A Full Line of Eventware Recycled Products

Weisenbach Recycled Products recently launched a full line of recycled plastic items that are specifically designed for use at events. This line of plates, cups, saucers and trays is aptly called Eventware®.

The spirit of Eventware® is to promote more eco-friendly events by providing quality, re-usable products that are easy to transport, easy to clean and generate far less waste than disposable plates, cups & bowls.

Currently, the Eventware® line of products include social plates (pictured left), coffee mugs, beer steins, picnic plates, stadium cups, snack serving trays (pictured lower right) and bar caddies. Weisenbach is working to add even more items to the collection soon.


Eventware® is ideal for use at events such as tailgating, graduation parties, fundraisers, cocktail parties, holiday gatherings and more. Many of the sturdy, yet lightweight plastic items can easily be stacked and packed in your cooler, backpack, or picnic basket.

You can now find all of our Eventware® products for sale online at RecyclingIsCool.com or call us at 800-778-5420 and ask us how to  customize your Eventware® especially for your organization.

Are You Ready for Some Football (Recycle Bins)?

Cheer on your team while going green! Our heavy duty, durable Football Shaped Recycling Container is specially designed for bottle & can recycling. At 43" tall and 24" wide, this container is easy to spot and easy to access. Fans will notice, and won't pass the chance to recycle their empty bottles & cans.

Just like the game of football, this container is made in the USA. And with true American ingenuity, it's crafted of recycled HDPE (High Density Polyethylene - #2).

And our Eventware™ One-Handed Snack Plates  make it easy to green your tailgate by generating less waste. These plates are washable, reusable, convenient and they make it easy to eat & drink while standing up. With Eventware™, fans can hold onto their drink and snacks with one hand, leaving their other hand free to greet, cheer, or high-five.
  

These plates work great with cups, bottles or cans, so no matter which beverage you choose, Eventware™ can accommodate it. Our favorite, choose a local brew to maximize your environmental awareness while minimizing your environmental impact. 

After the game, Eventware™ plates can easily be stacked and brought home in a cooler or other sealed container.  They are made with durable food-grade recycled plastic and top-rack dishwasher safe.

This Recycled Stuff is for the Birds

The Recycle-Bottle Bird Feeder helps put used plastic soda bottles to a good new use. Simply fill a clean, empty bottle with seed and twist on the recycled plastic feeder attachment.  Poke a couple of holes to attach the hanger and this feeder is good to go. Your custom imprint goes on a package insert, which also doubles as a bookmark, printed on 100% recycled paperboard using soy inks. 

Personally, I like this feeder because it helps to conserve birdseed, too. At our home, we purchased a large, expensive wooden feeder at the store. It seems like each time we fill it, we look outside and see a large bird (or sometimes a squirrel) tossing the seed about, looking for the particular ones that it wants and sending everything else to the ground. The feeder is emptied by the end of the day. By contrast, this feeder has a smaller seed reservoir, which helps keep the seed in the feeder for all of the birds to enjoy!  

   

Another great way to both recycle and to conserve your birdseed supply is by storing seed in empty plastic milk jugs. These jugs make filling feeders a lot easier, and since they have secure-fitting lids, they also keep unwanted pests like bugs & mice out of your seed. The FitFill® Birdseed Funnel is unique in its ability to attach directly onto the empty jug. This allows you to have both hands free while you are pouring, making seed transfer easier and cleaner.    

The FitFill® Birdseed funnel is also available at Wild Birds Unlimited stores and other specialty retailers.

Please Vote to Make a Giant Difference - Recycle Plastic Caps

We humbly ask our readers to help us spread awareness about the big problems that little pieces of plastic can cause.

2.5 million plastic bottles are discarded every hour. The bottle may get recycled, but the plastic caps are a giant problem for marine life, birds, and for the environment. Weisenbach just received a patent for a pollution prevention product that we make from plastic bottle caps. Our program involves public collection sites for the caps that will provide wildlife protection and litter prevention awareness while inviting community involvement in the collection and recycling process.

The Green Giant ‘Green Award’ will help us divert and recycle plastic caps by creating very cool, useful green products – a giant solution for a giant problem. Watch the Video and Vote!

Weisenbach Recycled Products Makes Big Play for Green Football Fans

Exclusive football shaped recycling bin delivers a winning combination. It's easy to spot, easy to access, and helps keep the stadium Green. Made of recycled plastic and ready to customize with team logos; fans won't pass the chance to recycle bottles and cans.

The always innovative Weisenbach Recycled Products scores with a new recycling bin that is sure to make big plays in cleaning up at sporting events, on campuses, and anywhere that football fans gather to watch a game and enjoy a beverage from a bottle or a can.

The new bottle and can recycling bin looks just like a football and stands at an eye-catching 43 x 24 inches. Themed design and sturdy construction make it easy for fans to take care of their empties and get back to the action on the field.

Just like the game of football, it's made in the USA. And with true American ingenuity, it's crafted of recycled HDPE (High Density Polyethylene - #2). So while it makes recycling accessible to fans, it also demonstrates what can be made from recycled plastic.

"Football is fun. Drinking a cold beverage is fun. And recycling is fun." Says Dan Weisenbach, president and founder of the 30 year-old Columbus company that is the exclusive source for the football shaped recycle bin. "Recycling is mostly about changing human behavior from a Throw it out and get more mindset to a Toss it towards making something useful mindset. When we make that behavior easy for folks; when we make it accessible and fun, it becomes a habit - a new behavioral norm."

Colleges, sports venues, and public facilities of all kinds are working hard to make recycling a habit for students, fans, and visitors. The new football bin offers features that facilitate collecting bottles and cans in these large facilities. The surface is easy to customize with team logos and decals. They come clearly marked with the chasing arrows recycling symbol and have cutouts encircled with the words "Recycle bottles and cans" around an opening that is sized to accept just those containers. The pointed top also prevents trash and garbage from being placed on top of the bins; a common problem with flat-topped recycling containers.
