Why Recycle?

Recycling is a last resort. Rice Recycling isn’t about helping you recycle more. It is about helping you reduce your carbon footprint. And we don’t recycle rice. I was called once, no joke, about 5 tons of basmati rice.

Rice Recycling is about a passion for the environment and global change through local action. Recycling is a global issue. It’s all about your carbon footprint. And plastic is the worst offender. It is made from oil. American soldiers have died for plastic consumption because it is tied to oil consumption.

The general population’s need for cheaper and more convenient products has fed an environment and economy devastating monster. Fuel is burned to make items and their packaging. It is used to transport items. Giant corporations like Wal-Mart and Amazon ship items all over the world. Fuel is also used when those items are taken to a landfill or recycled. This practice of purchasing cheaper items made overseas comes at a great cost.

Every piece of plastic we have ever made still exists today. Plastic takes a long time to degrade. Chances are, every piece of plastic you have purchased, used for a moment, and then thrown out still exists somewhere. And yet, according to the EPA, a whopping 91.6% of all plastics go un-recycled.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Don’t “they” only take rigid plastics #1 & #2?

Answer:

Rice Recycling picks up #1 & #2 household and up to #7+ if it’s reusable.
Double J only takes #1 & #2.
Waste Management takes #1-#7 but only sells (for reprocessing) #1 & 2. The rest goes to the landfill.

Why is there a difference?

Double J is limited to local buyers. #1 & #2 are the most profitable in the United States and the only plastic we reprocess due to strict emission laws.
Waste Management is global and can sell, reuse, and reprocess much more before it goes to the landfill.
Rice Recycling takes things for donation so many of the items get reused or passed along even if it has no number. The difference in carbon footprint is up to the consumer. Reduce your use of fossil fuels (can’t make new plastics without oil), cease using single-use items (practice zero-waste if you’re passionate), and sort your recycling according to guidelines.
