Recycling Containers : A Short Guide For Company Recycling Schemes
There are many issues that need to be considered when implementing a recycling scheme in your company. For example, what types of waste will be recycled, how much waste will be produced, what type of containers will be required, and do these need to adhere to a particular color scheme? With all these different aspects to think about, we may forget to consider the environmental impact of the recycling bins themselves.
A large proportion of recycling and waste bins are manufactured from plastic, and a approximately 8% of global annual oil production is presently used in the manufacturing of plastics. Extracting this finite resource requires vast quantities of energy, and the process of plastic production uses harmful chemicals, whilst emitting pollutants and greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide. It is easy to see how, despite being created for an environmentally beneficial use, the manufacturing process of recycling bins has detrimental effects.
Fortunately, there are things that you can do to minimize the negative effects that result from recycling bins...
- Purchase second-hand recycling containers. The best way you can minimize environmental impacts in waste management is through re-use. If you can source good quality second-hand or unwanted recycling containers then this prevents the bins from simply being discarded. It is surprising how many large corporations end up with an excess of containers from an altered pilot recycling project.
- Buy quality products. Look for containers that are durable and well constructed. Those used commercially will need to withstand far greater wear and tear than those used in the home. Opt for well made products that will last for years to come. Many recycling schemes will become self funding in just a few years from the cost savings of diverting waste from landfill.
- Choose products with recycled plastic content. Many recycling containers are now manufactured with a percentage of post-consumer recycled plastic. This reduces the need for extraction of virgin materials and will also reduce energy consumption and emissions during the production process. As an example, producing recycled plastic bags uses around 60% less energy, and 90% less water, compared to virgin production.
