Turning Waste Plastic Into Community Benches
Waste
USA
Bimeda Le Sueur’s support for the ‘From Bags To Benches’ program goes from strength to strength.
This initiative to turn plastic waste – which would otherwise end up in landfill - into benches which can be used by members of the public.
To support the program, Bimeda Le Sueur collects all the soft plastic wrap, which is used to secure pallets. When a sufficient quantity has been saved, it is delivered to the program organisers and ultimately turned into benches which can be used by the community.
In August 2024 the team donated a further 2131 lbs of plastic to the program. This brings Bimeda Le Sueur’s total recycling of plastic to over 9300 lbs.
