“The greatest threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it.”

IT’S IMPORTANT!

Recycling protects the environment for children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.

The process of recycling uses far less energy than manufacturing with brand new raw materials.
Recycling conserves energy and natural resources, reduces pollution, and helps prevent landfills from filling up.

conserves energy

Conserving energy results in lower living expenses as energy savings leads to monetary savings.

plastic production requires an enormous amount of energy and resources.

JUST DROP ‘EM OFF

Certain locations, like recycling centers and retail stores,
have set up drop-offs for plastic recycling.

You can drop off:

  • MH Plastic products (clean and dry)
  • Plastic grocery products
  • Bread products and produce products
  • All clean products labeled #2 or #4

WHAT GETS MADE?

The majority of recycled plastic products become composite lumber. Composite lumber is used for fences, benchs, decks, door and window frames, and even playground equipment. You can also visit these key plastic recycling organizations for more information: TREX, Hilex and AERT.

Designed for conversion

We’ve designed all MH Plastic containers to be used multiple times.
When containers get reused, less trash ends up in landfills and less manufacturing energy is expended. That’s good news all around.
MH Plastic containers are made from polypropylene and can be recycled in a limited (but growing number) of communities. When it’s time to replace a used container, that used container can be converted into something new, instead of more trash for a landfill.

“It is the worst of times but it is the best of times because we still have a chance.”

BPA FREE

Our products are extensively evaluated for toxicity and safety and comply with applicable quality and safety regulations.
A recent study conducted and published by the University of Cincinnati found that the estrogen-like chemical bisphenol A (BPA) has been shown to encourage the growth of a specific category of prostate cancer cells. BPA is commonly used in the manufacture of certain plastic products such as food-can coatings, milk-container liners, food containers, and water-supply pipes. Many reports of this study note that this chemical is commonly found in plastic food storage containers.

DIOXIN FREE

A few years back, concerns were raised about the alleged dangers of using plastics in microwaves.
The presumption argued that a combination of fat, high heat and plastic releases dioxin into food and ultimately into the cells of the body, which would then increase the risk of producing cancerous cells. After we researched these claims, it became clear that the information was misleading and unnecessarily alarming. Dioxins only form when chlorine is combined with extremely high temperatures (such as 1,500 degrees F). The most powerful kitchen microwave oven will never reach this temperature. Even if you reached 1500F (theoretically), all MH Plastic products are 100% dioxin-free.

FDA CHECK

When label directions are followed, MH Plastic products can be used with confidence. All MH Plastic Containers and microwavable.
All MH Plastic Containers and microwavable MH Plastic products meet the safety requirements of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for temperatures associated with defrosting and reheating food in microwave ovens, as well as room, refrigerator and freezer temperatures.
