Ohio Boaters Recycle Shrink Wrap Film and Save Landfills

Monday, May 24th, 2010

Boaters are recycling used shrink wrap film all around Ohio.

According to ToledoOnTheMove.com, boaters are finding a new way to dispose of the shrink wrap film used to protect their boats during the winter, they’re recycling it! A recycling program created by the Ohio Clean Marinas Program and Mondo Polymer Technologies spares landfills of the massive amounts of shrink wrap film that comes from boaters at the beginning of the boating season. About 100 marinas around Lake Erie participate in the program, with various marinas acting as drop off points for the plastic material.

The cost-effective and eco-friendly way for boaters to dispose of their shrink wrap film started in 2006 and has since recycled over three-quarters of a million pounds, which ToledoOnTheMove.com points out is equivalent to a landfill space of 16 school buses.

But what happens to all the shrink wrap film after it’s collected? It becomes guardrail blocks on Ohio’s highways, much more useful than being piled up in a landfill!
