2 | Apply now to grab funding for your recycling innovation


There are only a few weeks left to submit your game-changing ideas to the Recycling Innovators Forum. And competing in the event couldn't be easier — simply submit a three-to-four page proposal by April 30.


If you have a creative solution that will help move the recycling industry forward, don't miss out on this chance to take your innovation to the next level. The Recycling Innovators Forum is a venue for individuals and groups to present their bright ideas. Co-located with the annual Resource Recycling Conference, the Forum is designed to shine a spotlight on new recycling concepts and connect inventors to the companies, institutions and organizations that can help turn ideas into reality.


A $20,000 prize will be awarded to each of the two top-ranking innovations, and finalists will have the invaluable opportunity to market their ideas to industry leaders. Whether you're a small-scale "garage innovator" in the beginning stages of development or work in a team at an established industry organization, this is a prime opportunity to gain exposure and funds to make a real impact in recycling.


Head to the Recycling Innovators Forum website to get complete details.

The Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries, Inc. (ISRI) and JASON Learning this week presented awards to students in a nationwide contest to spread the word about cell phone recycling. Students in grades K-12 were asked to either design a poster or make a video to raise people's awareness that cell phones can (and should) be recycled. The students submitting the two grand-prize winning entries, representing the overall best poster and video from all grade brackets, received a trip for themselves and a parent or guardian to ISRI's Annual Convention & Exposition in Las Vegas. The poster winner was Leanza S.M. Toves, 13, a 7th grader at Kapolei Middle School Ewa Beach, Hawaii. And the best video award went to Marlowe Lexvold and Ahnika Lexvold, home-schooled by Roberta Lexvold, in South Haven, Minn. The finalist posters and videos can be viewed on ISR's website.
