'The Cycle' at RecycleBank

Over the summer, I decided to move on from Digitas after four and a half rewarding years with the company and made green my full-time job. I now work for a venture-backed company called RecycleBank on their business development team. To say life at an early-stage company has been busy is an understatement, and Marketing Green readers have probably noticed a drop off in my blog entries over these past few months.

That is not a coincidence, and rest assured, I expect to be back with more routine entries on green marketing themes shortly.

A few words on RecycleBank by way of introduction. RecycleBank is a socially responsible company that makes money by doing good for the environment and local communities in which we operate. Our core business model is quite simple: we provide incentives for people to recycle more. And at the risk of sounding biased, our model's pretty darn efficient. Wherever we deploy, we've been able to drive recycling rates through the roof.

Now that my current role allows me to practice some of what I've preached on this blog, I wanted to highlight a viral campaign we're launching. In honor of National Recycling Day this Saturday, RecycleBank has launched The Cycle, a compelling video series that focuses on how materials are separated and reprocessed back into useful raw materials.



Today, there is more and more emphasis being placed on cradle-to-cradle material use.

The Cycle provides an engaging and accessible story of how it is all done.

Single-stream recycling

Where I live in Malden, MA, they actually have a very decent recycling program. Although they are not single stream, they accept almost everything in their bins. plastics 1-7, I believe. Along with steel and paper. We here at Pixxlz on the other side of the river are trying to do our part by printing onto elephant dung aka ellie pooh. Really cool stuff, I will look forward to watching your other post on youtube. Keep up the good work.
