I want you to learn more…what CA companies are doing thus? Are these all private or are governmental agencies involved. How can I get involved? Mark, your writing is exceptional. The subject, so important.

Laurel -- There is lots happening all over. A lot of it in green tech startups, so private. But some of the technology they are using came out of R&D that was government funded (NREL material discovery database that I talk about in post #3) and the creation of on enzyme eating plastics coming out of UT Austin that I talk about in post #4). While I didn't target CA companies specifically, Glacier Robotics, who I talk about in post #4 is based in the Bay Area: https://endwaste.io/. Happy to talk more.

CA I will add is one of the most progressive states when it comes to forward looking legislation around the circular economy. Maybe that's its own post.
