Kentucky has been making great strides toward environmental responsibility. In 1994, Kentucky only recycled five percent of its solid waste. This percentage had been rising steadily until it peaked at around 35% in 2008. Since then, the state recycling rate has been steadily hovering at around 30%[1]. This is just below the national average of about 34%. Gary Logsdon, the branch manager of the Kentucky Department for Environmental Protection’s Recycling and Local Assistance branch, said “We’d love to recycle more than we throw away, but we have to make small steps and cultural changes to get there.” A collaboration with PPR can help the Bluegrass State make those steps toward increasing the state’s recycling rate by providing easy plastic waste disposal, which ensures both economic and environmental gains for Kentucky-based companies.
