SAN MATEO — For all the time and money put into recycling, only 20% of material is ever actually recycled. The system isn’t working. But at an incubator lab in San Mateo, they’re unveiling technology that may be the future of “home recycling.”
Sanders is Chief Technology Officer of a startup company developing a product called the “Lasso,” a home appliance that converts containers of all different types back into the raw material from which they were made. The current concept device is the size of a small vending machine, but the finished product will be more compact – about the size of a dishwasher.
“The financial modeling we’ve done shows that we can pay for it, pay for a scheduled collection, so the householder doesn’t have to pay for it,” he said. “The material an average household produces per year covers the cost and allows some to go back to the household. So, you’ll be paid for recycling.”
