A revolutionary new approach to recycling is making a big splash. The main objective of the Lasso system is to bring the process inside the home, thus ensuring greater closed-loop recycling and product remanufacturing.
This system consists of a small industrial recycling installation that can fit in any home like any other household appliance, recycling glass, plastic and even metals. Unlike traditional curbside collection recycling systems, Lasso produces much higher quality recycled materials that can then be remanufactured into goods of similar value.
The machine will not operate with materials in incorrect locations, so there is no possibility of contamination of recycling streams. This is made possible by special sensors and software that can analyze a material in seconds. This system can also integrate with local bottle deposit schemes, scan barcodes and refund credit to your account. Once shredded, the materials are stored separated by material and color. The Lasso team estimates that a standard household would need to empty their Lasso approximately once every 8 to 10 weeks.
