A Word About Recycling with Ollie Maier

It is very encouraging that not only are businesses involved with recycling, looking for better ways to improve methods both to extract more materials from the waste stream and save money, but that universities are also getting involved by doing research into problems with possible solutions.

In an article from a recent Resource Recycling newsletter, a $1.8 million grant from the National Science Foundation to support research into better separation of metals in consumer electronics was announced.

The money is going to the University of Pennsylvania which is working with scientists from a number of other universities.
