Plastic recycling is important but reducing plastic waste recycling usage is our ticket to a healthier planet moving forward. If we were reluctant to buy in to the mass hysteria surrounding plastic waste before, recent news coming from reputable sources such as The New York Times and Sierra Club warn us that the Great Pacific Garbage Patch is now twice the size of Texas. The waters there have been described by scientists as “minestrone,” containing plastic of all types and sizes, from identifiable household items to confetti-sized litter. It remains to be seen what can be done, if anything, to remove existing plastic from our oceans. Reducing plastic waste in our environment begins with you and me. Refusing plastic packaging requires time and energy and difficult choices. Recycling the plastic waste recycling manufacturer we already have is also time-consuming and challenging. Here are some easy tips on how to reduce plastic in the household and even when you’re on the move:



-Opt out of using straws. Who needs them?




-Select eco-friendly products when purchasing household items such as totes, bins and storage containers.



-When you must buy products contained in plastic waste recycling packaging, reduce plastic waste by purchasing products packaged in biodegradable plastic and purchase in larger sizes when possible.
