Silicone household items.
We're excited to be offering this new trial category! This is a pilot for a new partner, so we can't guarantee this will be a repeat category.
Silicone is durable, flexible, and can withstand high heat, which makes it a handy material for many household items, from baby bottles to pot holders and food storage bags. While silicone household items are longer lasting than their plastic counterparts, there are few recycling options available when they finally run out of life.
We're working with a partner who specializes in silicone recycling, so that you can keep your old silicone household items out of the waste stream!
Partnering with Eco USA
ECO USA was founded in 2009 and became one of the earliest recyclers of silicone rubber material in the world with the vision of making the world a greener place through recycling a material that not many people had tried. Rather than following traditional ways of landfills and incinerators, they recycle and reuse silicone rubber material with eco-friendly and productive alternatives. Silicone material provided to Eco USA will be recycled down to silicone oil that is used extensively in manufacturing silicone sealant, automotive waxes and polishes, and used as a lubricant for numerous industrial applications.
Join the movement to build a future without waste.
