Kwik BagIt has been committed to reducing unnecessary plastics that are plugging up our landfills since 2018, when Harold Sokyrka (Founder and CEO) invented the Patent Pending “Kwik BagIt – Yard Pal” which is a portable bag holder that was designed to be able to adjust to washable, reusable bags which are used to collect compostable yard debris and recycling bags for cans and bottles. The Federal and Provincial Environment Ministers (CCME) created the Canada Wide Action Plan on Zero Plastic Waste with a goal to be Net Zero Plastic by 2025. Unfortunately, despite the goals and objectives they have accomplished very little – with exception of the plan to ban plastic straws and utensils that will not come into effect in 2022. Conclusion: Bureaucracy tends to have high goal initiatives - with limited success. Easy to "talk the talk" but can't "walk the talk".

Further to this, the Blue Bin method currently being used by homeowners is failing - due to the lack of education that is neglected by the MRF (Multi Recycling Facilities) or Curbside Recycling Collectors and after all of the expense and carbon footprint created picking up these bins, sorting through tons of “recyclables” they have (on average) a dismal 9% retrieval rate for the collection of recovered plastics, glass and metals, which are supposed to be sent on to processors who specialize in turning these items into reusable products.

The main reasons for such poor retrieval rates are due to Contamination and Co -mingling of materials, but also because MRF's ignored the importance of explaining "What Goes Where and Why”. Prior to 2018, they were sending container loads of "recycled materials" to China and were getting paid very well for these practices. Once China realized that they were receiving contaminated hazardous materials, that was impossible to sort into reusable items, they STOPPED accepting shipments from North America. Despite the expensive scanning and sorting devices that MRF’s now use, they still cannot improve their results and the remaining 80-90 % of materials NOW end up in the municipal landfills who now have to deal with it tax payer’s expense. This problem is not going to go away - unless drastic measures are implemented.

For the past 3 years, Sokyrka has studied the failures of MRF and Municipalities and collectors and has developed a “Fresh NEW Approach to Proper Recycling in North America. He has submitted a new Patent Pending Application that will actually compensate the members who partake in the new “Kwik BagIt Closed-Loop Rewards Recycling System” which is about to be launched. See how the “System” works: https://1drv.ms/v/s!AhnLB0riKBcRtyy420dOgCnGgMCR?e=OHIX41

He firmly believes that "Proper Waste Management and Recycling Practices -Start at the SOURCE - in Our HOMES - and NOT at the End of a CONVEYOR BELT”. He is convinced that the "System” is the answer to solving the many problems.

Currently, preliminary results of the "System" are retaining a rate of better than 90% of uncontaminated and non-co-mingled materials that once collected, go directly to the processors who specialize solely in the 7 different types of international plastics, glass and metals that every household dispose of on a daily basis.

This “Fresh New Approach” will reward the households, but also non-profit community organizations and the colleges who are members of the "System" for changing their recycling habits. This link will demonstrate how the system works: https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/cu/j1RC5Rc .

Since there is monetary value for the materials collected will be sold directly to the processors, this will result

in a profit to the community organizations, the universities and non-profit groups, where they can recoup the expenses normally paid to MRF and Waste and Recycling Companies.

Kwik BagIt will conduct 6-8 "Pilot Projects" in Canada and students will compete to find out which team will win the contest of a $5,000 scholarship that will be awarded to the home school.

Each Student will meet with the Administrator 2 times per week via Zoom.

Students will be assigned specific tasks and targeted areas for gathering social media contacts

Daily reporting will be required to update Google Sheets Activities with Team Leader
