🌍 All packaging leaves an environmental footprint, but did you know that the choice of material can make a big difference? 🌱 It takes energy and raw materials to produce, transport, and recover or dispose of packaging. That's why it's crucial to consider the entire lifecycle of a product. Polystyrene packaging stands out because it uses less energy and fewer resources to manufacture compared to alternatives. #EPS packaging is also the easiest to recycle multiple times. We have been doing this for more than 10 years. Let's make smarter, more sustainable choices together! ♻️ #Circleplast #Recycling #EcoFriendly #Sustainability #PolystyreneRecycling #GreenPackaging

Wondering if staples, sticky notes, and paper clips are recyclable? Here's the scoop: Paper mills are equipped to handle common contaminants like staples and paper clips during the pulping process. So, no need to fret about removing them beforehand! Plus, if your recycling program accepts mixed paper, sticky notes are typically recyclable too (although it's always good to double-check).

Did you know that the lifecycle of a simple glass bottle is truly remarkable? It can endure for an astonishing 1 million years before it fully breaks down. This incredible longevity highlights the importance of making sustainable choices in our daily lives. By opting for reusable containers, recycling, and reducing our use of single-use plastics, we can significantly decrease our environmental impact. Because its life cycle is so long, and because glass doesn’t leach any chemicals, it’s better to repurpose and reuse it over and over again before recycling it. Let's commit to making a positive change and embrace the journey towards a greener, more environmentally conscious world. #OYUGreen #SustainabilityMatters #EnvironmentalAwareness #ReduceReuseRecycle #GreenFuture

Recycling myths🤔♻️ Myth: You need to remove the bottle cap from the bottle before throwing them in the recycling bin. Fact: Plastic bottles (including the caps) are ground up and put through a water bath. During this, the caps float to the surface whilst the bottles sink, making sorting easy. So there's no need to take the cap off - just look at the Coke bottles as an example! Want more recycling myths busted?

Today’s fun fact for Recycle Week: Did you know that almost all of the corrugated cartons we sell contain at least 75% recycled material? This is great news for the environment because recycled cartons: * keep valuable materials in useful circulation for longer. * save raw materials, energy, and water in the manufacturing process. * reduce the amount of waste headed for landfill or incineration. * cost less than cartons made from 100% virgin material. Plus, of course, our corrugated cartons are very easy for end-users to recycle, and maintain the recycling loop. Interested in sustainable corrugated packaging?

How to get through the maze?! Everyone is familiar with the basic rules of recycling: packaging in the yellow container, paper and cardboard in the blue one, and glass in the green one. But have you ever wondered what happens after you deposit your materials in the corresponding containers? In this post, we will talk about EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility) and discover why this concept plays a fundamental role in the life cycle of recyclable materials. #epr #extendedproducerresponsibility #recyclingindustry #plastic #waste #businesses #sustainability #climatesolutions
