurde und vom Gedanken des Wabi-Sabi geprägt ist.

Auszeichnungen wie der Michelin-Stern für das Restaurant PURS sowie die Mitgliedschaft bei Relais & Châteaux und Quality Lodgings unterstreichen den hohen Qualitätsanspruch der Marke.

Initiative "Mülltrennung wirkt"

Erste Wohnung: So klappt's auch mit der Abfalltrennung

Bild-Infos Download

Köln (ots)

Ob Ausbildung oder Studium, im Spätsommer und Herbst beginnt für viele junge Menschen ein neuer Lebensabschnitt. Dazu gehört oft auch: bei den Eltern ausziehen. Doch plötzlich den eigenen Haushalt oder den einer WG zu organisieren, ist gar nicht so einfach. Kochen, waschen, putzen - und wie funktioniert das mit der Mülltrennung? Das erklärt die Initiative "Mülltrennung wirkt". Denn mit der richtigen Mülltrennung klappt es nicht nur mit Hausgemeinschaft und Vermieter*innen. Sie hilft außerdem, Klima und Ressourcen zu schonen.

Damit Abfälle getrennt gesammelt werden können, sorgen Vermieter*innen oder Hausverwaltungen für die notwendigen Abfallbehälter. Für die richtige Mülltrennung sind Mieter*innen selbst verantwortlich. Doch oft fehlt es an Wissen: Durchschnittlich 30 Prozent der in den Gelben Tonnen und Gelben Säcken gesammelten Abfälle gehören dort nicht hinein. "Falsch entsorgter Abfall kann zusätzliche Kosten für alle Mieter*innen verursachen. Noch wichtiger ist: Richtige Mülltrennung ist Voraussetzung für funktionierende Wertstoffkreisläufe", erklärt Axel Subklew, Sprecher der Initiative "Mülltrennung wirkt". Geraten Verpackungen aus Kunststoff, Glas oder Papier in den Restmüll, können sie nicht recycelt werden.Wie die richtige Mülltrennung im neuen Zuhause funktioniert, erklärt die Initiative "Mülltrennung wirkt":

Was kommt wohin? Die wichtigsten Regeln für den ersten eigenen Haushalt

Gelbe Tonne und Gelber Sack: Verpackungen richtig entsorgen

Die einfache Grundregel lautet: In die Gelbe Tonne und den Gelben Sack gehören ausschließlich gebrauchte und restentleerte Verpackungen, die nicht aus Papier, Pappe, Karton oder Glas sind.

Das sind Leichtverpackungen aus Kunststoff wie Joghurtbecher oder Shampooflaschen. Auch Aluminium- und Weißblechverpackungen wie Konservendosen oder Senftuben und Verbund-materialien, zum Beispiel Getränkekartons, kommen in die Gelbe Tonne oder den Gelben Sack.

Altpapier und Altglas

Papier, Pappe und Karton werden in der Altpapiertonne gesammelt. Glasflaschen ohne Pfand und Einweggläser werden, nach Farben sortiert, in die entsprechenden Altglascontainer geworfen.

Bio- und Restmüll

Organische Abfälle wie Gemüse- und Obstreste gehören in die Biotonne. Auch Speisereste dürfen vielerorts dort hinein - welche Regeln genau gelten, legt die jeweilige Kommune fest.

In die graue oder schwarze Tonne gehört der Restmüll. Das sind beispielsweise Hygieneartikel wie Papiertaschentücher, Einwegrasierer und gebrauchte Küchentücher sowie Zigarettenkippen.

Richtig trennen: Darauf kommt es an

Ausleeren, aber nicht ausspülen

Verpackungen, die in die Gelbe Tonne oder den Gelben Sack entsorgt werden, sollten "restentleert", also möglichst frei von Resten sein. Ausspülen ist jedoch nicht nötig.

Deckel & Co. ab

Deckel, Verschluss- und Sichtfolien oder Kunststoffummantelungen getrennt von der Verpackung in die Gelbe Tonne oder den Gelben Sack entsorgen. So können unterschiedliche Materialien von den Sortieranlagen besser erkannt und recycelt werden.

Nicht stapeln

Verpackungen nicht ineinanderschieben oder stapeln - das erschwert die Arbeit der Sortieranlagen. Getränkekartons & Co. können dagegen flachgedrückt werden.

Den Durchblick behalten

Verpackungsabfälle lose oder in transparenten Abfallsäcken in die Gelbe Tonne oder den Gelben Sack entsorgen. So können Müllwerker*innen falsch entsorgte Abfälle bei der Abholung leichter erkennen.

Vorsicht Brandgefahr: E-Zigaretten sicher entsorgen

E-Zigaretten enthalten Lithium-Ionen-Batterien und gehören als Elektrogeräte niemals in den Hausmüll - weder in die Gelbe Tonne oder den Gelben Sack noch in den Restmüll. Beschädigte Batterien können Brände verursachen. Ausgediente E-Vapes müssen daher bei einer Sammelstelle für Elektroaltgeräte abgegeben werden, etwa auf dem Wertstoffhof oder im Handel. Das gilt auch für andere Elektrogeräte wie Föhn oder Toaster.

Mülltrennung: Gut für Klima und Ressourcen

Richtige Mülltrennung schont Klima und Ressourcen. Eine Studie des Öko-Instituts zeigt: Durch die Verwertung von Verpackungen aus der Gelben Tonne und dem Gelben Sack, aus Glas sowie aus Papier, Pappe und Karton werden in Deutschland jährlich 1,95 Millionen Tonnen CO2-Äquivalente eingespart. Gleichzeitig werden durch Verpackungsrecycling im Jahr rund vier Millionen Tonnen Sekundärrohstoffe erzeugt. Sie sind eine wichtige Rohstoffquelle für die Herstellung neuer Produkte.

Für den Einstieg in die richtige Mülltrennung bietet die Initiative "Mülltrennung wirkt" viele Tipps und übersichtliche Trenntabellen zum Download an.

Über "Mülltrennung wirkt"

"Mülltrennung wirkt" ist eine Initiative der dualen Systeme in Deutschland. Die dualen Systeme organisieren mit ihren Dienstleistern aus der Entsorgungs- und Recyclingbranche die Sammlung, Sortierung und Verwertung gebrauchter Verkaufsverpackungen. Grundlage für ihre Arbeit ist das Verpackungsgesetz. An der bundesweiten Initiative "Mülltrennung wirkt" sind aktuell zehn duale Systeme beteiligt. Gemeinsam wollen sie über richtige Abfalltrennung und Recycling von Verpackungen aufklären, mit Irrtümern und Müllmythen aufräumen und möglichst viele Menschen zum Mitmachen motivieren.
