Startups Innovate Circular Economy Solutions for Recycling

Some clever companies are finding new ways to reuse things and reduce waste.

One company turns plastic that's hard to recycle into tiles and road materials.

Another makes useful stuff from leftover rice husks and straw.

A third company is using waste like coconut shells to create special materials for batteries, which could help make batteries last longer.

These ideas are helping to make things more sustainable, by keeping materials in use longer and reducing the need to mine for new materials.
