PLASTIC RECYCLING
Plastic is used in everything from water bottles to peanut packaging. And even though recycling plastic can be profitable, every year, thousands of businesses waste money by treating it as unsalvageable waste. In addition to potential revenue opportunities, recycling plastic can help you drive brand affinity thanks to your sustainable practices.
1. Conserve Nature Resources
When plastic is recycled, it reduces the need for virgin materials like petroleum. By conserving these resources, recycling reduces energy consumption, and mitigates pollution associated with resource extraction.
2. Reduce Landfill
Recycling helps divert plastic waste from landfills and the environment, reducing the strain on waste management systems. Plastic can take hundreds of years to decompose, and improper disposal can lead to pollution of water bodies, harm to wildlife, and unsightly litter in communities.
3. Save Energy
Recycling plastic consumes less energy compared to producing new plastic from raw materials. The process of extracting, refining, and processing virgin materials into plastic requires significant energy inputs.
4. Reduces Pollution
Plastic waste often ends up in the environment, where it can harm marine life, contaminate ecosystems, and degrade natural habitats. Recycling plastic, we can prevent it from entering waterways and ecosystems.
