Recovered Materials from Waste Stream

Jan. 30, 2012 - PRLog -- Today, ecycler Inc. has announced that via two local businesses, it has recovered over 300 pounds of aluminum from tapping into what was previously a waste stream. Almost 9000 cans have been recycled in 2011 from these two businesses, one a restaurant and one a large automobile dealership.

Ecycler’s co-founder, Timothy Laurent explains, “Of course, 10,000’s of cans and bottles have been recycled through ecycler, but these two businesses show a great density of materials.”

Ecycler expanded its offerings to include a “hard-to-recycle” materials service in fourth quarter 2011. In only a few months, almost a thousand pounds of miscellaneous materials, like crayons, CD’s, VHS tapes, tennis balls have been diverted from the landfill to specialized recyclers. For example, 33 pounds of crayons have been transformed into new crayons ready for a child’s art project.

Laurent details, “In the process of Recovering Materials from a waste stream, everyone’s a winner. Fewer tons of waste go into the landfill—instead, those materials will find new life. This action not only creates a greener world for us, but also supplies much needed opportunities to the workforce.”

For early 2012, ecycler started the collection of books for recycling, in addition to the ten other hard-to-recycle materials already offered via http://ecycler.com/.  Ecycler will continue to expand the recovery of materials by reducing the amount of recyclables going into the waste stream of businesses and residential households.
