Join us here on Facebook LIVE on Thursday, December 2nd at 3:30PM in a deep-dive discussion around plastic film recycling with our friends at Ridwell!
Recently our Seattle Zero Waste community had a number of questions and concerns about what Ridwell can take in their plastic film recycling program.
With so many passionate members who are very interested in detailed explanations, Aliya and Gerrine from Ridwell have offered to address these questions in a virtual event! They will describe in detail how Ridwell works with partners and the processes they use to ensure that millions of pounds of material sourced from Ridwell members are being reused or recycled.
If you can’t join us live on Facebook, please submit any questions you have regarding this topic in the comments below before the event and we will add them to the Q&A session.
The event will also be recorded to be viewed at a later date. We hope to see you there!

Saturday, September 18th is International Coastal Cleanup Day! People around the world will head out to remove accumulated trash from their local shorelines and beaches. Together, we will document the types of debris entering our waterways in an effort to inform practical solutions to the global problem of marine trash.
Due to the surge in COVID-19 cases driven by the Delta variant, Puget Soundkeeper is implementing a vaccination requirement for any volunteers signing up, and asks that all clean-up attendees wear masks when physical distancing isn’t feasible. If anyone is experiencing COVID-19 related symptoms or has been exposed, we ask you not sign up for these events.

After the film, speakers from Seattle Zero Waste and other groups will answer questions, lead discussion, and give options for action.
