Pitch

I recycle (some of) my paper and plastic. But do I know what happens to it. How much is actually converted to a new product?


Description

Summary

I recycle (some of) my paper and plastic. But do I know what happens to it. How much is actually converted to a new product? How much energy and resources are used in the recycling. 

Consumers must be presented with easy to understand numbers for what happens to their recycled materials. How much is recycled. Where does it end up. How much energy is used. 

This will first motivate consumers to recycling (if the solution is good) or promote competition for improved recycling solutions that have the most highest ratio of recycling/energy usage.
