 e curbside collection of this resource? Join us to learn more about the co
 mplexities of glass recycling and discuss exciting new initiatives around 
 recycling and reuse with local nonprofit Waste Loop and Washington-based s
 tart-up\, ZEWA. \n\nWaste Loop has been diverting glass from the landfill 
 since 2019 and is currently working to strengthen and expand its collectio
 n and hauling capacity through piloting a human/bicycle powered glass recy
 cling collection service within the downtown core. Through surveys\, engag
 ement with city officials\, and circulating ideas such as incorporating co
 nsumer paid bottle- tax programs\, Waste Loop is hopeful they can make thi
 s program easily accessible. \n\nZEWA's mission is to revolutionize waste 
 management through a dynamic marketplace and reverse logistics network\, i
 n which glass that has been traditionally disposed of via landfilling or r
 ecycling can instead be reused. Their goal is to foster a community-driven
  shift towards a sustainable and circular economy\, creating a positive im
 pact on the environment and redefining waste as a valuable resource. Curre
 ntly\, ZEWA is concentrating on the rollout of its pilot residential glass
  upcycling service in Tacoma and Seattle. They are currently assessing sup
 port for a similar service in the Wenatchee Valley\, particularly focused 
 on engaging wineries in the region\, thus addressing the significant carbo
 n pollution associated with their single-use heavy glass packaging.
