I think you would be surprised how many large companies have existing systems that ensure incredible waste production and limited recycling efforts. I think there are incredible opportunities for large and small company alike. Due to scale, small changes can make a huge difference to big companies. But I think it's going to be smaller companies who will be able to see treasure where others see garbage. And it's probably going to be someone outside of the mainstream who will take what ReccyleMatch is starting, and do something better still. I'm optimistic. Hi Maurizio,

I've been wanting to do something similar for building materials for quite some time. But it may be better to work with RecycleMatch. I hope you have a use for the company in the future. And the founders are really interesting people. Thanks for the comment. Hi Julie,

There are SO many companies out there that are producing much more waste than just you and I do on a personal level. Recycling is not the main focus for a lot of these small to medium sized companies. The larger companies probably have a huge monetary and liabile incentive to recycle, so they must be up to date with their EH&S policies, which keep recycling a focus. Recycling and other green initiatives should be imperative to all companies, regardless of size. I wish them luck. - Maurizio Maranghi - Great Post!

RecycleMatch is totally on-line, so they operate everywhere. They're kind of like Ebay for recycling. They're pretty new, so they don't have a large number of listing on their site currently, but we're hoping that they will be successful and make some great connections to keep material from the landfill.
