To honor Earth Week this year, The Park and Facilities Catalog is offering sizable discounts on Recycled Plastic Picnic Tables, Recycled Plastic Benches and Recycled Plastic Trash Receptacles. In fact all 289-Series products.
As you may know, Earth Day was established back in April 1970. It is always held on April 22.
The concept behind the event is to show support for protecting the Earth's environment.
The day was founded by US Senator Gaylord Nelson and because of his efforts Congress established the Environmental Protection Agency. Nelson was later honored with a Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Complete the loop - Reduce - Reuse - Recycle
One of the ways to protect the planet is to recycle its resources, rather than keep digging up and wasting our current resources.
There's a big opportunity to do this with plastic. Plastic is everywhere. It's used in bottles, milk containers, laundry detergent containers and hundreds of other products.
In fact, plastic is used so much, it's filling up our landfills and littering our streets and oceans. Unfortunately, plastic is so durable, it reportedly takes 1,000 years to degrade.
Recycled plastic picnic table
The beauty of this material is that is can be recycled. In fact, recycling is cheaper and requires 88% less energy than making plastic from raw materials. And people do recycle today more than ever.
But to make the recycling process work, we need to complete the loop as seen in those three arrows on the recycling symbol.
After used plastic is Collected, the ground-down plastic scrap can then be Manufactured into new products. The key is for businesses and consumers to Purchase these products, reuse the plastic and complete the circle.
Recycling is also good for business. According to a study in 2016 by the Environmental Protection Agency, recycling has created 757,000 jobs, $36.6 billion in wages and $6.7 billion in tax revenues.
One of the most popular and durable products that parks, and facility managers can add is Recycled Plastic Picnic Tables, Recycled Plastic Bottles and Recycled Plastic Trash Receptacles.
These products are made from the tougher, high-density HDPE-2 plastics collected from milk jugs, shampoo bottles and detergent containers. In 2008, the HDPE market produced 30 million tons of this type of plastic, so you can see, there is plenty of potential here to reuse this sturdy material.
Because of advances in recycled manufacturing, these products today are very attractive and come in a variety of pleasing, earthy colors.
Recycled plastic trash receptacle
And just as important, the plastic scrap is processed effectively to the point where these recycled plastic picnic table, benches and trash receptacles are incredibly durable.
The planks don't splinter, crack or warp. They don't need to be refinished and repainted.
In fact, on our 289-series recycled plastic products, there is a 50-YEAR WARRANTY against rot, decay or termite infestation.
That warranty is incredible for commercial site furnishings.
In addition, those hardy plastic planks will not fade, even after prolonged exposure to the sun and the harmful UV rays.
Recycled plastic products are not only great for the environment, but they are also a smart purchase too.
