Evan is an architecture engineer who found his way into the world of recycling. His journey began in 2019, when he came up with an idea to solve the problem of contamination in recycling bins by participating in a challenge. Together with his two other classmates, Evan founded Scrapp, a recycling app that helps people put trash in the right bin.
In this podcast, we talked about the importance of making conscious and sustainable decisions when discarding plastic waste, as it can save the public billions of dollars. There is currently a knowledge gap between plastic manufacturers and consumers that we have to minimize. Evan also shared with us about his experience with how difficult it is to compile data on the recyclability of our everyday plastic waste. During the podcast, we also discussed the importance of educating the young generation to get momentum on putting things into action. We agreed that Information and resources about climate change are accessible, and the new challenge is how to turn them into action. We hope that companies that produce fossil-based materials will become more responsible to find solutions and take care of the customer in an eco-conscious way.
