There is a lot to be done to improve the amount of plastic that gets recycled, but there are additional new ways we can solve the issue of plastic in our landfills and oceans.
You Make the Choice is an educational endeavor of PatriotBioEnvironmental to engage and inform individuals, businesses, and civic organizations about the full lifecycle of biodegradable and compostable products and special additives — their production, their proper use, and their eventual return to the soil. All to enhance the sustainability of our planet.
Times are changing. Eco-friendly products are becoming a way of life, and biodegradable, recyclable and compostable products are helping to deliver the future. This includes increasing our understanding about how best to match these materials to their best intended use. and how — at the end of a product's useful life — to properly and safely dispose of them.
Ninety-one percent of all plastic ends up in a landfill! That's right! In spite of our best efforts, only 9% of all plactic is recycled. Further, we use more plastic than we realize. It's not just the plastic that we buy in the stores and use, like water and soda bottles, it is also the plastic that is used to wrap cases of bottles you buy in the store, AND, the plastic that wraps the pallets of those cases that the store buys from its suppliers. Even if we were able to recycle more plastic (which DOES help, so please keep recycling), at some point that bottle, container, or other plastic article can no longer be recycled. What then? By choosing wisely what we buy, how we use it, and how we return it to the soil, individuals, businesses, and governments can make the choice for a sustainable future. Learn why, and learn how as you visit this website. Share your ideas with others, too.
