26 WHY recycle rigid plastics? APR Grocery Store Rigid Plastics Study *US supermarkets (with annual sales of $2 million or more) generate huge quantities of rigid plastics very marketable rigid plastics Estimated Total 354 million pounds/year Easily recoverable 212 million #/yr (few sku #s, easily stacked) Bulky million #/year (bulky to handle ) *Over 90% of grocery rigid plastics is #5 PP and #2 HDPE
27 WHY recycle rigid plastics? Reduce Costs. *
28 WHY recycle rigid plastics? Recycling revenue.. *
29 WHY recycle rigid plastics? Sustainability goals.. Zero Waste giving away recycled feedstock consistent message
30 HOW TO recycle rigid plastics? Level 1 - New revenue and savings... Grocers recover, clean, stack and recycle in store rigid plastics. Level 2 Increase revenue and savings... Grocers include additional rigid plastics (pharmacy stock bottles, spools, etc.) Level 3 - Maximize revenue/savings potential Grocers install rigid plastic balers at their Distribution Centers
