ARE ZIPLOC BAGS RECYCLABLE?
If Ziploc Bags Are Recyclable Why Can’t We Throw Them In The Bin With Our Other Plastics?
Are Ziploc bags recyclable, and how can we reuse them? According to Ziploc, “Yes, it’s true, Ziploc® brand bags are recyclable. Really! Just look for the
bin next time you’re at your local participating store.
Their substance makes them
easy to recycle, but they
must be kept separate from
the plastic you recycle on
your curbside.
There are recycling
centers and retail stores that
will gladly accept bags for
recycling.
Before you responsibly recycle your Ziploc bag, try to get as many uses out of it as
you can. If you have food store in a Ziploc, wash it out with dish soap and water and
set it out to dry.
If you aren’t comfortable putting more food in the bag, use these clean baggies
to organize pens and pencils, craft supplies, or children’s toys.
That way you won’t have to worry about
recycling Ziplocs, and you will be able to save money while making a good effort to help out our earth.
There are many other brands of baggies that serve the same purpose and can also be recycled. Common names for these bags include “snack bags,” food storage bags, and sandwich bags.
When we recycle, we save our raw resources, save money, and improve the
earth exponentially. Toxic substances sitting in landfills get warmed up, then
emit noxious gases that have many detrimental health effects for those of us
close by, including children.
It is important that we recycle Ziploc bags and dispose of our
waste properly.
Now that you know Ziploc bags are
recyclable, you can make an effort to
reduce our waste by taking them back to the
supermarket, reusing them yourself, and opting for re-usable
products to hold food.
