Preserve's products are made in the USA, BPA free, microwave safe, not tested on animals, and sold nationally in stores such as Whole Foods Market, Trader Joe's, Hannaford, The TJX Companies, and Amazon.[6] ProcessPreserve sources the plastic used to make their products from both individuals looking to recycle and companies collecting #5 plastic.[6] The company uses the recycled polypropylene plastic - most notably sourced from yogurt and hummus containers - to create eco-friendly, well-designed household products. So far, Preserve has reused over 100 tons of recycled materials.[6] Gimme 5To further encourage the recycling of No. 5 plastic, Preserve initiated the Gimme 5 Program in 2009 - a nationwide program run in conjunction with Whole Foods Market.[6][7] Gimme 5 is a partnership between Preserve and various like-minded companies such as Stonyfield Farm[14] and Berry Plastics. Gimme 5 collection bins are set up in over 200 Whole Foods Markets, nationwide. These bins serve to collect these companies’ #5 plastic containers, as well as Brita pitcher and water bottle filters[8] and Plum Organics caps. Consumers can drop off their clean, rigid plastics stamped with a “5” at any Gimme 5 station nationwide.[9] Berry Plastics, Whole Foods and Preserve manage all of the collection and recycling.[6][8] As a result of the program, Whole Foods recycled nearly 300,000 pounds of No. 5 plastics in 2012. Approximately 10-20% of the No. 5 materials used in Preserve products came from the Gimme 5 program.[6] A partnership with Recyclebank also allows consumers to earn points for their recycling efforts.[1][6] References1. ^1 {{cite news|last1=Phansey|first1=Asheen|title=The Business of Business Ecology|url=http://www.fastcoexist.com/1679626/the-business-of-business-ecology|accessdate=27 May 2015|work=Fast Company}} 2. ^1 {{cite news|last1=Zezima|first1=Katie|title=Plastic Finds a Second Life and Skirts the Dump|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/21/business/smallbusiness/21tooth.html|accessdate=7 February 2015|work=The New York Times|date=21 May 2008}} 3. ^{{cite news|last1=Leiber|first1=Nick|title=America's Most Promising Social Entrepreneurs 2011|url=https://www.bloomberg.com/bw/slideshows/20110621/america-s-most-promising-social-entrepreneurs-2011#slide19|accessdate=4 July 2014|work=Bloomberg Businessweek|date=13 July 2011}} 4. ^{{cite news|last1=Pearlman|first1=Alex|title=For social entrepreneurs, the 'bottom line' is people, not profit|url=http://www.boston.com/lifestyle/blogs/thenextgreatgeneration/2012/01/for_social_entrepreneurs_the_b.html|accessdate=12 May 2014|work=Boston.com|date=12 January 2012}} 5. ^{{cite news|last1=Cohen|first1=Deborah|title=Entrepreneur attributes success to lean and green model|url=https://www.reuters.com/article/2008/12/23/us-column-green-entrepreneur-idUSTRE4BM4T620081223|accessdate=7 October 2014|work=Reuters|date=23 December 2008}} 6. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 {{cite news|last1=Coco|first1=Donna|title=Green Trash|url=http://www.babson.edu/news-events/babson-magazine/winter-2013/pages/green-trash.aspx|accessdate=1 December 2014|work=Babson}} 7. ^1 {{cite news|last1=Walker|first1=Rob|title=Revalued|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/08/magazine/08wwln-consumed-t.html?_r=2& |accessdate=14 February 2013|work=The New York Times|date=4 March 2009}} 8. ^1 {{cite news|last1=Walker|first1=Alissa|title=Preserve Everyday Tableware Is Designed For Consumers To Keep|url=http://www.fastcompany.com/1444690/preserve-everyday-tableware-designed-consumers-keep |accessdate=5 May 2014|work=Fast Company|date=10 November 2009}} 9. ^1 {{cite news|last1=Strom|first1=Stephanie|title=Companies Pick Up Used Packaging, And Recycling's Cost|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/24/business/companies-pick-up-used-packaging-and-recyclings-cost.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0 |accessdate=20 March 2014|work=The New York Times|date=23 March 2012}} 2 : Companies established in 1996|1996 establishments in Massachusetts |
