Earlier this year, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development reported "after taking into account losses during recycling, only 9% of plastic waste was ultimately recycled, while 19% was incinerated and almost 50% went to sanitary landfills."  And you might find it shocking, but around 85% of textiles thrown away in the U.S. are dumped into landfills or burned -- including unused textiles and unsold clothes.

We have a consumption problem, that has led to a waste problem, that has become a health problem for our bodies and our planet. Mindful consumption can reduce these issues, but there are times when there seems to be no way around having some hard-to-eliminate household materials that require smarter disposal. Ridwell may be able to help.
