🌏 Fact of the Day: Landfills & PET Bottles ♻️ Did you know that landfills are a massive environmental challenge? 😲 Each year, landfills receive tons of waste, including plastic bottles. 🗑️ 📊 One striking fact: 1 ton of PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) bottles can occupy a whopping *20 cubic yards* of space in a landfill! 🥤🌳 By recycling your PET bottles, you're not only reducing waste but also saving valuable landfill space. Let's all do our part to support a cleaner, greener planet! 🌎♻️ #RecyclePET #ReduceLandfillWaste #SustainabilityFacts

"While producing little recycled plastic, it nonetheless provides one more avenue for the fossil fuel industry to keep drilling." Advanced recycling is such a beautiful name to give to technologies like pyrolysis that are energy intensive, generate hazardous waste, fail to produce recycled goods, and harm human health through their pollution.

As 2020 Companies continue Acknowledging Earth Week, we turn to HP’s work in recycling plastics and ocean and environmental conservation. Since 2016, HP began targeting ocean-bound plastics. So far, HP’s programs to divert ocean-bound plastics have kept more than 1.8 million pounds of plastic materials, or more than 65 million bottles, out of the environment. They start by recovering plastic at coastal sources by teaming up with local communities, continue shredding and washing that plastic, and end with the recycled material going into more than 50 HP products, from laptops to monitors to cases. Anyone can do their part, which can be as simple as tossing a used plastic bottle into a recycling bin instead of a trash can. No matter how small the effort, we can make a big difference together. https://lnkd.in/eGVkqZFD #EarthWeek #OceanConservation #Recycle #HP #SaveTheOcean #SaveThePlanet #ClimateAction

We know exactly what it will take to address plastic pollution. Ocean Conservancy's Vice President of Conservation, Ocean Plastics Nicholas Mallos outlines these 3 (not-so-easy, but straightforward) steps: 1️⃣ Reduce. Cutting the amount of plastics—especially single-use plastics—that we produce is foundational. 2️⃣ Manage (collect and *actually* recycle.) We must push for policies that make recycling plastics easier, safer, more accessible and more effective, and that starts with requiring the plastics we use to be truly reusable and recyclable. 3️⃣ Clean up. Even when we achieve the most ambitious plastics reduction and management targets, we will still need to recover 40% of the plastics that pollute the ocean each year to reverse course.

Protecting our environment from waste is a shared responsibility. Litter and illegal dumping have environmental, social and economic effects.  At CCPB, we’re committed to reducing our impact on the environment. To help us create a #WorldWithoutWaste, we’ve put together easy steps that you can implement at home.  1. Keep the caps on so that they don’t become lost or become litter.  2. Rinse bottles and recyclable packaging before depositing it in your recycling bin.  3. Flatten bottles as they take up less space in bins and trucks. To preserve the earth for generations to come, let’s continue to reduce, reuse and recycle.  #CCPB #Sustainability #Recycling #ReduceReuseRecycle
