This brings us to the issue of waste, with industry arguing that classifying titanium dioxide as a “suspected carcinogen” would lead to a lot of waste being newly classified as hazardous, thus making it ineligible for recycling and reuse within the circular economy, and in turn more costly to treat and dispose of. These arguments about the ‘downstream’ use of titanium dioxide have been taken up by various industries, including the aluminium sector, whose bauxite residue or ‘red mud’ can contain high levels of titanium dioxide, and the paint industry.</q></p></blockquote><p/><center>·</center><p/>ITPro<br/><a href="https://www.itpro.co.uk/digital-currency/33931/the-turbulent-politics-of-irans-cryptocurrency-mining-debacle">The turbulent politics of Iran's cryptocurrency mining debacle<p/><center><img src="https://cdn2.itpro.co.uk/sites/itpro/files/styles/article_main_wide_image/public/2019/07/iran_cryptocurrency.jpg" /></center></a><br/><blockquote><p><q>Day's before Rajabi's announcement, Mohammad Hassan Motevalizadeh, CEO of Tavanir, Iran's state-run power distribution company, sent a letter to provincial power distribution companies to identify mining operations and cut their power until government regulations are in place.</q></p></blockquote><p/><center>·</center><p/>naked security by SOPHOS<br/><a href="https://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2019/07/05/bitcoin-eats-as-much-energy-as-switzerland/">Bitcoin eats as much energy as Switzerland<p/><center><img src="https://sophosnews.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/shutterstock_1304766700-compressor.jpg" /></center></a><br/><blockquote><p><q>Always-on but inactive home devices in the USA consume enough electricity per year to power the Bitcoin network for 4 years.
