Each bar is wrapped in cellophane, which are then wrapped in the normal outer packaging. To make the 4 pack, they simply took 2x two packs and put them on a cardboard tray,and then wrapped those.
I don't think I've ever gone through so much unwrapping for candy.
There are private companies that do recycle plastic film. I'm in the PNW and I use Ridwell, and it's helped a lot. I still aim for Reduce first, try to not use plastic when possible, but with food that's difficult. Reuse obviously, and then Recycle as my last resort, and Ridwell is good with that. If you're in the PNW and are interested, I think I have discount codes since I'm a member, just DM me if interested
What do they do with the plastic?
Recycling companies have been known to sit.ply export it to another country with worse regulations and dump in the landfill. You should try to find out where their plastic goes and what happens to it. You can't really just trust that recycling companies are doing things right.
They break the styrofoam down right there and make new material. I am not sure if they do everything on premise, but you can see it happening right there with some of it.
If they are wanting recycling materials with no cash transactions. Those dumps in other countries probably require payment to use their services, so I assume they wouldn't want it if they were paying to ship it across the world to throw it in another dump right?
Recycling companies get subsidized by the government in a lot of places. They don't need to charge when they get paid with taxpayer dollars.
Eh good point.. there needs to be a bit more regulation over all these industries so the government pays for actual proper disposal rather than dumped elsewhere for more $.
Sorry, what is a PNW?
Pacific Northwest - Seattle/Portland, etc. So I'm guessing no :)
Oh, it's a part of the US. I'm from Europe.
Terracycle must be a competitor.
Have a friend who puts the majority of her focus on another R: Refuse! Boba tea shop says they can’t fill her reusable mason jar? No boba for her.
She holds onto her trash, and at the end of one year, had half a mason jar full. You could make out one thing in it: a luggage tag from mandatory business trip. Amazing!
And then a billionaire gets in their private jet, and in just 5 seconds of flight generates 8000 times more carbon emissions than she's saved in her entire life.
Okay, that may be a slight exaggeration.
It's funny how all roads lead to eat the rich.
