Helping Divert Plastic Waste From Our Landfills

ENERGY RECOVERY USING THE ENERGYBAG™

Every year, Americans discard 29 million tons of plastic waste.1

To help change that, Dow collaborates with municipal and industry partners to implement alternatives for plastic waste with EnergyBag™ programs. EnergyBag™ programs demonstrate that non-recycled plastic items – like juice pouches, candy wrappers and plastic dinnerware – can be collected and converted into energy resources and helps identify a way to keep more material out of the landfill.
