Second annual Recycling Innovators Forum winners announced


After hearing presentations from eight finalists this afternoon, judges at the Recycling Innovators Forum awarded a pair of $20,000 prizes — one to a group that pushes plastics recycling at hospitals and the other to a startup that uses recovered glass in roadways.


The Healthcare Plastics Recycling Council (HPRC) was announced as the enterprise/institution winner. The organization aims to build stakeholder coordination around recovering and recycling plastic material from hospitals.


The garage innovator category, meanwhile, was won by Ruby Lake Glass LLC, a firm that color-coats pulverized recovered glass and uses it in a variety of applications, including bus and bike lane demarcation.
