CEC Webinar Series: Getting Real About Plastic & Recycling | Community Environmental Council #CECSB

Labeling a product “recyclable” does not guarantee that it will be recycled. This is particularly true with plastic, which has many different forms – some more easily recycled than others. Of the estimated 35 million tons of plastic waste the U.S. generates each year, only 8.4% is recycled.

The Community Environmental Council (#CECSB) and Santa Barbara Channelkeeper (SBCK) have worked for more than a decade to reduce the Central Coast’s dependence on single use plastic. Together, we led a local coalition on regulatory advocacy, resulting in seven regional laws that reduce the distribution of plastic bags, straws, and Styrofoam food containers. We have also partnered with Ablitt’s Fine Cleaners and Tailors to expand the impact of their film plastic collection program by nearly fivefold.

In this webinar we learned about updates to the Ablitt’s program and review the dos and don’ts for our blue recycling bins. As we close out Plastic Free July, help us ensure the continued success of these programs.
