An orange bag is making a difference in reducing waste from hard-to-recycle flexible plastics! Our partner @FirstarFiber, is collecting this waste with the Hefty Renew™ programme (formally Hefty® EnergyBag®) and remanufacturing it into useful materials.

@firstarfiber is turning difficult-to-recycle plastics into lumber, which can be used in non-structural applications like furniture. We've worked with them since 2021 to expand operations, turning it into a hub where more types of plastic waste can be recycled.
