Tuesday, August 10th CREW Charlotte participated in a tour and lunch at Charlotte’s Innovation Barn, 932 Seigle Avenue. After a brief introduction to the principles of Circular Economies Amy Aussiker, of Envision Charlotte, provided a tour of Charlotte’s new circular economy hub.
Members were introduced to:
– Crown Town Compost’s soldier fly facility where food waste fuels new growth cycles.
– How reclaimed aluminum cans are sorted, compacted, and baled for recycling.
– How plastic waste can be recycled into filament for 3d printers and bricks.
– How glass bottles can be pulverized to sand (with demonstration assistance from Scarlett Powell) for use in concrete, landscaping, or for the creation of new glass products.
– A Learning Kitchen where people can learn how to reduce food waste, and use the newest energy-efficient appliances (such as induction cooktops).
– A showroom for Carolina urban Lumber, where furniture made from fallen Charlotte trees start their new use.
– Vertical Aquaponics, and how aquaponic farming of fish coincides with soldier fly larvae and providing fertilizer to grow vegetables.
Members then enjoyed lunch in the RePour Taproom.
