Each
and every one of us should contribute to preserve the
environment in which we live. The motivations for
this endeavor are multiple, some selfish (personal
enjoyment) and others altruistic (preserving it for future
generations). We think that the environment should
be preserved for its own sake, absolutely.
Furthermore, the fact that we humans call ourselves
the most intelligent species on earth should be reason
enough to explain the self-evident motivation we all
ought to have to contribute to the environment's
preservation.
Our contribution at
easypak™
is the use of post-consumer
recycled plastics derived from the collection, cleaning,
and conditioning of post-consumer plastic waste that
otherwise, at best, would be buried in landfills. Presently, with our
ecopak™
trade mark, we have
initiated the transformation of post-consumer recycled
PET bottles into useful
packaging such as blisters, clamshells, and containers
with lids.
Every pound of recycled
PET used in this
process is one less
pound of waste dumped in a landfill and is one less
pound of virgin
PET that has to be
produced from scarce, non-renewable natural resources.
Additionally, recycling post-consumer
PET consumes less
energy and generates less CO2 emissions than
producing the equivalent amount of virgin PET.
