Americans use 60,000,000 plastic bottles per day. 86 percent or 51,600,000 end up in landfills throughout the country. That’s over 18,000,000,000 per year! Because plastic bottles are not exposed to sunlight in landfills, they will not decompose for over 700 years.
eco-board® crates incorporate plastic from recycled water bottles to enable the boxes to withstand exposure to the elements. A single truckload of eco-board® crates saves over 11,000 bottles from going to landfills and can be recycled with other corrugated materials.
