PRESS RELEASE<\/p>\n
Jackson Pack N Ship has launched a community recycling service for plastic foam loose fill, better known as packing peanuts, at their locations on 1737 Spring Arbor Road and N. West Ave. in Jackson. \u00a0Clean packing peanuts commonly used in shipping containers can be taken to Jackson Pack N Ship for re-use. \u00a0\u201cWe\u2019ll take any quantity as long as there is no foreign material mixed in with it and it is in clean bags or boxes,\u201d said owner Wayne Sowers. \u00a0Jackson Pack N Ship is a member of the Plastic Loose Fill Council, headquartered in Crofton, Maryland and the Recycling Jackson organization. \u00a0According to council literature, peanuts are made of expanded polystyrene (EPS) plastic. \u00a0EPS products do not degrade in landfills.\u00a0 Instead, packing peanuts mummify in the oxygen-deprived environment of modern landfills. \u00a0According to Sowers, peanut durability and resiliency makes them very suitable for repeated use. \u00a0\u201cA few environmentally conscious customers and local businesses bring in packing peanuts already\u201d, said Sowers.\u00a0 \u201cI believe the growth of internet transactions has made packaging peanuts a nuisance in most homes and businesses and we need a place that everyone knows to drop them off. \u00a0Jackson Pack N Ship is now an official collection site.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
