In recognition of Earth Day, we would like to remind you how Dura-Fibre is working to drive sustainability and reduce waste. Containers and packaging make up the largest category of landfilled plastic. In fact, just 13% of plastic containers and packaging are recycled, contributing to 10 million tons of annual landfill waste. Worst of all, plastic waste can take hundreds of years to biodegrade. And that’s when it’s properly managed. When mismanaged, plastic waste can end up in our waterways and oceans where it harms marine life. Dura-Fibre is committed to providing responsible packaging by: - Using recycled materials to produce our paperboard, based on customer preferences and specifications. - Utilizing responsible processes and materials in our paperboard packaging. - Recycling our manufacturing waste. - Producing a product that’s 100% recyclable. #sustainability #earthday #packaging #paperboard #recyclable

Reducing plastic waste through recycling is a simple, yet impactful action we can all take. Remember to recycle your plastic bottles, containers, bags, and other items, and check with your local recycling program for guidelines on accepted plastics. When making purchases, opt for products made with post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastics to support the market for recycled materials and encourage companies to use more recycled content. As an APR member, we integrate PCR resin into our plastic closures and packaging components at MRP Solutions, reducing the use of virgin plastic, and diverting waste from landfills. Click here to learn about our PCR efforts: https://hubs.ly/Q02vB4qB0 Together, we can make a difference in closing the loop on plastic waste. Join us in recycling more and choosing recycled products to help build a more sustainable future, one step at a time.

Did you know that the world produces over 400 million tonnes of plastic waste every year? That’s a massive amount of waste, but recycling offers a powerful way to reduce it. Read on for surprising facts about recycling and how it helps us all make a difference! New Life for Plastics: Recycled plastic isn’t just used to make new containers—it can become eco-friendly products like phone cases, clothing, playground equipment, and even rugs. Impact of Plastic Waste: Plastic makes up 11% of household waste, with bottles accounting for 40% of that. Shockingly, one plastic cup can take 50–80 years to decompose, and over 13 billion plastic bottles are discarded each year. A Danger to Sea Life: Plastic waste in the ocean kills up to 1 million sea creatures annually. Recycling helps reduce this threat to marine ecosystems. Energy Savings: Recycling a single ton of plastic bottles saves enough energy to power a household of two for an entire year. It also saves 1,000–2,000 gallons of gasoline and conserves twice the energy compared to incinerating it. Were you surprised by these facts? Let us know in the comments! And for more tips on reducing plastic waste, follow us—we’re here to help you make an impact #Sustainability #Plastbuildcreativesolution #Upcycling

Did you know the world produces 430 million tonnes of plastic annually, with two-thirds used only briefly? Packaging alone accounts for 36% of this. Shockingly, 46% of plastic waste ends up in landfills, 22% becomes litter, 17% is incinerated, and just 15% is collected for recycling—with less than 9% effectively recycled. At Aquavita, we’re tackling this issue head-on with our bottle-less drinking water solutions, reducing plastic waste one dispenser at a time. Together, we can make a difference. How are you reducing plastic waste in your daily life? #Sustainability #GoBottleless #ClimateAction #Singleuseplastics

It's Recycling Week! Did you know that the plastic used for our Cleaner, Industrial, and Multipurpose products is Plastic #2, which stands for high-density polyethylene (HDPE)? This means our packaging is easily recyclable and can be transformed into items like flower pots, trash cans, traffic cones, and even other bottles! As you can see in the 'Plastics Recycling Guide' below (by Reclaim - https://lnkd.in/g9vFTiKN), the HDPE plastic carries a low risk of leaching. Bio-Zyme products are concentrated and the bulk bottles allow users to take fewer products on site. Additionally, our reusable bottles like the Bio-Zyme Foamer Dual Chamber, further reduce single-use plastic waste. Let’s work together to protect our planet – one step at a time. 💚🌿 #RecyclingWeek #Sustainability #EcoFriendly #PlasticFree #BioZyme
