PenPack Plastic Packaging: Recycled Materials Made with Solar Energy
I noticed the apples at my local Costco were packaged in plastic containers to keep the apples from bruising. What really intrigued me was the information on the plastic containers. Made by Peninsula Packaging of California ... they are:
- made from 70% recycled drink bottles
- made with 50% energy from the sun
" ... as much as 70 percent recycled ... are themselves recyclable ..."
" ... 10-acre photovoltaic "sun farm" generates 1.1 megawatts ... produces about one-percent of all of California's solar generated power."
