  1. “Each year, the typical American family throws out 2,460 pounds of paper, 540 pounds of metals, 480 pounds of glass and 480 pounds of food scraps.

  2. Hi, my name is Grant Foster and my topic is should recycling efforts be handled by the government or businesses and for my product I managed the recycling effort for St. Anne’s International Food Festival

  3. Why I Chose My Topic • Should the government or businesses handle recycling efforts? • My dad works as a regional manager for Sonoco Recycling • He tells me his opinions on how the government works and I wanted to see if he was right

  4. Research I Found • Recycling is incredibly underdeveloped in America, and we don’t recycle near as much as we potentially could

  5. Research I Found • Aluminum, paper, and glass are the most profitable recyclables because they save the most energy and can be recyclable repeatedly

  6. Research I Found • There are 4 necessary requirements to put a recycling program into place: an adequate source of recyclables, a system to extract these products from waste, a nearby factory to process these recyclables, and a demand for recycled products.

  7. Research I Found • Businesses can recycle wastes way more efficiently than our government can

  8. Obstacles I overcame • I had trouble finding information that wasn’t outdated • This was the longest paper I’d ever had to write

  9. Successes I had • I finished all my work on time • I spread out the work over a long period of time

  10. Link between Research and Product • I managed the recycling effort for the annual St. Anne's international Food Festival so that I could learn more about how a recycling business runs.

  11. My Product

  12. Reflection • I learned that I like to boss people around • This taught me how to act in a business setting • I found that it’s easier for me to talk to strangers than I thought it was

  13. Thank you for your time do you have any questions?
