And also the time for each single object. Here we callect glass, plastic and cans all together; at the recycling center they sort things by shredding and throwing them. The different specific weight makes them land in different bins. Thunderf00t here has material.

So let me get this straight. I'm going to invest a large amount of money ( Not even considering the amount of electricity, water, and time needed) so that this company can come pick up pre processed recyclables and sell them at a high dollar amount? I don't think so.

looks more useful for restaurants or smth. Little bit big and expensive for at home I imagine

Decent proof of concept. If they could add a tray where you could put in multiple items and walk away, and shrink it down to dishwasher size (or a little bigger with the tray), make sure it's very energy efficient, and add a good revenue share and/or rental program. Then maybe they will it get to market. If not, they will probably need to market it to restaurants or grocery stores or apartment landlords who can offer it as a free service to their customers. It may work for families living off grid or far from a recycling center.

Just what I needed a machine to wash and dry my trash. 🤡🤷‍♂️

Thanks for the video!

This is a great first step for hopefully a future at home recycling system (like way in the future not anytime soon lol). The cost and limitations are a huge factor right now but it’s a good idea and hopefully one day we can have homes with built in systems for all materials and maybe a way to turn those into new products on site at your own home. Like use the plastic to make new patio tiles or containers etc

Great step in the right direction for useful recycling that works. Innovation is sparked by trying ideas and thinking seriously about useful reuse is one step in the right direction. Great proof of concept

Hi! The Lasso uses about the same amount of electricity as a standard dishwasher. For water, it uses considerably less (since it uses hot steam to clean). In fact, the Lasso uses less water than rinsing out your recyclables by hand!

This refrigerator sized recycling machine would be great for a 400 square foot New York apartment. I was saving money for something useful, but I'd rather waste it on some large appliance to do something I could do myself. I wonder if this machine can lower gas, food, and energy prices, that would be super helpful.

Probably not right with what she said at the end. The polymer chains in a plastic water bottle breaks down after each heating cycle. This reduces the strength and other properties of the product. Hence, manufacturers want to reduce the amount of recycled plastic in a New product. So the water bottle that you put in will be recycled like 20% of it and the rest would be downcycled

This looks like something Cinco would make on Tim and Eric Awesome Show

The Juciero of household recycling.

This is where the real WALL-E's origin story begins!

This could work in a store not in a house

Nice intentions + bad execution = keep trying 😁

Me: Interesting idea. Price: $3,500 Me: out to the recycling bin.

looks like one of those droids ya see in the background of star wars

I want this in my kitchen said no one

This unit would be better suited for a laboratory that uses small sampling sizes of ground material for......some purpose.....I don't know what. For this to be worth having it would need to have nearly continuous use. Something much larger for use at the recycling center. Where it's more efficient to recycle.

Its so big, I'd rather have a fast food drink dispenser 🤣

If it made the recycled material into something usable to regular people, like metal/plastic filaments for 3d machines, then it would be pretty cool. But as it is, just increases the chance of the waste being recycled, like that doesn't make any sensw

Better if you donate 3,500+ USD to those who remove the plastic from the plastic island from the center of the Pacific.

So what’s the point of this machine in my home? Recycling centers does this stuff the most efficiently.

With this one you purchase it and maintain it, you clean and process, you pay for the cost of the electricity. Do you know someone invented one already that turns plastic back into a petroleum product that can heat your home? That one would benefit you, this one benefits someone else. That’s why it’s offered

$3500 so someone can come pick up my prime recycled goods and sell it for profit, all while still paying the city for my recycling bin that will go unused. There's a sucker born every minute I guess.

Hi 👋 Thanks for your comments! As this is just the prototype, the consumer-ready Lasso will be much quieter and faster :) We are aiming for 74dB and about 2-3 seconds per item. As for running costs, the Lasso will be about the same as a dishwasher. The material sold back to manufacturers will initially cover your collection costs, making them free to you. In the future, extra revenue from this stream of highly valuable uncontaminated materials will be returned to the Lasso owner. Hope that helps!

I see many problems with this kind of machine. Right on top of my head, how much energy does it use (never mind the noise and time consuming) and also, to whom am I supposed to sell the materials to? I mean with all the time and energy I investing in recicle my trash you don expect me to also pay for it to be made into products again

Hi 👋 Thanks for your comments! When we calculate the energy usage of Lasso in multiple households versus energy usage for mass processing of recyclables at a central facility, it's more than just looking at the energy usage of the machinery: it's looking at handling + transportation, facility staff costs, and overall efficiency of the processes.The Lasso produces more high cash-value end-products for closed-loop recycling (resulting in fewer items in the landfill), reduces handling and transportation steps by conducting processes in the Lasso itself, and does not have to support a facility staff in a centralized location. Even with an appliance in every home, the Lasso will be substantially more energy-efficient than the current system (based on total kg of closed-loop recycled product produced). Additionally, as the Lasso is both an appliance and a free collection service, we collect the materials directly from your home and sell them to manufacturers. In the future, the money made from selling these materials will go straight back to you!

how is shredding, recycling?

@LassoLoopRecycling

2 жыл бұрын

Hi! Thanks for your question :) Simply, the Lasso scans, cleans and breaks down inserted & accepted materials into their raw form. Each material is stored in separate compartments at the base of the Lasso - which keeps each material stream pure. Lasso guarantees closed-loop recycling, where every item is made new again, from a bottle to a bottle, a can to a can. We will be providing a service to pick up your end-products. Once the storage containers are full, you will be able to request a pick-up on our app - and we’re estimating pickups only 3-8 times a year! Since your collected materials are kept separate (maintaining purity and subsequent value) they are sold back to the manufacturer for remanufacturing. Ensuring the vital circular economy can take place. The items that are added into a Lasso absolutely DO NOT end up in curbside recycling or the trash or a landfill! Only 2% of curbside recycling is closed-loop recycled, with Lasso Loop providing 100% closed-loop recycling for inserted & accepted items!

Why would this not be sold to the recycling company? Why to the consumer to do extra steps. The recycling industry puts to much on the consumer

I saw a laser there, so that means this thing is going to be giving off VOC's inside your house.

The shredded materials are being emptied into plastic bags...

For anyone saying the energy cost is t worth it or that the machine isn’t as “clean” in pollution as advertised please think deeper. If our “dirtying” of the environment either contaminates our resources or we use what we know is available then we’re in for a way bigger problem than a personal machine using more energy. I energy is never destroyed or created only transformed/transferred so our job is to get more out of everything we use. Our thought of energy is only capped because capitalism doesn’t allow individuals to access energy without limits. Lasso allows us as a collective to do more with less.

Also seems like overkill.

Hi! Thanks for your comment! The primary problem with the current system is the contamination that occurs when everything is mixed together and then sorted out in recycling centers. This devalues the reclaimed material both in its financial worth and ability to be reprocessed. Because these materials are cleaned, sorted, and kept completely separated in the base of the appliance, they maintain their highest value for resale. As this is a market, these numbers are always fluctuating but currently there is a of materials with 0% contamination. We will not be offering monetary returns to start, but as these materials are valuable resources, our goal within 5 years, is to return that value straight back to you.

Jesus CNET, when are y’all gonna show something useful. I am more than capable of peeling labels and rinsing out cans and bottles. And throwing it in the mixed recycling bin.

Why not increase the size and market to disposal companies? Having this at home is great, but the issue with recycling is that waste companies still have to sort materials from the truck, which is where the shreds are likely to wind up in. If this company can develop a large conveyer system that can sort waste from recyclables for waste management sites, they will make insane money off of leasing alone.

impractical. . to big!. to expensive!. no benefit for the end user. but a good concept that needs lots of work ahead for a consumer product. it needs to do its own sorting, remove the lids on its own during shredding. also add an composter that turns organic waste like paper, liquid waste from the machine and food waste into soil. then make it the size of a dish washer and you might have a good product. the containers can be emptied into the recycles bin and organic waste into the garden.

This "green" thing or "save the earth" thing is being so exploitative. So what is the cost-benefit analysis of this unit? Not the price of it. How much damage to the earth is going into producing, maintaining, and running the gadget and how much benefit it is going to bring by what it does?

Very skeptical about this. Yes specifically PLASTICS recycling is broken everywhere, however recycling anything else is working as intended. What's the guarantee that this company will not just dump the problematic plastic waste it collects into a landfill/incinerator while turning a profit on the other things it recycles? I don't see a point in using this instead of regular recycling, unless your specific council is not able to provide recycling services which nowadays is pretty rare in developed countries.

I’m not completely saying it’s a bad idea. I could see version 2.0 being more practical and cheaper. However, this looks way too complicated and expensive for a home appliance that’s not critical. Ie., not a fridge, dishwasher, or washing machine. For regular people, this isn’t as realistic. Maybe if it wad subsidized, or maybe if you get a recycling credit tax wise. Or significant discount for products made with recycled materials. It just seems too complicated for it to have an impact on even changing our global conservation by even 1%. I feel bad for being so negative on this, because I would like to see a more practical way for us to conserve globally. But we as people are the smallest factor in this. Government and manufacturers along with innovation is what’s needed. For us people, it’s easy for us to throw our refuse out in properly marked distribution. It’s not like we’re throwing trash on the streets (at least we shouldn’t be).
