First look in the mirror and around your house and understand the reycling & waste streams associated with everything you own, including, vitally, all that unseen packaging that was removed from clothing, electronics, furniture etc etc - most often before you even saw or purchased them! Once you understand your TRUE footprint you can then start to think about how much power you have as an educated consumer, employee, employer, business owner - get involved with community efforts to educate others on sustainability, either as a low key effort such as talking about our footprints, and/or by actively advocating for/donating to/volunteering at Sustainability groups who are leading the way our communities engage these vital issues. Of course, you can always start by reaching out to our plastics recycling non-profit at www.plastic-beach.com to join us 😘

Having a corporate Independence Day celebration? Be sure you walk the talk! It’s a great opportunity to bring in sustainability values and even start new habits on site. Here are a couple tips: -Avoid single-use plastic where possible -Set up clearly demarcated recycling bins -Have a plan for excess food after the party is over, such as donating to a food pantry, or having employees bring in their own Tupperware to take home leftovers. Bonus points? Share how you made your corporate celebrations more sustainable on social media.

I am probably going to embarrass our Glass4Good team with this post. Not to worry, though, it's the good kind of "embarrass."           Glass4Good is one of our favorite initiatives. @Elizabeth @Sammy @Bob and the rest of the dream team behind the scenes have turned #Glass4Good into a multi-community initiative. They brought to life an idea about how to recycle differently from whole cloth.   These three build these community glass recycling programs from scratch, and usually do it in the communities that don’t have access to glass recycling. Since its start in 2021, Glass4Good has collected more than 320 tons of glass in our plant communities. That’s the equivalent to:   ✅ Recycling 1.5 million beer bottles ✅ Recycling 800,000 wine bottles ✅ Saving 111,000 kg of CO2   Not only do we provide people a way to recycle this valuable material and get more quality glass to return to our process, but O-I sets these up to make a charitable donation to the community’s United Way (the more glass recycled, the higher the donation) to support local community need.   It is simply amazing what a team of determined, passionate people can do together. I'm so proud of them and what they have done and are doing. Their future work is going to be awesome.   G4G is the ultimate example of our sustainability vision in action: using collaboration to create the balance that represents the concept of sustainability. Always striving to find just the right harmony among our operations and the products we make, the current and future needs of our communities, the planet, and our collective prosperity.   Improving recycling requires a supply chain full of invested and motivated stakeholders. Glass4Good is one of several initiatives we’re building to increase recycled content in the bottles we produce. Come ask us what’s possible … or maybe just help me embarrass the team and juice their motivation even more!   #glassrecycling #supplychain #recycledglass #manufacturing #communities #culture #recycling

Living sustainably goes beyond recycling and reducing plastic waste. Another impactful way to make a positive change in your environment is by donating clothes or other items you aren't using. You'll not only declutter your space but give these items a new life, reducing your carbon footprint while helping others in need. At Happen Ventures, we believe that living sustainably is about making conscious choices for the betterment of our planet and future generations. We promote sustainable lifestyle practices and encourage everyone to take action, no matter how small. Head to www.happenventures.com to learn more about our approach and how you can join us in making a difference in the world. Together, let's work towards creating a more sustainable and greener future. #LivingSustainably #Donate #Sustainability #GreenFuture #HappenVentures

WE'VE RESCUED 50,000 OCEAN-BOUND PLASTIC BOTTLES 🌊 We are proud to announce that we have saved over 50,000 ocean-bound plastic bottles since launching our ocean plastic concept with Greenspark and Plastic Bank in March last year. 🌎 With every order, we donate money to help fund the work of Plastic Bank. They give us an exact measurement of how many pieces of ocean-bound plastic it will remove, so both Proverb and our customers can measure their personal impact. 📈 By purchasing Proverb products, you are already saving plastic in your bathroom by using our products through our refillables and reloads. But this is going one step further in helping us physically remove ocean-bound plastic 🌊 📲 We want to spread the word on creating the biggest impact on the planet as possible - whether you are a business, influencer or entrepreneur, let's see if we can work together to save ocean-bound plastic. 👉 If you want to connect with us to talk further about partnerships please contact Luke Sherriff at luke@proverbskin.com #plasticwaste #plasticpollution #oceanplastic #oceanconservation

We all like to do our bit for the planet, but have you ever thought about how to be sustainable when moving house? ♻️ Packing, cleaning, transporting and unpacking a home can use a lot of energy, but you can improve the sustainability of your move by: 👉 Using recyclable materials like cardboard boxes and newspaper cut offs 👉 Packing things in objects you already have, like suitcases and holdalls 👉 Recycling or donating things you don't need before you move 👉 Using natural cleaning materials to clean before you move out Find out more in our blog here: https://lnkd.in/ec7ZNk8x #Ballards #BallardsRemovals #RemovalsAdvice #MovingHouse

In our ongoing efforts to tread lightly on our planet, Itecor has been quietly committed to recycling IT material for many years. It's a path we've walked with the belief that every small action counts towards a larger goal of sustainability and circularity. Recently, we've taken another small step on this journey. We had the opportunity to donate IT equipment to the Société de Sauvetage d'Yvoire, a gesture that, while modest, reflects our deep-rooted commitment to not just reducing waste but also supporting our community. This act is but one of many in our long-standing practice of giving technology a second life, ensuring it serves beyond its initial purpose. It's the collective impact of many small actions that drives real change. We share this update to acknowledge our sustainable continuous improvement path and our commitment to support further actions leveraging our social responsibility. #itecor #csr #responsiblebusiness

In the Netherlands, there is a deposit system for bottles and cans. €0.15 is added to the price of the drink, which you can later retrieve by returning the packaging at collection points in every major supermarket and elsewhere. This system, which exists in many European countries, is designed to reduce waste and encourage recycling. 🌍♻️ However, some people are not willing or able to carry empty packaging until they reach a return point or return home. This leads to some harmful waste still ending up in the trash, which of course poses a problem for waste processing and the recycling process. 🚮 The city of Amsterdam has come up with a very creative solution! It cares for the environment while simultaneously helping people in need. 💡👍 These "donation rings" (doneerringen) make it easier for people in need to collect these unwanted items and collect the deposit. You don't have to carry an unwanted bottle; the bottle is more likely to actually be recycled; and someone who could really use the money has the opportunity to collect it. 💰🔄 This example shows that sometimes, all we need is a small budget and a lot of creativity to make positive changes! 🌟🌱

Is a world without plastic possible? 🤔  According to a study by the Pew Charitable Trust, we have the tools and existing technology to reduce annual flows of plastic into our oceans by up to 80% within the next two decades.  Some of these solutions include mandating caps on plastic and introducing better and more efficient reuse and return systems.  There's nothing we can't accomplish when we come together. Are you ready for a plastic-free planet?
