What Will Happen If We Don’t Recycle?

August 4, 2010

It’s predicted that 50% of the United States will run out of space for landfills in ten years.

A report written back in the 1980′s, “What Will Happen If We Don’t Recycle,” looks into the past and takes  a shot at predicting the future with regard to landfills, the greenhouse effect, ozone, hazardous waste, groundwater, plastic, and pollutants.

Here’s what the report had to say about landfills:

“The landfills are filling up fast. Most of them are getting full and closing down. A third have closed since 1980. More than half the cities on the East Coast will run out of room in their landfills by 1990. In New York, 14 sites have closed in the past 10 years. All of Seattle’s sites will soon be full. We’re running out of space to put all the trash. Some of the hazardous waste in landfills gets into the groundwater and pollutes it. When common garbage is burned, it can release dangerous gases into the air. Each year Americans throw away 1.6 billion pens, 2 billion razors and blades and 220 million tires. They discard enough aluminum to rebuild the entire U.S. commercial airline fleet.”

Environmental Packaging Technologies (EPT) is doing our part to keep the landfills from filling up by manufacturing environmentally friendly transport packaging products.

EPT provides reclamation services on all of our used BIG Red products.  Reclaimed products will be picked up by one of the company’s fleet of trucks for proper recycling.

EPT actively promotes environmental awareness and has designed products that allow customers to eliminate landfill dependency by reducing and recycling residual waste.  Our valves and flanges are removed from used products, cleaned, tested/certified and reused where possible.
All PE inner bags, HDPE liners and Barrier Wear Sleeves are recycled, whenever possible, into clean, regrind materials for the plastics industry.

Any material not suitable for recycling due to hazardous material contamination is disposed of by qualified incineration.

All our products are manufactured in ISO 9001:2008 facilities in the USA that adhere to documented recycle policies.
