ARE ZIPLOC BAGS RECYCLABLE?

If Ziploc Bags Are Recyclable Why Can’t We Throw Them In The Bin With Our Other Plastics?

Are Ziploc bags recyclable, and how can we reuse them? According to Ziploc, “Yes, it’s true, Ziploc® brand bags are recyclable. Really! Just look for the

bin next time you’re at your local participating store.

Their substance makes them

easy to recycle, but they

must be kept separate from

the plastic you recycle on

your curbside.

There are recycling

centers and retail stores that

will gladly accept bags for

recycling.

Before you responsibly recycle your Ziploc bag, try to get as many uses out of it as

you can. If you have food store in a Ziploc, wash it out with dish soap and water and

set it out to dry.

If you aren’t comfortable putting more food in the bag, use these clean baggies

to organize pens and pencils, craft supplies, or children’s toys.

That way you won’t have to worry about

recycling Ziplocs, and you will be able to save money while making a good effort to help out our earth.

There are many other brands of baggies that serve the same purpose and can also be recycled. Common names for these bags include “snack bags,” food storage bags, and sandwich bags.

When we recycle, we save our raw resources, save money, and improve the

earth exponentially. Toxic substances sitting in landfills get warmed up, then

emit noxious gases that have many detrimental health effects for those of us

close by, including children.

It is important that we recycle Ziploc bags and dispose of our

waste properly.

Now that you know Ziploc bags are

recyclable, you can make an effort to

reduce our waste by taking them back to the

supermarket, reusing them yourself, and opting for re-usable

products to hold food.
