Recyclops Recyclops brings recycling to areas where it isn’t traditionally available. Approximately 50 million Americans live in locations without access to convenient residential recycling. The two portions of the population that struggle the most with recycling are those living in rural homes and those in high-density urban homes. Recyclops has been successful in bringing recycling to these areas by leveraging technology and the gig economy. By hiring independent contractors with pickup trucks and using a tech driven smart routing app they have been able to eliminate many of the logistical problems that have kept recycling from happening in these areas. Recyclops currently operates in over 30 cities in 3 states and plans to bring recycling to 1 million homes in the next 5 years.

Renewlogy’s (PK Clean) purpose is to develop technologies and processes to address our core mission of preventing landfill-bound waste. We envision a world in which there is no waste, as each item is renewed in some way. Renewlogy was founded at MIT in 2011. Through our proprietary chemical recycling process, which allows plastic to be reversed back into its basic molecular structure, we convert non-recycled plastic waste into new valuable products such as high-value fuels. Renewlogy has three key initiatives through which it fulfills its core mission: Renewlogy Energy, Renewlogy Waste Zero, and Renewlogy Oceans. Through these initiatives Renewlogy helps cities and companies meet their zero waste goals, prevent waste from entering oceans, and provides companies with solutions to create higher value products from hard-to-recycle plastics. Renewlogy’s first facility is located in Salt Lake City, and is currently building its next facility in Canada.
