🌍♻️ The future of plastics is circular! The U.S. Plastics Pact, uniting major players like Coca-Cola, General Mills, and Walmart, has released its 2023-24 Impact Report. The report highlights significant progress toward a circular economy while urging stronger collaboration across industries, governments, and consumers. Check out the full report below for updates such as Kraft Heinz eliminating 3M pounds of plastic annually by transitioning their Crystal Light packaging, and Pact Collective addressing hard-to-recycle packaging and plastic scrap in the beauty industry! https://lnkd.in/e3Rsb_Bv #newBinNews

♻️Cheers to progress!♻️ As reported by NAPCOR, PET recycling rates were at their highest level in nearly 30 years in 2023 (up 4% from 2022) with a 3% increase in rPET used in US bottles and jars. Keep up the momentum and recycle all your household plastics with newBin! #RecyclingFact #FactFriday

Oregon's recycling is getting a major upgrade! Starting this summer, a statewide recycling list rolls out, with new rules including higher fees for companies using hard-to-recycle plastics, recycling required in multi-family housing, and a styrofoam takeout ban. Would you like to see something similar happen in your state? https://lnkd.in/eUWwGRV9 #newBinNews #EPR

November 15th is America Recycles Day! While America could be doing a much better job at it, some good news is that the Polypropylene Recycling Coalition recently released in its first report that the less-commonly-recycled plastic type (#5) has seen an increase of 64M new pounds being recycled each year! So if you can’t reduce or reuse it, recycle to keep our valuable resources from going to waste.

WM's recent report is filled with valuable insights including the finding that 64% of the over 1000 respondents in their survey would be more likely to recycle if they had a better understanding of what (and what not) to recycle. That’s why newBin cuts the confusion by accepting all plastic types to take the guesswork out of the process and keep more plastic from going to waste!
