Recycling represents the technique of transforming wasted materials into new products. The idea of recovering raw materials and save energy is something that our children should learn as early as possible. Kids recycle programs have always been constructive for both parents and children as recovering materials is one of the central ideas of any modern waste management system.

One of the most easy to recycle materials is aluminum, and this is why most of the kids recycle projects deal with it first. Aluminum cans are to be found all around big cities, recycling businesses collect and take them to large recycling centers just like nonprofit organizations that clean parks or endangered places from litter. Children should remember that aluminum is a light material that is easy to recycle and that it must always be thrown away to special places.

Another material that endangers the environment is glass, children must remember that glass can’t return back into the nature by an organic cycle, therefore it must be reused. The second lesson in the kids recycle program could be about glass and the way it is recovered and reintegrated in the utility consume system.

Glass is usually transported to the nearest processing facility that uses a large magnet to sort metallic objects first. Other ceramic or nonferrous items are removed manually. Then glass is crushed and mixed together with other elements to create a combination that has the right consistency for melting. Children attending kids recycle lessons will probably know that all the bottles from the supermarket are made from recycled glass.

Another easy to recycle material is plastic, more than four million bottles are used every hour in North America. So kids recycle courses need to teach boys and girls all about recovering plastic. The truth is that plastic can’t decompose, it will remain unmodified in the environment for hundred of years. Present statistics report more than 20 billions plastic bottles to be found just in supermarkets.

Saving paper is a good start for any ecologist, for one tone of paper 98 tones of other raw materials are needed. Industrialists confirm that it is much easier and cheaper to recycle paper that to produce it from virgin fiber, and statistics show an energy saving 70% lower. Children attending kids recycle hours should be taught all about paper and how easy it is to save the forest by reusing it. Recycling is a continuous circuit that works only if the recovered materials are transformed into products to be sold and bought again.

Here is another one of my favorite shops in Japan named “Hard Off”. Kind of a funny name for sure but This is where you can find a lot of Gems if you are lucky Hope you Enjoy it! On this day, I actually did find a Gem and I will upload it in a following video.

What green printing really all about?  When we think ‘green printing’ the terms ‘recycled’, FSC Certified, and ’soy inks’ come to mind, but is that all there is?  Are these things really enough?  One ton of recycled paper still consumes up to four trees, 18,000 BTU’s of energy, creates up to two tons of solid waste, and creates thousands of gallons of contaminated waste-water? Certainly FSC, SFI, and PEFC are important designations and diverting pulp production from irresponsibly managed forests is critical, but at what point will we begin to tip the balance of FSC paper production versus FSC forestry growth toward the negative? 
Many packaging designers turn to soy inks to tell their story.  Soy inks have been used by offset printers for years but are they really beneficial for use on labels, tags, and packaging? (contact me for more info on the real truth behind soy inks for labels and flexible packaging.)  The point here is that print buyers, green marketers and brand owners have gotten lazy.  It’s commonplace these days to market a package with recycled paper, and include the ‘please recycle this package’ .  Most consumers simply assume that today’s packaging IS recyclable.   Brands focus on ‘recycled’ and recycling because it’s easy, cheap and everybody understands it.  What I’d like to see is brand owners, printers, and consumers focus in on the ‘green issues’ that are going to matter most going forward- sustainability (sourcing print and packaging from more abundant, renewable resources), and carbon footprint. 
Sustainable Paper Options vs Traditional Tree-Pulp Papers   
Tree-free papers made from rotting plant waste such as banana, papaya and coconut trees, bamboo, and bagasse are an option here.  There are a few companies that focus on tree-free paper production, and though the performance of these papers as a label/packaging material is limited in some cases they have successfully replaced tree-pulp papers. 
Stone paper made from natural chalk (calcium carbonate) is made from an abundant resource and is one of the high performing options for green printing and packaging materials with a superior sustainability story.  FiberStone™ tree-free stone paper is one of the more popular, high performing papers in this category and has been used on wide variety of printing and packaging applications including labels.
Carbon Footprint- ‘What Does it Actually Take to Produce and Supply Your ‘Green’/Recycled Paper?
This is the ‘real’ issue that brand owners and marketers need to be concerned with.    By using recycled (post consumer waste) papers we certainly preserve our most significant carbon storage resources but at what point will our forests’ carbon storage capacity fail to keep up with our carbon producing activities?  Pulp production and processing of recycled fibers are the real culprits here- each requiring a significant amount of energy. This massive consumption contributes to an enormous amount of Co2 emitted into our atmosphere.  You can see how an argument can and should be made for using low carbon footprint materials (lower energy consumption) over recycled papers for printing and packaging.
Identify and Promote Your Eco-Vision Statement
The first step to creating and promoting/marketing a brand’s sustainable packaging is to create and publish a solid eco-vision.  Start by taking a look at your competitor’s websites and those of companies that have been on this path for some time.  Any eco-conscious brand will have an eco-vision and/or eco mission statement.  Your own statement should include which aspects of sustainability and environmental stewardship are important to your company.  Be specific here- it is absolutely okay to choose a specific cause such as water conservation, landfill reduction, carbon emission reduction, etc… and to leave out those that don’t fit your company or brand.
From here you’ll need to spell out your environmental/sustainability goals and how you plan to get there.  If source reduction, lean/efficient manufacturing production processes, or sourcing more eco-friendly packaging materials is part of your plan then make sure to say so.  Recent studies show that a company’s eco-vision is important to consumers.  A savvy consumer who identifies with your vision will not only purchase your product and become a loyal customer but will become an advocate for your company!
One such company that has been successful with this strategy is Patagonia.  Part of Patagonia’s eco vision involves the following statement: “We acknowledge that the wild world we love best is disappearing. That is why those of us who work here share a strong commitment to protecting undomesticated lands and waters.”  In choosing water conservation (among other issues) Patagonia has chosen a clear path and makes sure that when sourcing printing and packaging water conservation is a prime focus and part of the selection criteria.
So what’s next? You can start by educating yourself and your customers about the real threats to a cleaner planet- carbon emissions and depletion of non-renewable natural resources. Stop ‘buying into’ the oversimplified ‘recycle, reuse, renew’ mantra and dig deeper! Educate yourself and about these concerns and the options that help counteract them.  Using recycled packaging and asking consumers to ‘please recycle’ isn’t enough folks- dig deeper, learn…and focus on the right green message!
