Obaggo Recycling, LLC (Accelerator)

Company Description: Post-consumer plastic bags and packaging film are one of the most difficult types of commodities to recycle, primarily due to the thin, flimsy form of the material. But bags are good stuff, you can recycle them into many different products. Unfortunately, bags are a contaminant at the Material Recovery Facilities that sort recyclables, and are banned from almost all curbside recycling programs. Millions of tons are landfilled each year. Obaggo solves this problem with a kitchen appliance that thermoforms your plastic bags into a “hockey puck”, that can be commingled in your curbside recycling bin. This hockey puck flows effortlessly through the recycling stream. Obaggo is the new shape of recycling.
