Plastic Film Waste: Recycling & Reduction Tips
Description
Plastic bags and wraps, common in grocery stores and packaging, pose significant environmental challenges due to their slow decomposition and recycling complications. In 2018, the U.S. sent over three million tons to landfills. These plastics, often labeled as film, can clog recycling machinery and are difficult to manage. However, special drop-off bins at grocery stores can recycle certain types into new products. To reduce waste, consider using reusable bags and reusing existing plastic bags for other purposes.
