ABOUT eCycle®

eCycle® was born from passionate employees looking for a way to make a difference. Their dedication to living sustainably was contagious. Today, we produce products made from recycled materials and incorporate green practices wherever and whenever possible.

 

What is eCycle: eCycle is our proprietary mix of recycled plastics, containing 100% recycled material with up to 25% post consumer content.

Why is using post consumer content important? Post consumer content, the waste consumers use and discard every day, is filling our landfills and taxing our resources. An increase in collecting, recycling and reusing this discarded content is where the most significant environmental improvement and energy savings potential exists today.

How are you helping our planet by using eCycle products?
By using an eCycle product, you’re:

  • Reusing
  • Giving new life to materials that would normally be discarded as trash
  • Preventing coffee cups, water bottles, butter containers, bottle caps from filling our landfills
  • Using 1/3 less energy; according to the EPA, it takes 1/3 more energy to make the same product from new plastic than recycled plastic

Where does eCycle material come from? All of the recycled polypropylene (PP) used in our recycled products comes from consumer food and beverage packaging, such as polypropylene tubs often used for refrigerated food packaging including butter, margarine, yogurt, ice cream and beverage bottle caps.

All of the recycled polycarbonate (PC) used in our recycled products comes from beverage containers and other high-grade polycarbonate consumer product manufacturing scrap.

eCycle comes in three varieties:

  • eCycle injection-molding polypropylene blend: 100% recycled polypropylene with up to 25% post-consumer content
  • eCycle blow-molding polypropylene blend: 90% recycled polypropylene plus 10% virgin polypropylene, with up to 25% post-consumer content
  • eCycle polycarbonate blend: 100% recycled polycarbonate with up to 25% post-consumer content. Polycarbonate material is on the outside surface and does not come into contact with food or beverages.

All products made with eCycle are BPA-FREE on food contact surfaces.

Most products made with eCycle are also recyclable where [5] plastics are collected.

What makes products made with eCycle safe? Each and every product including our eCycle products we make is FDA tested and safe. All of our recycled plastics materials are cleaned and processed to meet the highest standards of quality.

How can I recycle the Stanley products made with eCycle? Our products made with eCycle are recyclable at facilities where [5] is collected and recycled. Collection for [5] plastic is growing, yet it is not widely available for curbside pickup in most neighborhoods. Find the recycling facility nearest to you at www.earth911.com
