Reuse & Recycling aren’t new
Olmos Tools
• Many appear to have been made from down-cycled bifaces, such as triangular dart points.
• The most obvious example in this image is the specimen in the 3rd row, which is made on an alternately beveled biface, such as a recycled Tortugas dart point.

The 50’s and 60’s Waste Grows…

70’s…Earth Day...Blue Boxes…Limits to Growth……& Material Exchanges
1964 Union Carbide 1972• Netherlands, Belgium, Norway-Sweden
1973• Canadian Waste Exchange, Zero Waste,
Midwest Waste 1978 Piedmont 1980 North Carolina 1981 Northeast 60 to 70 programs eventually operating

80’s Hazardous Waste & Solid Waste Amendments 1984
Resource Reduction and Recovery Act creates a problem with liability
Almost all the waste exchanges close down

90’s
Natural resource prices increase Energy prices increase 2nd hand stores (physical waste
exchange) and printed waste exchange catalogues return
