Team green: its customers like @KWPlastics who are supporting @DowGLBI as a leader in sustainable golf events. As the tournament winds down this weekend, KW is recycling mesh material from the grandstands and suites to help foster a #circulareconomy.

“There is a huge opportunity for the federal government to help us find plastic recycling solutions that are both environmentally and economically beneficial.” - @StephCBaker of @KWPlastics #Recycling101 #SenateRussell

The plastic cap recycling contest is under way again this year at many schools in Huntsville! We can't wait to see how many caps students collect to send to @KWPlastics! The first plastic cap pickup will be coming up soon, so drop your caps off at the school you are supporting!

Happy to show educators that #RecyclingWorks and our facilities offer diverse job opportunities in manufacturing, maintenance, and technology.

“Recycling is not broken. What’s broken is our collection and sortation system..... [the @Walmart sustainable packaging playbook] takes your package from being technically recyclable to being recycled.” - Steve Alexander @APRrecycles at #WalmartSustainabiltySummit
