1. A method for recycling raw materials from a plurality of streams generated by waste stream providers, comprising:
- monitoring production of items produced by a plurality of waste streams providers and determining an amount of reusable raw materials contained in a plurality of waste streams resulting from said production via a waste stream monitoring module;
communicating production information from said plurality of waste stream providers to said waste stream monitoring module via a waste stream provider interface and communications link;
storing said amount of reusable raw materials contained in said plurality of waste streams in a reusable materials database, said reusable materials database in communication with said waste stream monitoring module;
wherein said reusable raw materials are available for purchase;
associating a purchase price with each of said reusable raw materials, said purchase price stored in said reusable materials database; and
viewing said reusable raw materials via a user access interface and communications link, said user access interface in communication with said reusable materials database.
