Mommy Goes Green

Ever wonder where the plastic products you recycle goes?  Preserve is one company that takes them to make new personal care, kitchen and tableware products.   All of their products are made in the U.S. from 100% recycled materials.  Better yet, they are all recyclable when you are done using them.

In face, if your community doesn’t recycle #5 plastics, Preserve will take them back to use in their recycling process.  You can drop them off at a local collection site or mail them to Preserve.

Preserve’s personal care product line includes toothbrushes, razors and flavored toothpicks.  Toothbrush handles are made from 100% recycled plastic, including Stonyfield farms yogurt cups and come in soft, medium and hard bristles for both adults and children.  Every three months, when you replace your toothbrush, you can mail the old toothbrush and case (postage paid) back to Preserve and they’ll recycle them into plastic lumber for park benches, decks and more.  They will also take back their razors and tongue cleaners for recycling.  How’s that for full circle?  Love it!
