BONUS: The Grawlix Get the Facts About Recycling
After a week of trying (and failing} to use less plastic, we realized that we needed to stop bullshitting and talk to an expert. In this special bonus episode, we interview Will Hancock, a sales director for Plexus Recycling Technologies and a consultant to the recycling industry. Will takes us on the journey of a water bottle after it's tossed in a recycling bin and gives us the dirt on compostable plastics, companies that are turning plastic into jet fuel, ROBOTS WITH INFRARED VISION, and so much more.
We'll be back next Tuesday with a brand-new, full episode of Grawlix Saves the World, but for now enjoy this bonus episode!

- Some of the cool companies that Will mentions: Biofabrik and Fulcrum BioEnergy
