Austin, Texas is the home to a company called Austin Resource Recovery, which supports the movement to create a zero waste world. The company collects used items and reuses them for other purposes and through this process creates zero waste. Another goal of the company is to create more eco-friendly jobs, which enforces their main goal for creating a waste free environment. The company also encourages other companies to join them and send them their waste to produce less waste.
This article demonstrates a promising future for a waste free environment. The creation of this company has also been an effective way of informing the public of the multiple ways to recycle. Another great aspect is that the company makes recycling easy to do and has given more people access to recycling. I hope in the future more companies are inspired to do what the Austin Resource Recovery company has done and promote a waste free lifestyle.
Hi Carolyn! This was an interesting entry- I liked how unique and specific this was. And it’s very hopeful and optimistic which is always good. I agree, hopefully other companies will take a cue from Austin Resource Recovery. How is this company creating a waste-free environment? Are there specific steps they are taking towards this goal?
I agree with both opinions in that it’s great that they are able to set a great example for other companies that will hopefully soon follow in their lead. I’m glad there are companies out there that have identified and are taking these problems head on.
