Changing the Perception of Plastic
Envipco operates on a simple premise - we want to make the world a greener, cleaner place. Toward that goal, Envipco, working together with its strategic partners, seeks to increase the recovery rate of PET products to 50% in non-deposit areas in the United States by 2020. That would more than double recovery efforts from the current level of 22%. We plan to expand recovery rates for beverage containers in both deposit and non-deposit communities, and continue these efforts worldwide.
Envipco's programs are working to make curbside recycling more cost-effective by removing bulky, light-weight materials like plastic and aluminum. When consumers bring materials to the point of sale (POS) during their regularly scheduled trips, they produce no additional greenhouse gases, and cut back on the number of heavy trucks needed to transport loads of materials.
As a company, Envipco is transforming the state of beverage container recovery. Our team has developed a model that helps people see the true value of extending the lifecycle of these resources. Only when plastic, glass and aluminum containers are perceived as precious commodities will people across the world incorporate beverage container recovery into our daily routines.
