Sustainability is a responsibility we all share. Recycling prevents global habitat destruction by providing industry with an alternative, ready source of “raw” material. It leads, therefore, to the conservation of energy, the reduction of industrial pollution, and the preservation of species biodiversity. One impactful way to embrace it is by using 99% recycled resin and post-industrial waste in our lawns and gardens. Wait, post-industrial waste in my garden? Here’s how these eco-friendly materials can transform your outdoor spaces.
What is Recycled Resin and Pre-Consumer Waste?
First, we need to explain recycled resin and post-industrial waste. Recycled resin is plastic waste reprocessed into a usable form, with 99% made from recycled materials. Post-industrial waste includes trimmings and scraps left over from manufacturing.
How can Waste Benefit Your Lawn and Garden?
Reducing waste has an immense environmental impact and helps keep our landfills and oceans clean. Repurposed waste reduces the need for new raw materials. It creates products (buckets, containers, wheelbarrows, bottles, land carts, etc.) that are much more durable than those made from virgin materials. Plus, using recycled waste allows the manufacturer to create materials in many colors and styles that bring beauty to your garden.
What products for my garden are made with 99% recycled resin? More than you’d think. Resin is used in sturdy weather-resistant garden furniture such as benches, chairs, and tables. It also makes planters and pots lightweight and durable and can be molded into many designs and colors. Resin in lawn and garden tools, fencing, and edging products offers eco-friendly, effective ways to work in and define your space. Let’s not forget compost bins and rain barrels, too!
