Reducing Landfill

It is well known that we currently have a lot of plastic waste going into landfill. Currently landfill sites are filling up fast and the constantly growing population means that space is a valuable commodity. Managing waste correctly by reusing and recycling plastics can reduce this waste significantly. Therefore, recycling plastic and giving it a second life as a new product is an excellent choice as it diverts waste away from landfill, which is vital for the environment.

Reducing Pollution

The manufacturing process for plastics creates greenhouse gases and also uses natural resources. These gases are a major reason for the increasing pollution levels in our environment and believed to be one of the largest factors behind climate change. Recycling plastics rather than manufacturing them from scratch indirectly helps to reduce these hazardous emissions and also maintains our natural resources.

Helping the Ecosystem

Plastic waste can contaminate land, soil, and water with chemicals that can lead to the deaths of many animals when ingested. The needless deaths of these animals that are crucial to the food chain directly impacts our ecosystem and therefore the world around us.
