Massage Clinic Takes Action Against Disposable Mask Waste

PORT MOODY, BC. / AGILITYPR.NEWS / September 29, 2020 / MASSAGE CLINIC ADDRESSES PPE WASTE WITH INNOVATIVE RECYCLING SOLUTION   Esposito Massage® Recycles The Unrecyclable With The Help of Zero Waste Boxes from TerraCycle®   Esposito Massage, a clinic owned and operated by Elizabeth Esposito, has teamed up with TerraCycle to divert their hard-to-recycle waste from landfills through the Zero Waste Box program.   By placing the Safety Equipment and Protective Gear Zero Waste Box by the clinic’s front entrance, clients can conveniently remove and recycle their personal protection equipment (PPE) after their appointments. The recycling solution helps the clinic safely address the uptick of disposable mask use in their office.   This traditionally unrecyclable waste would otherwise be landfilled, incinerated, or contribute to the pollution of marine habitats. Using TerraCycle, the collected waste can now be recycled into a variety of new products such as park benches, bike racks, shipping pallets and recycling bins.   TerraCycle, the world’s leader in the collection and repurposing of complex waste streams, created the Zero Waste Box program to provide solutions for difficult-to-recycle waste that cannot be recycled through TerraCycle’s brand-sponsored, national recycling programs or via standard municipal recycling.   The Zero Waste Box program aligns with Esposito Massage’s mission to enact sustainable measures across their clinic and eliminate as much waste as possible from their business.   "Small steps are important in recycling because if everyone made one small change, then our oceans wouldn't be littered with products not meant to be there,” says Elizabeth Esposito, founder of Esposito Massage.   More information regarding Esposito Massage can be found by visiting their website, http://www.espositomassage.com. All collected materials from the Zero Waste Box program are sent to TerraCycle for recycling, where they undergo a series of treatments before getting turned into new items.

By purchasing Zero Waste Boxes, companies and consumers save trash from landfills and help reach TerraCycle’s goal of creating a waste-free world.
