Thanks for watching! Find more details on the Lasso’s power usage, bottle rebates and revenue share on waste linked in the article in the description!
You’re fun and quirky to watch. I like you hosting. You inspire me.
$.75 in energy to recycle a $.05 can. Such innovation!
Aluminum sells for more now
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.
could make sense at grocery stores, restaurants, bars and so on
Agreed. This thing is pointless.
@Rodney DSouza It would make sense if they gave you a small percentage of their revenue back.. For instance, $20 cash back for every 500 pounds of recyclables that you collect and process for them.
@@thebigdoghimself That's 87,500lbs of recycled material just to break even on the machine lol
@Kris B Wow! How will I ever recover from such an original insult?
We could have this massive, probably extremely expensive, refrigerator sized machine in our kitchen…. Or beverage distributors could use real reusable or biodegradable materials.
Lmao
Simplicity kills them 😂
We have such a thing in Every supermarket in Germany. And we get 25 cents for bringing the bottles back…
Our machines take about 2 seconds to scan a bottle and another 2 to crush it… That thing here looks like from the stoneage 😂
Where I live we have a responsible company who is had industry leading standards in recycling. They do curbside pickups. No need for things like this here
I don’t understand why they’re pushing this for in home
@T o what? I just put stuff in the recycling bin. This thing is pointless.
@@GreenAppelPie This machine allows them to transfer the expense of sorting, cleaning, first shred, and storage of these recycled materials, which more often than not far exceeds the value of the materials. Then the homeowners give said materials to the recycling company at no cost, and the recycling company turns around and sells these materials back to the manufacturers and pockets every dime.
This would sure be fun to see in an office or a food court/mall, not sure if the home is the right place to start... especially if its that big and probably power hungry...
Sombody cat gonna get Shredded 😂😂
Loool! Giant industrial storage locker..so elegant, so fashionable!!
Had to check my calendar with this one...
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.
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
Just what I needed a machine to wash and dry my trash. 🤡🤷♂️
The corps that make these bottles should take them back, instead of home processing. Put this burden on the original bottle maker, not individual consumers!
Calculate the energy for manufacturing and material usage, with the energy of daily use. Convert that into coal powered pollution and ask yourself if this is a net positive for the environment.
Recycling in general is a huge net negative for the environment.
Nope
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
Thank you for your support! 😃
@@LassoLoopRecycling great going! Keep pressing forward. The world will be changed by people like you trying to address the problems with inventive concepts! Thanks for noticing my comments 😆and remember There's people who will slag you off for trying but won't try themselves 😤 and there's people who will see this idea and wish they thought of it!😳
Thanks for the video!
Seems very energy intensive
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!
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 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.
Nice intentions + bad execution = keep trying 😁
Wow!! Nice
This could work in a store not in a house
This looks like something Cinco would make on Tim and Eric Awesome Show
Me: Interesting idea.
Price: $3,500
Me: out to the recycling bin.
This is where the real WALL-E's origin story begins!
So what’s the point of this machine in my home? Recycling centers does this stuff the most efficiently.
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.
Better if you donate 3,500+ USD to those who remove the plastic from the plastic island from the center of the Pacific.
The Juciero of household recycling.
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
looks like one of those droids ya see in the background of star wars
Its so big, I'd rather have a fast food drink dispenser 🤣
I want this in my kitchen said no one
1:40 they couldn’t even put a bin underneath
If the storage bin was underneath they wouldn't be able to film the process
@@MultiHeynow123 use your imagination, they could have just pulled the tray to show the shredded plastic
Small plastic pieces are nearly imposible to recycle in a recycling plant..
Since when shredding became recycling?
Good point. It only adds shredding to the process. Nothing else changes.
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
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
With the municipal taxes I also pay for the waste collection and recycling; in the US, in addition to health care, do you not have this community service?
The way to go is actually to make those recycled bits worth something, otherwise it's plain stupidity and guilt for anyone to buy this
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.
$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.
Why is recycling falling onto the consumers shoulders? Make retailers pay and find a solution vs putting this monstrosity in my kitchen
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.
10 mins per single piece...amazing. It's like Lomi said look at this stupid idea we came up with and then Lasso said hold my beer. I take it back they are smarter than Lomi because they want us to 1) buy the expensive machine 2) we absorb all running costs 3) they pick up the 'high value' recycled materials and sell them for profit? lol
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!
Also seems like overkill.
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.
Hi 👋 Thanks for your comments!
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.
With Lasso we bypass waste management sites completely. Since everything is processed directly in your Lasso, they can be sold directly back to manufacturers, skipping the recycling center completely (where they would normally do the sorting, cleaning, shredding, etc).
@@LassoLoopRecycling Makes sense, but I don't pay for my waste disposal company and I'm not proactive enough to do more than toss in the green or blue bin.
The shredded materials are being emptied into plastic bags...
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!
$3.5k to make the world a worse place? There is no way this thing does more good than harm to the environment.
Thanks but I already have one and it's 100x smaller. It's called a nutri bullet.
Not for my house… too much going on, “not simple as that”. CNET, y’all lost y’all minds with this one. $3000?!?
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.
lol Americans think sorting trash is recycling..
I saw a laser there, so that means this thing is going to be giving off VOC's inside your house.
how is shredding, recycling?
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!
It's a cool idea except makes literally zero sense as home product since the end user gets literally nothing out of it just the sense of yay this company is making money off me.
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. Make that and I would buy one.
Such a waste of money. Not for the sake of recycling either!
Tad big for the kitchen no 🧐😂
Now why would I need this
Hi 👋 Great question!
Unfortunately the current recycling system is broken with only 2% of items in our recycling bins being closed-loop recycled. Lasso Loop is striving to change that, by creating an appliance that provides 100% closed-loop recycling for inserted & accepted items right from your home! This will create the vital circular economy that our planet needs to become sustainable and survive.
“We are able to sell them back at a high value “ lol after I’ve spent my time and money doing to grunt work for you? Nah I’m good
What a terrible idea. There is no benefit to the consumer, and all that material will likely end up in the landfill, as she stated at the beginning of the video.
LMAO, investors actually put real money into stupid companies like this one?
Looks dangerous
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.
Reuse is way better than recycle. Why produce all this waste with packaging in the first place?
Why is the Onus on us to clean up, as if we made the choice of using plastic ...... These companies made their choice and we are suffering, they should be held responsible and should pay the price not us
me parece apenas uma trituradora
but... why? what problem is this trying to address?

And everything went to small plastic bags. lol. That is so stupid idea.
Its big
...that's what she said 😏
I m business from india this product
Not a practicle solution at all, doesn't make sense to spend money and space for a machine which also requires a lot of energy i imagine AND on top of that a person has to stand by it and do all that labor(which people won't) only to do the job of larger better equipt facilities.
Home electric bill 📈
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).
Hi 👋 Thanks for your comments!
Yes! Lasso Loop would dearly like to do that. We are seriously looking into any way we can lower the height for iterations beyond the prototype. The Lasso appliance is already packed with equipment which makes it difficult to lower. However, as with all mechanical equipment, given time it will become smaller.
To start with, our goal is for this revenue to cover the cost of your collection (making it free to you). We will not be offering monetary returns to you from your end-products to start, but as these materials are valuable resources, our goal within 5 years, is to return that value straight back to you.
We're totally here with you on this... waste production and disposal is a massive problem and the Lasso is one piece of the solution.
Ridiculous. This cannot be efficient or good for the environment. Individuals do NOT need their own device. Insane.
People are too lazy to throw it in the right can no way they are gonna do this.
Much too much work for a machine which should scan, classify, sort and separate garbage on its own.
Waiting for a 10th generation of this product where I can just throw unsorted and more importantly unprepared-for-it-specifically, garbage directly from a bin.
im so sorry but this idea is just a waste of time and money, dont even think of this method. its just freaking crazy and insane
First
Sorry, I was
Wth
I laughed at the price. The key is to STOP using PLASTIC, not find a way to capitalize on peoples wallets so corporations can profit off of you. I’m gonna stick to my reusable steel bottle, thanks.
SO they made a huge machine that that basically shreds stuff. This does not need to exist in the slightest
This is absurd. Look at this thing.
Don't you like how it THOUROUGHLY examines the empty soda bottle?
The future sucks, what a lame thing
Not thank... I Have to buy your expensive machine, use my own power, take time to sort out each item, at the end the company is the one making the profit off my recycling...I rather toss mine out with the trash..
This is garbage it should come out sand. Just an over price shredder.
The Theranos of recycling
Someone got a government grant, I suspect. This is possibly the most useless thing I've ever seen.
What a useless device
