Ever wonder how plastic gets a second life as high-quality pipe? Check out this video from Prinsco, Inc. in which Dr. Michael Pluimer from the University of Minnesota - Duluth delves into this journey, detailing how plastic from your recycling bin is transformed into pipes capable of efficiently managing stormwater for over a century! https://ow.ly/oE1L50RuTM3 FOLLOW PPI Drainage Division on LinkedIn and visit our website to learn more about how #sustainable and #resilient #corrugatedHDPE connects us to a greener future by turning single-use plastics into durable infrastructure: https://ow.ly/i7mU50RuTXw #plasticpipeconnects

Zero plastic waste in the commercial cleaning sector. That’s our mission. We’ve already helped our customers save 1000s of their single use plastic containers from entering the waste stream - where its destination is more likely to be incineration or landfill, rather than recycling. If you want to find out how easy it is to switch to our reuse, refill commercial cleaning system, contact Jackie McKellar or Chris Tapp or visit theplasticsolution.co.uk #sustainablebusiness #zerowaste #commercialcleaning

Something that I have already posted some time ago, but is worth to repeat again and again: ℹ️ Always remember that the recycling of plastic packaging waste starts with yourself. You as consumer are the first part in the chain where the packaging item becomes actually waste and then it is up to you if the waste enters into the recycling stream. ➡️ Therefore, collect your plastic packaging waste in the dedicated waste bin/bag according to the regulations in your country/region. (As example, in most regions in Germany it is collected in the „yellow bag“ or „yellow bin“). Thanks. 🙂 #recycling #plasticpackaging #waste

There is no Planet B – and we need your help to reduce the amount of plastic waste in NSW. We’re considering phasing out specific problematic and unnecessary plastic items and we’d love you to Have Your Say by clicking this link bit.ly/YourSayPlastic In NSW alone, 800 thousand tonnes of plastic waste is generated every year. And we’re only recycling 12% of that. If we all take small steps we can make big changes and #ProtectTomorrowTogether.

When it comes to reducing waste, Next is staying ahead of the game! In 2023/24, we successfully diverted 96% of our waste from landfill, surpassing our goal of 95% 🤯 Last year we collected 1,758 tonnes of flexible film across 450 locations, equivalent to the weight of around 300 elephants! 🐘 We also saved 139 tonnes of plastic by eliminating bag outers from NEXT bedding ranges, which is more than the weight of a blue whale! 🐋 To help achieve this, we aim to reuse the materials we collect, for example, plastic transit packaging is used to produce our Online delivery bags. This all helps us as a company to move closer to producing zero waste and reduce our carbon footprint.🌱 #Sustainability #WasteReduction #EnvironmentalResponsibility #LetsTakeItOn

The articulation of a clear and concise mission which has meaning for people in my experience can be a commmercial differentiator. Working in a positive, aspirational but also realistic environment with shared purpose influences psychological safety and engagement. #strategy

This #EarthMonth, let's talk about composting paper products! ♻️ Did you know that composting paper can be a great way to reduce waste, but not all paper is suitable for your compost bin? 🤔 ADEQ's Ashley W. from the Waste Programs Division is here to help you #compostright! Plastic bags, wax-coated containers, and packaging don't belong in your compost because they don't break down. 🚫 Wax or glossy coasting also makes paper unsuitable for recycling since the recycling process uses water to break down paper fibers. Those items need to go in the trash! Learn more ➡️ azdeq.gov/composting #CompostTips #ReduceWaste #FoodWaste #recycleRight

Not sure how many have seen this. Thought provoking. There is a lot to making the world better that has to do with how we handle waste in our society. #1 waste is food waste. Why aren't we separating to compost on a national scale better? #2 Plastic. We need incentives and rules to promote reduction of plastic use, and increase recycling in the US. (I think if we could separate compost and keep plastic separate we'd avoid a lot of the incinerator emissions for plastic burning that present scrubbing at smoke stacks doesn't cope with. But if there is no $ incentive its unlikely anyone will improve that. ) Waste should be separated by types, not just dumped all together in a land fill. 50 years ago the concept was in Europe to separate even if you didn't know how to recycle it yet. Trashed: The Secret Life of Plastic Recycling ABC News' groundbreaking investigation looks into how well the U.S. plastic bag recycling system is working, and how communities are impacted by nearby landfills and incinerators.
