ReCircle Recycling: The world?s first 100% closed-loop domestic recycling appliance
Less than 9% of what we recycle actually gets turned back into its original product. Instead, most of our recycling goes to landfill or is used to produce low-grade products, such as road base or carpet lining. The ReCircle appliance will keep plastics, glass and metals separate so that it can wash, process and compact them ? producing valuable, 100% pure closed-loop recycled products ready for manufacturers to purchase and use again in new products. This means less virgin material is required to produce the billions of containers we use every day. Read all about it at https://www.recirclerecycling.com

A quick way to buy what you like
Amazon plans to help Snapchat challenge Instagram and Pinterest for social shopping supremacy. Snapchat has announced it?s slowly rolling out a new visual product search feature. You can use Snapchat?s camera to scan a physical object or barcode, which brings up a card showing that item and similar ones along with their title, price, thumbnail image, average review score and Prime availability. When you tap on one, you'll be sent to Amazon?s app or site to buy it. The feature is rolling out to a small percentage of U.S. users first before Snap considers other countries. https://techcrunch.com/2018/09/24/snapchat-amazon-visual-search/?
