Green Tree Plastics recycles Evansville's own excess industrial polymers into custom designed/ formulated parts, picnic tables, benches, landscape timbers.
A partnership between schoolchildren and Green Tree Plastics, this is a hands-on, real life experience in acquiring conservation habits for a lifetime of green living.
The students collect 250 pounds of
metal-free plastic caps to exchange for a 6' playground bench made from
Green Tree Plastics' 100% CASTplastic™ at a reduced price of $150 each.
By having people take the lids off bottles & containers, everyone is becoming more aware of recycling. Actually, the bottles (not used in this process) are better prepared for recycling because they are now crushable.
THIS IS HOW WE ALL WIN:
local jobs for local parents
locally generated excess plastic kept local
local learning by future local citizens
