We want to reward you for your actions. That's why we created Greenopolis Rewards. You can earn points by recycling in our Greenopolis Recycling Kiosks, blogging and commenting on Greenopolis and by recycling at home in selected cities. These points can then be traded in on coupons for meals, entertainment, discounts and more.
Our Greenopolis Recycling Kiosks are a big part of our commitment to conservation, recycling and tracking waste to resources. This Tracker shows the number of bottles, cans and other waste these machines have collected so far. Check our Kiosk Locator on our home page for a Greenopolis Recycling Kiosks near you.
RecycleMatch helps to transform commercial waste into value by converting one company’s waste stream into useful materials for another.
Just about every manufacturer ends up with waste or scraps that must be dealt with - sometimes by paying another company to haul it away and process or trash it - and a business called RecycleMatch is working to change the way that companies deal with their waste.
Some items are easy to deal with, such as paper, cardboard, or metal, because the infrastructure is already set up to handle the recycling of these materials. But what about the waste that doesn’t easily fit into that scheme, such as exterior glass windows, which aren’t accepted in the recycling stream as glass bottles are?
“RecycleMatch matches waste streams and under valued resources with potential users of the resources, to help create new revenues and savings for the companies participating - while at the same time having a positive impact on the environment.”
The goal of the company is to create an industrial ecosystem which optimizes the use of energy and materials while minimizing the waste at the same time. RecycleMatch believes they can produce a system in which there is an economically viable role for every product from manufacturing processes.
Companies may list their waste products on the RecycleMatch marketplace by giving them the following information: a description of the waste or materials, the estimated quantities, the location, photos of the materials, packaging and loadout information, and the timing for availability. If your company has commercial volumes of non-hazardous materials that may have a second life as a raw material, you can offer them on the RecycleMatch marketplace.
If your company is trying to lower the cost of raw materials or attempting to shrink your environmental footprint by seeking a recycled raw material solution, the RecycleMatch marketplace may be a valuable resource. Simply post a wanted listing for the materials you need, and RecycleMatch will do their best to hook you up with a supplier.
With the huge volumes of waste created each day at manufacturing facilities, I have to say that the time is right for a business like this: Turning waste into resources.
