Recycling Food Packaging in a Recession

I have a new post on The New Republic’s eco-blog, The Vine, on the state of recycling in the recession.  As we open our Mishloach Manot this Purim, most likely filled with foods packaged in cardboard, glass and plastic, we will no doubt add our share of wastes to the recycling.  In this economy, though, even recycling is taking a hit.  The prices of recycled aluminum and cardboard have dropped precipitously, and big manufacturers like China have had to slow down their purchasing because of their own slow down in manufacturing.

    Hi,

    We ran across your site and i have some ideas to share about “Biodegradable Packaging” it offers eco friendly, non toxic and sustainable products. This products design to decompose quickly, completely and safe without leaving any residues. Its 100% no harm to human and enviroment.

    Thanks, we’ll come back often.

    Thanks again,

    Oceans Green
