SwagCycle: Our Top 5 Favorite Recycling Trends of The Moment

The Top Five Recycling Trends Everyone Should Know About

Two of the most critical challenges that our planet is currently grappling with are the burgeoning volume of waste generated and the resulting surge in the need for waste disposal. Several studies are underway which attempt to combat this grave situation. However, new recycling technology as an alternative to waste disposal has emerged as the most viable way that we can address large-scale sustainability issues.

Advanced Efforts For Easier Recycling A more concentrated focus on new technology will remain at the top of the list when it comes to exploring recycling and waste management trends in 2022.

New recycling technology in a form of Machine learning, mobile applications, smart trucks, and robotics will continue to evolve and develop to make the process of differentiating various types of recyclables easier.

Continued Widespread Ban On Plastic Bags And Drinking Straws

With the rising environmental concerns over the hazardous effects of plastics, a renewed emphasis on the use of renewable and reusable bags and straws will gain further momentum.

A ban is already imposed on single-use plastic and polystyrene bags and drinking straws in several cities in the USA.

The widespread ban will not only continue to reduce the quantities of plastic bags and straws that end up in our landfills, but will also eliminate the use of millions of barrels of oil that go into producing these harmful products every year.

Production Of More Natural Packaging Due to the booming e-commerce industry, a tremendous amount of excess waste is being generated in the form of packaging. In the coming years, manufacturers are expected to focus on their packaging in more sustainable ways.

Innovative paper, hybrid paper, and bioplasticbased packaging with reduced carbon footprint will help to reduce the adverse impact on the environment of the burgeoning online retail industry & will mark itself a new recycling technology.

Establishing Functional Circular Economics It will become increasingly important that businesses and suppliers work with recycling organizations to improve recycling rates for waste materials and promote the use of recycled goods.

Through latest waste management technologies, such collaborations will ensure that maximum material components are recycled to keep them out of landfills and will also strengthen sustainable secondary markets for recycled materials.

Repurposing Outdated Branded Merchandise However, rebranding efforts by companies often lead to disposing of vast quantities of obsolete branded items. An alliance with an efficient recycling organization can help ensure that all unusable branded merchandise is repurposed, thus helping companies achieve increasingly-important waste management goals through new recycling technology.
