Innovative Recycling Initiatives Enhance Sustainability Efforts
Ste. Marie, IL, June 7, 2024 ASL Solutions, a leading manufacturer of premium insulated dog houses, is proud to announce the opening of its new EPS foam recycling center in Ste. Marie, IL. Since 2000, ASL Solutions has been dedicated to producing high-quality dog houses using recycled EPS foam (commonly known by the brand name Styrofoam), and with the acquisition of new equipment, the company can now process post-consumer EPS foam in-house, furthering its commitment to sustainability.
The state-of-the-art recycling center allows ASL Solutions to take scrap EPS foam and shred it to use as insulation in their dog houses. This foam is then vacuum-packed into each panel, ensuring superior insulation for pets while contributing to environmental conservation efforts. Recycling EPS foam is crucial because improper disposal, such as burning, can release pollutants into the environment, making recycling a safer and more responsible option. Additionally, EPS foam is not biodegradable and can take over 500 years to begin decomposing, underscoring the importance of effective recycling practices.
Local retailer Hometown Appliance in Olney has already partnered with ASL Solutions to recycle their EPS foam packaging. This collaboration highlights the practical benefits of the new recycling center, demonstrating how local businesses can work together to promote eco-friendly practices.
ASL Solutions is also extending its recycling services to the community. The new facility can accept clean EPS foam (#6), commonly found in various consumer products, for recycling. This initiative provides a valuable service to the community, helping to reduce landfill waste and promoting environmental responsibility.
ASL Solutions’ insulated dog houses are available for purchase on major online platforms such as Chewy.com, Petco.com, Tractorsupply.com, Samsclub.com, Wayfair.com and in retail stores including Rural King, Fleet Farm, Gebos, and Bomgaars. The company’s long-standing commitment to using recycled materials underscores its dedication to sustainability and innovation.
“We are thrilled to expand our recycling capabilities and provide an environmentally friendly solution for our community and customers,” said Pamela Mulvey, [Title] of ASL Solutions. “Our new recycling center not only enhances our product quality but also reinforces our commitment to protecting the environment.”
