The state of Utah has one of the worst recycling rates in the nation. According to the Executive Summary 1995-2010 entitled “Potential for Recovering, Processing, and Remanufacturing Recyclables Within the State of Utah”, only 5-10% of generated waste is recycled statewide. This number is especially bleak when compared to the national average of 34%. Additionally, as of 2010, 448 tons of the waste generated is plastic. According to the Recycling Coalition of Utah just one ton of recycled plastic saves 5,774 kWh of electricity, 685 gallons of oil, 98 million Btu’s of energy, and 30 cubic yards of landfill space. Unfortunately, only about 25% of the plastic produced in the U.S. is recycled, and this number is even lower in Utah. Consequently, enough plastic is annually disposed of that it could encircle the Earth four times! A collaboration with PPR can help the Beehive State get back on track and take proactive steps toward improving its recycling rate by providing easy plastic waste disposal, which ensures both economic and environmental gains for Utah-based companies.
