Happy Earth Day!

Being great supporters or sustainability we are really psyched about Earth Day and if you are not yet a protector of mother earth, at least for one day be a little gentle, turn of those extra lights, recycle a little and plant a tree if you have the time.  Have a great day!

Recycling Plastics

Diane Paparo Studio is a huge advocate of sustainable practices. As part of our goal for a better planet, we work hard to educate our clients about our initiatives. What better place to continue educating than in our new blog – starting with a recycling overview of the symbols you will find on plastics in your home:

Number 1 Plastics

PET or PETE (polyethylene terephthalate) is the most common for single-use bottled beverages, because it is inexpensive, lightweight and easy to recycle. It poses low risk of leaching breakdown products. Recycling rates remain relatively low (around 20%), though the material is in high demand by remanufacturers.

Found in: Soft drink, water and beer bottles; mouthwash bottles; peanut butter containers; salad dressing and vegetable oil containers; ovenable food trays.
