Green Planet 21 offers custom handling systems for companies generating large amounts of discarded material. CARDBOARD AND PAPER What Makes Us Different: At Green Planet 21, we strive to recycle every possible grade of paper and cardboard. Every ton of material landfilled unnecessarily is financially painful and environmentally ugly. Unique in the industry, Green Planet 21 has market connections to recycle many grades of cardboard and paper. Our group has extensive background experience in the paper mill industry alongside a deep knowledge of how paper is made and remade. We work with our mill partners effectively to reclaim and reprocess fiber. Whenever possible, we avoid the costs and eyesores associated with landfilling. For example, we have kept coffee filters, silicon release paper, cardboard cores, and various chemically-treated paper boards such as wet strength or poly-coat out of the dumps. Customized Services: When your business is generating a large amount of recyclables, Green Planet 21 will create a custom recycling program for the paper and cardboard. We will assess the tonnage being produced at your facility and we will create a recycling solution specific to your collection needs. This may include the installation of on-site material handling systems. Please give us a call to learn more about how we can help your company to reduce your disposal costs, and reduce environmental impact. Competitive Pricing: Green Planet 21 uses a competitive pricing model and will give you the best price possible for handling the recyclables generated at your facility. Because we are a full-service provider of various recyclable commodities, Green Planet 21 can lower your company’s freight costs. For example, when we move mixed loads from your facility to ours. Our plants in Oakland and Tacoma are adjacent to large U.S. ports. So, we can avoid freeway driving as we deliver recyclables for shipment oversees. Our trucks can carry 17,000 more pounds per truckload than most of our competitors. This efficiency reduces our own freight costs and enables us to pass on those savings to our customers. Baled cardboard and paper have a higher value than the loose paper that needs to be processed. We offer balers, compactors and other receptacles through our leasing and purchasing programs. The ROI is short and we can provide equipment upfront to be paid off over a period of time.

We partner with local food waste processors and bio-digesters near some of our locations. To find out whether food waste recycling is an option at your company’s location, please contact the Green Planet 21 location nearest you.The types of food waste we can recycle includes, but is not limited to: Fruits Vegetables Pastas Rice Starches Breads Potatoes Liquids Flowers Yard Clippings Flour Cookies Crackers Chips Other already processed items With more than 34 million tons of food waste generated each year and only 3% being recycled, organic waste is the single largest component of the municipal waste stream. The economic cost of sending food waste to the landfill is wasteful in terms of energy and nutrient loss and also creates a large cost to the environment. Food in a landfill rots and creates methane, a greenhouse gas with over 20 times the global warming potential of carbon dioxide. Green Planet 21 is able to recycle both wet and dry food waste, with wet food waste being used for composting, mulch, or anaerobic digestion (producing a biogas that has a fuel value), and dry food products being turned into animal feed or used for anaerobic digestion. Green Planet 21 finds local solutions for the waste, usually partnering with a composter or mulcher in your area. Green Planet 21 will assess your organic waste stream, customize a collection system specific to the volume of waste being generated at your facility, and provide regular pickup service of the collected matter. Food or beverage manufacturing operations, grocers, food distribution centers, and virtually any consumer product company generating food or beverages can benefit from our services.
