BIOPLASTIC’S

 

Made from oils, cornstarch, or vegetable fats it is estimated to be about 1% of over 230 million tons of plastic produced each year.

However, it may sound good, “Bioplastic”, but the problem is it has a varied end of life. That means that some “Bioplastics” can be composted but not recycled. Some can only be recycled but not composted.

Currently “Bioplastics” are still found in recycled plastic bales along with PET and others.

Composters such as Winrows does not accept food waste in “Bioplastic” bags because of the compostability issues.

Lets hope that Green Chemistry catches on and develops a truly compostable product therefore deriving value at end of life recycling.

What “Bioplastic” cannot be recycled in Fill-A-Box clean air system is ground into pellets and used as fuel in Stat-Medicament-Disposal process.

Do you know what products you use that come in “Bioplastic” containers?

 

 

WHY HOUSEHOLDS DON’T RECYCLE

 

The number one reason cited in a recent survey was convienence. That is, even a curbside program is inconvienent because the provided Recycling bins are:

1. Too large to fit in the home.

2. No constant reminder in the home.

3. No regular schedule for pick-up (waiting to fill containers before curbside placement).

or, without a curbside program, collecting items, (in some kind of container) and then driving to a drop-off center takes too much effort.

The next reason, is confusing programs, such as not being able to mix plastics (sorting or removing bottle caps), that is households think recyclers have their own secret language that they do not understand. So, it is just easier to throw it all in the trash!

Another cited reason is households do not like government funded recyclingprograms that is their own tax dollars used for programs that are not even marginally successful.

However, the answer can be found at Fill-A-Box and Winrows.

Containers, that fit nicely in your kitchen, clearly marked for placement of recycables, picked up weekly and placement of a clean new container, and a container that provides recycling of more products than any other program.

Plus, the added benefit of Greenebank Carbon Offset credits in your account by address/location.

LASTIC RECYCLING COLLECTION NATIONAL SURVEY

 

In May 2011 Moore Recycling Associates Inc. www.moorerecycling.com published a study of rigid plastics that were collected curbside or by municipal drop-off.

This study found that only 2.4% of the U.S. population with recycling access for all plastics, and only 13% for rigid plastics.

This study also found that a majority of cities and counties continue to use resin codes to discribe to households acceptable materials for recycling, which has confused the public.

Using number is unnecessary since all plastic containers are of one of these types of resin and it does not affect the recycability of the plastic.

The study found this type of education (using codes) discourages plastic recycling.

Fill-A-Box collection system recovers ALL plastics within the household.

Fill-A-Box encourages and increases the amount of plastics recycled by households.

And, as an added incentive, households recieve credit in their address/location account at Geeenebank of carbon offset credits.

Join the Fill-A-Box revolution.

 

 

IS RECYCLING WORTH IT?

 

 

In the past, there has been a barrier to Recycling! This was a subconscious, suttle barrier. YOUR RECYCLING RECEPTACLE. The design, and the size of the Recycling receptacle determined where you placed it in your residence, and that affected how much you used it for Recycling.

Size, usually relegated the placement of the Receptacle to the garage or yard. Out of sight out of mind! Fill-A-Box is designed for in-home convienence and as a constant motivator for items you place for Recycling.

Using Fill-A-Box, you will find increased numbers of items and the total amount that you recycle.

That increases your redeemable Carbon Offset Credits in your account at Greenebank©™.

Yes! Recycling is worth it! It can save the planet and put money in your pocket through Greenebank.

 

UNUSED-UNNEEDED PHARMECUTICALS PROGRAM

LAW PASSED (S-3397)

 

On October 10, 2010 President Obama signed the secure and Responsible Drug Disposal Act of 2010.

This law amends the Controlled Substance Act and allows Public and Private entities to develop a variety of methods for collection and disposal in a secure, convienent, and responsible manner.

Currently the DEA is developing rules which are expected sometime in 2012.

However, Controled substances as a percentage of unused-unneeded pharmecuticals is very small. And, currently if you log onto the White House Drug Policy you will be directed to either flush them down the toilet, or place them in a bag of coffee grounds and through in your trash.

Currently the EPA has found the presence of unused-unneeded pharmecuticals in your drinking water systems, streams and lakes throughout the United States, and a majority of these findings are not controlled substances, such as acetaminophem, cough syrups, etc.

Fill-A-Box collection system is an alternative to flushing your unused-unneeded pharmecuticals down the toilet or throwing them in the trash.

Fill-A-Box segragates unused-unneeded pharmecuticals from the rest of your recycables.

Fill-A-Box creates a database for your address/location of the unused-unneeded pharmecuticals recycled by you.

Stat-Medicament-Disposal then uses your unused-unneeded pharmecuticals for it’s wasdte-to-energy program.

THE PUBLIC HEALTH IS PROTECTED SAFELY!

THE EASE OF USE CANNOT BE QUANTIFIED!

IMPLEMENTATION IS EASY!

PARTICIPATION INCREASES EXPONETIALLY!

And, there is a safe and secure record.
