When you think about Phoenix what is the first word that comes to mind? If you guessed hot, you are not alone! Anyone outside of Arizona would have said the same thing.
To be serious, the words that should start coming to mind are innovative, forward thinking, cutting edge and smart.
Phoenix has laid out an ambitious plan to cut landfill waste 40% by 2020!
Not many cities of this size, except for San Francisco are implementing stringent recycling or diversion targets like Phoenix has.
Did you know that San Francisco successfully diverts 80% of its trash away from landfills? They are actually aiming for zero landfill waste by 2020!
As you can see Phoenix is in rare company these days.
Taking It A Step Further
While being green for green sake is a worthy cause, the city is actually taking it a step further. The goal of this new diversion plan wasn’t just to keep trash out of the landfill, it was meant to spur innovation in our local economy.
The waste that is diverted is going to be repurposed for a variety of cutting edge business ideas such as creating crude oil out of plastics or transforming food waste into energy.
The market for second-generation biofuels alone is expected to reach $23.9 billion by the year 2020! Tapping into this industry is a great way to establish Phoenix as a hub for innovation.
This type of forward thinking is laying the groundwork for explosive economic growth down the road. Isn’t great to live in a city that is thinking about the future job prospects of our children while protecting the environment?
Ready To Rock And Roll
The city has already got the ball rolling with its diversion program. Planet Recycling, a local carpet recycling company has been contracted by the city to transform 540 tons of carpeting and carpet foam into new carpet and foam insulation!
If your carpet has reached the end of its service life, give Planet Recycling a call today. Let’s keep Phoenix beautiful for decades to come!
