This memo is really a short recommendation report.  Here are a few techniques and definitions will use, in addition the sentence and paragraph elements:

• preview of memo contents
• BLUF or bottom line up front in key paragraphs
• meta discourse
• revealing of bias
  • weighting of environmental problem (choose climate change or ocean plastic and recyclying/landfill problem aka solid waste disposal)
• revealing of method (use life cycle assessment/analysis)
• definitions:
  • embodied energy
  • fate
  • recycling limits of paper and plastic
  • landfill problems
  • "escape" into watershed and oceans
  • microplastic formation
  • sustainability footprints (carbon footprint/plastic residue)

Did you find Martin Hocking's work?  What about Charles Moore?
