Roll Call Phase
DRIVING QUESTION
How can we make unbiased information and education around advanced recycling more accessible to all communities?
WHAT DO SOLUTIONS LOOK LIKE?
We need your solutions—here are some roadblocks we are facing.
Resource barriers (time, money, accessibility)
Logistical barriers (lack of bins)
Educational barriers (lack of information surrounding how to actually recycle)
Perception barriers (preconceived notions and behaviors surrounding recycling)
Think about smaller, rural towns where it is more expensive to recycle than it is to landfill—how can we help these communities make informed and viable decisions about managing waste?
We believe that Reimagining Waste is more than a mission; it’s our mantra. With that mindset, we lean heavily into providing free and easily accessible educational resources to audiences globally—but we need you to help expand our reach and uncover barriers that keep communities from utilizing advanced recycling.
“We strive to encourage audiences to live an environmentally-conscious lifestyle, consider simple ways to reduce, reuse, and recycle, and join us on our journey of creating a world without waste.”
