Greenopolis - RecycleMatch Turns Trash into Treasure
By Derek Markham - Greenopolis - June 2010 - RecycleMatch Turns Trash into TreasureRecycleMatch helps to transform commercial waste into value by converting one company’s waste stream into useful materials for another.
Just about every manufacturer ends up with waste or scraps that must be dealt with - sometimes by paying another company to haul it away and process or trash it - and a business called RecycleMatch is working to change the way that companies deal with their waste.
Some items are easy to deal with, such as paper, cardboard, or metal, because the infrastructure is already set up to handle the recycling of these materials. But what about the waste that doesn’t easily fit into that scheme, such as exterior glass windows, which aren’t accepted in the recycling stream as glass bottles are? “RecycleMatch matches waste streams and under valued resources with potential users of the resources, to help create new revenues and savings for the companies participating - while at the same time having a positive impact on the environment.” To see the full article on the Greenopolis website please click here - http://greenopolis.com/goblog/derekmarkham/recyclematch-turns-trash-treasure
