Recycling

Did you know that the recycling industry in the US is a profitable venture? They take recyclable material, refine it, and sell it back to companies at a cheaper price than producing the material from scratch. But with ~300 million tons of trash generated annually in the US, up to 75% of which is recyclable, why aren’t we maximizing recycling efforts? Less than a third of the trash actually gets recycled. Co-founder of Glacier, Areeb, dives into the complex reasons behind this and shares how Glacier is tackling the issue head-on.
