That's an excellent and very important question. We're deeply committed to minimizing our environmental footprint at every stage, from sourcing materials to the end of our products' long lives.
First and foremost, the core material for many of our bins is post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic. We give discarded milk jugs, detergent bottles, and other containers a new, durable life. This significantly reduces virgin plastic demand and diverts waste from landfills. Our manufacturing facilities prioritize energy efficiency and have robust water recycling systems. We've also optimized our logistics to consolidate shipments, lowering transportation emissions.
Durability is a key part of our eco-design. A bin that lasts for decades without cracking or fading prevents premature disposal and reduces replacement waste. When a bin finally reaches its end-of-life, its simple, monolithic design makes the plastic easy to identify and recycle again, supporting a circular economy.
We are transparent about the fact that manufacturing any physical product has an impact. Our goal is not to claim perfection, but to relentlessly measure, innovate, and reduce that impact year after year, delivering products that help our customers manage waste responsibly while protecting the planet.
