‍RECYCLING UPDATE

Portland polystyrene recycler, Agilyx, has closed. If you'd previously been using Agilyx for polystyrene recycling you can connect with Earth Friendly Recycling for your recycling needs. While we appreciate all efforts to recycle your business waste, we encourage you to also ask your supply partners to provide your business with more sustainable options. There has been success for some of our Green Businesses who have put the pressure on their supply chain to be on board with their sustainability efforts!
