♻️ PLASTIC MINERS: Turning Trash into Value

Our mission is to accelerate the deployment of breakthrough technologies that address global challenges. One of those challenges is the proliferation of plastic pollution.
How did we get here? Big Oil Misled the Public: From NPR, How slick ads tricked consumers into thinking that plastic was easy to recycle, propelling production and consumption. But that was just a load of trash.
Where do we go from here? (VIDEO) Plastic Waste Turned to Value: From Business Insider, NER client Brightmark responds to plastic pollution with an innovative process that converts nonrecyclables to fuel. Their goal is to convert 100,000 tons of waste next year.
