Ashby's hope is that "as we drill further into the waste stream, pretty much everything can be recycled."

In other countries, everything IS recycled. We're decades behind the worldwide trend in this country.

As leaders in consumption, we should also be leaders in recycling and sustainability. It's just that when comparing ourselves to the rest of the world, we do pretty well. We just have to do better.

I think that the problem is in the use of the fossil fuels to make and trasport the bales, it may be a step but i know that this isn't the ultimate solution?
