Recycle No. 5 plastic at Whole Foods Market stores
March 5, 2009
Recyclers will now be able to drop their clean No. 5 plastic containers in a Preserve Gimme 5 bin at participating Whole Foods Market stores. The containers are then reused to make household items.
No. 5 plastics are collected by few communities. Those that do, usually ship it to Asia to be burned as fuel, releasing pollution into the environment.
Common No.5 plastics include packaging for yogurt, ketchup, butter and hummus; medicine bottles and food storage containers. The plastics can be verified by a recycling symbol with the number 5 on the bottom of the container.
