Recently, I noticed my boys at Recyclearn often argues about e-waste among the recyclables we recover. I wondered why, until the weekend, when I saw Khaleed proudly showing off a light he had repurposed from e-waste. His room is now beautifully decorated with different versions of these lights.

No need for NEPA, I joked.

This moment reminded me that innovation isnโ€™t always about grand inventions itโ€™s often just a small tweak, a fresh perspective, or a simple turn in the right direction.

What creative ways have you found to repurpose waste? Letโ€™s inspire each other.

One of the biggest hurdles for startups in recycling and the circular economy is ๐ฅ๐จ๐ ๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐œ๐ฌ moving waste efficiently from collection points to processing hubs. Since we donโ€™t have our own logistics system yet, we rely on creative solutions like the ones shown in these pictures.

As a recycler, how do you currently tackle your logistics challenges? What methods do you think we can adopt to improve?
