A Word About Recycling with Ollie Maier

Although I dislike having to continue bringing up how the coronavirus is affecting our lives, including recycling, both here and abroad, as long it remains, it is the news. Thus, I hope this information, taken from the Plastics Recycling Update newsletter, is interesting and informative to you.

First off, we’ll go to a governmental agency, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). It is encouraging all Americans to recycle materials from their households and properly dispose of personal protective equipment (PPE) during the COVID-19 pandemic.

They emphasize that recycling isn’t just good for us by reducing waste headed for the landfills and saving energy, it also supplies materials for many of the manufacturing companies.
