Nuggets:
- Currently there is more aluminum stored in landfills than in the mineral where aluminum is sourced in nature.
- Not all landfills are created equal. Landfills near industrial areas contain more metals like steel, aluminum, and iron.
- Jevons Paradox could be leveraged: The paradox occurs when technological progress or government policy increases the efficiency with which a resource is used, but the rate of consumption of that resource rises due to increasing demand.
Action Steps:
- Find ways to intercept potentially valuable materials before they end up in the landfill.
- "Bank" salvaged material for future use
- Reach out to explore partnerships with existing companies like Terracycle
