Sustainability is one of the core values of the Rooted Carrot Co-op.
Planning is in the early stages for an educational event in April, centered around recycling. As part of this event, the membership team has purchased a Zero Waste™ Box for recycling plastic packaging from Terracycle. We will have this available for those who attend the event to recycle “flexible plastic packaging & rigid plastic packaging.” – (from Terracycle website; details here.) The box will not accept biodegradable plastics or “foamed plastics.”
The membership team encourages you to collect any flexible or rigid plastics that can not be recycled through your community recycling program and bring them to this event. Please make sure they are clean of any food residue.
If there is a positive response, we will consider expanding these opportunities in the future.
Watch for details!
