Did you know that America produces over 6.9 million tons of e-waste each year, according to a Public Interest Research Group study? Every product, even green ones like solar panels and efficiency devices, will reach the end of its useful life. So, how can we account for that and reach net zero waste? Last week, our staff members Sondra Morin, Rimjhim Agrawal, and Ryan Wilmington had the opportunity to get a behind-the-scenes look at the circular economy in action when they joined RDI, Inc. to tour their Chicago recycling facility! Their SERI R2v3 certified facility processes 3,000,000 lbs. of e-waste each month, ranging from solar panels to electric scooters and more. Each device is manually deconstructed so that 100% of the material is reused or recycled. We also got a sneak peak at their mobile solar panel recycling startup, Reverse Energy Solutions Corp. By bringing the recycling facility to the customer, they estimate that they can cut the cost of logistics and labor by 90%, making recycling solar panels more feasible. With millions of tons of e-waste being generated annually, it is crucial to see innovative efforts being made to tackle the problem! Thank you to Peter Zhang and Pruthvi Thogaram for showing us around. #zerowaste #ewaste #recycling #circulareconcomy
