Maybe you have to roll the bin to the curb once a week.<\/p>\n<p>For a large manufacturer, however, scale becomes a big problem. In fact, for many US manufacturers, recycling is nearly impossible.<\/p>\n<p>Sustainability should be a priority\u2014especially for the companies that create vast amounts of the waste we need to account for. But there are a ton of challenges to actually achieving that goal, and the manufacturing industry is behind.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/qz.com\/1714644\/how-the-worlds-biggest-polluters-should-recycle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read the full article in Quartz &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Who is Matt Iverson?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Matt Iverson developed Accumold LLC&#8217;s first sustainable recycling program in 2013.
