Each year, more than 250,000 tonnes of plastic waste is thrown away and disposed of in New Zealand landfills, and until now plastic bags and wraps could not be placed in municipal recycling systems.
However the GLAD Food Storage Brigade, a collaboration between GLAD and TerraCycle, will change all that, meaning that creating a litter-less lunch is now possible with the nationwide recycling initiative that will use a ‘collect, store and ship’ method.
Have you ever wondered what to do with those used Nespresso pods piling up in your rubbish bin?
James's Nursery, in Blenheim, has become a drop-off point for people who want to recycle the aluminium capsules and reduce the amount of waste they produce.
When the dirty job of separating food and compostable materials from trash and recycling was finished at last year’s Big Sur International Marathon, there were about four bags worth of trash to be taken to the landfill. Not bad for an event that featured about 7,000 participants. That amount of waste “could fit in the trunk of a car,” said Kristin Cushman, founder and executive director of The Offset Project, which has been a partner to the marathon since 2009.
As Earth Day approaches, many of us ponder whether we’ll be leaving our planet in better shape than when we inherited it. After reading the disturbing fact that by the year 2050 more plastic bottles will occupy the ocean than fish, it doesn’t seem like we’re doing a particularly good job.
