Description
If we want to keep the planet habitable for future generations, we need to think about the future of recycling from a macro perspective. The EPA estimated that the average person in the US generated 4.5 pounds of waste per day in 2017 and 4.9 pounds in 2018. In the 1970s, that number was around 2.4 pounds. In this episode of The Future Of, Amanda Marrs, Sr. Director at AMP Robotics, reveals how AMP is advancing high-tech waste recycling to help design a more sustainable future. Jeff and Amanda take a broad view of the recycling industry—touching on everything from the process of recycling materials and promising technology to international trends and logistical challenges.
