It's said that every holiday season, around 175,000 tons of plastic packaging gets thrown out. This year, EcoShip is doing something about it by hosting our collection campaign. For more info, check out https://t.co/tK24i086LN

Thank you @SailGP for having us this past weekend! We had a blast building boats out of recycling and educating folks about single-use plastic. Can’t wait to be back. #sailgp #sailgpusa #sailing #nonprofit #chicagobased

About 92% of the mailers that get donated to us are @amazon mailers. They’re not impossible to recycle,but there aren’t enough companies that recycle or upcycle LDPE or HDPE. So what’s the solution? #recycling #amazonproblems

[Recycle by City ♻️ @recyclebycity]

♻️ Recycle up these paper mailers.
🚫 The bubble kind is not recyclable curbside, but IS 100% reusable!
✂ If you can't #reuse or donate, drop for in-store #recycling.
🗑️ Got the bubble-lined kind? Either donate, reuse, or trash.
💚 Got lots, #Chicago? Donate @EcoShip_Chicago!

Will we see you there? Drop off your gently used packaging and enjoy refreshments and a drawing!

Join EcoShip as we partner with @patagonia and have another fantastic collection drive!

Every day, @amazon ships out 1.6 million packages. Unfortunately, because most of the packaging is not curbside recyclable, it ends up in a landfill. EcoShip aims to divert as many items as we can. They head to other businesses or individuals for reuse. #amazonproblems #shopsmall

[EcoShip Chicago @EcoShip_Chicago]

Last weekend, EcoShip diverted 112.5 pounds of packaging materials from landfills. These items will head to businesses and individuals for reuse. On top of that, we helped secure 5-months worth of materials for Care for Friends. #reuse #SmallBusiness #nonprofit
