Yes. we also encourages its distributors and customers to take advantage of recycling services in their state or country (where available).

Aluminum cans are better on the environment than glass bottles. For example, making cans from recycled aluminum cuts related air pollution by 95%, whereas making glass from recycled materials reduces air pollution by only 20%. Aluminum is much lighter than glass to ship and consequently reduces stress on the environment, such as gas required to fuel trucks, materials necessary to handle the load of glass, and extra emissions from freight vehicles due to weight.

Farmers’ All Natural Creamery milk is packaged using the best method available for preserving its unique freshness. We use a PET bottle that does not leach into the milk, like softer plastic dairy bottles do. UV blockers in the bottle make it a better option than glass because milk is very sensitive to light. Just minutes of exposure to sunlight and to ultraviolet lighting in grocery stores induces vitamin degradation and light oxidation.

Glass bottles or jars used for food or drink can be placed in small quantities in your crate at kerbside for recycling. Larger domestic quantities can be taken to an EcoDepot for recycling. You are able to drop-off items at the recycling drop-off areas during normal EcoDepot hours at no charge. Certain organisations collect jam jars for reuse. If you have 30 or more jars you can call the TerraNova Waste Exchange facilitator (336 0080) to arrange for collection.

Lluvia??? Skin Care products come in glass bottles to preserve the integrity of natural ingredients. The dark emerald green color glass was chosen not only because it represents the richness of the Rainforest but to protect the formulas from light. In addition, products containing essential oils may not be compatible with plastic containers. Glass containers ensure no biochemical integration. Please recycle all enclosures and containers.

The combination of ingredients used to make glassware is different from what goes into container glass for bottles and jars. If these two types of glass are recycled together, the resulting glass will not be suitable for container glass. In fact, glassware, ceramics, window panes, or mirrors can pose a threat to equipment in a glass recycling plant. Compact fluorescent lights (CFLs) and tubes come in various shapes and sizes.

For every 10 members of staff in your office you can expect to use 8 X 19litre bottles of water per month. This figure is based on our extensive experience within the industry and will fluctuate depending on the weather conditions, staff attitudes to health and office air conditioning.

No. They're made of plastic resin, so don't eat the shards! Also, remember to treat them like your favorite dog in the car—on hot days, they'll melt if left in a closed car in the sun.

Twist off bottles can be used in a pinch, but expect occasional failures to seal, which may ruin a few bottles of beer. This is because the sealing lip on a twist off is very thin, giving the cap less area to seal. In addition, the glass is thinner and weaker, leading to more chips. It is always best to use non-twist off bottles when brewing.

Plastic caps are not recyclable. The caps are made from a type of plastic that is not recyclable. Before recycling glass bottles, please remove plastic caps and throw them in the trash. Metal caps are okay, please rinse clean and place in recycling cart.

Both materials are recyclable and should be placed in the same recycling cart, unattached. At the recycling facility, a magnetic "belt" is used to separate the ferrous metals, like jar lids, bottle caps and steel cans, from the other materials. If the metal lids are left of the jar, they are not separated. In the glass handling process at the recycling facility, the lid becomes a contaminant and is not recycled but is discarded as waste.
