American Chemistry Council sets up Facebook site to promote recycling

Not-for-profit industry association the American Chemistry Council (ACC) has turned to Facebook to help consumers learn more about plastics recycling. 

The Washington, D.C.-based group’s Recycle Your Plastics site is intended to be “an educational community devoted to sharing plastics recycling news and information,” the ACC said. “Users can look forward to receiving updates on tips, trends and opportunities in plastics recycling quickly and on a regular basis.”

“We’ve seen a steady increase in opportunities to recycle more plastics over the past several months, and we want to make sure people are aware of these developments,” said Steve Russell, the ACC’s vice president of plastics. “Facebook is a great way to connect people with information, so that we can all do our part for our communities and the environment. Used plastics are a valuable resource, and it’s never been easier to recycle many of the plastics we use every day.”
