We all WANT to do the right thing. Just make sure you are following recycling guidelines and not just wishcycling.

Not all plastics are created equal – meaning not all go in your recycling. ♻️​

Plastic packaging like shampoo bottles, yogurt containers and clamshells are accepted in your recycling, while durable and reusable plastic items like toys, laundry hampers and water bottles are not.​

Waste of ANY sort doesn't belong in the environment. #1 PET & #2 HDPE belong in the recycle bin so they can return as new products.

Great reminder! PET is the world's most popular & most recycled plastic. That said, packaging serves a purpose. These are great tips on all considerations you should make.

As school gets back into full swing, this is a great reminder.

The rise of “underconsumption core” is a welcome reminder that helping the planet doesn’t always mean buying the newest, trendiest alternative. It also means keeping the materials we already use in circulation.

Lightweight PET bottles and containers (look for the #1 in the triangle ♳) are safe, resealable, fully recyclable, and made to be remade. Studies show PET can be recycled repeatedly into new bottles and containers.

So, when a PET bottle ends up in a lunchbox, backpack, or gym bag:

✅ Look for the #1
✅ Empty the container
✅ Place it in the recycling bin

When you recycle PET, you help it become something new, again and again.

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) Here. Now What?
