Resinate Recycling: May 2021 Impact Update

May 2021 Recycling Update

 

by Garret Schwartz

 

We have record-breaking updates and good news about rewards for people who shop at any of our High-Grade-sponsored Energy Pod locations.

 

You might know about Resinate Recycling for the cannabis community and our packaging recycling partnership with High Grade AZ and Oasis Cannabis, but did know that four times per year, you could win a bundle of the full line of High Grade products if you recycle (and follow the Recycle Rewards steps) at any Oasis Cannabis location?? That’s the High Grade/Resinate Seasonal Giveaway, which comes in addition to the monthly coupons sent to all Oasis recyclers for 20%-off select High Grade products. If you didn’t know, now you know, and you have at least one more good reason to recycle your plastic cannabis packaging!

 

Also, did you see those numbers lately? I’m not talking about Devin Booker’s stats on the court, (although these last few games were incredible). I’m talking about the impressive numbers of people and recyclables coming to fuel the mission at the Energy Pod!

 

In May 2021 alone, High Grade and Resinate recycled 59 lbs of plastic, including joint tubes, pop-top containers, exit bags, and other plastic cannabis packaging that otherwise would have literally fallen through the cracks and gone into landfills even if people recycled them in traditional recycling systems. That means people brought in about 3,000 containers to recycle at these locations. This action not only displaces energy that would have been used to produce new plastics in the future, but also saves space and energy that would be used to landfill these

 items today.

In other words, the people who recycled at Oasis last month helped save enough energy to power a 60-watt light bulb for 147 days or to charge your smartphone for 106 years. Thank you recyclers- your enthusiasm and effort will help us all #FuelTheMission and #ElevateHigher!

You might have wondered what happens to all this plastic. Resinate brings some of it to a local recycler who diverts it into long-term use products, but we use much of it to locally produce useful and artistic products, such as the little stash jar, which we made from 100% recycled cannabis packaging. There are many types of plastic used in the industry, and fortunately, we’re able to safely and effectively use one type (#5/polypropylene) which is very common at dispensaries in Arizona and around the world. Have you seen those little, plastic squeeze-top containers used for cannabis flower? Each one of the little stash jars we make is composed of about 6 of those little containers. That means the little stash jar is a strong, UV-blocking container that keeps your goodies inside while keeping your cannabis packaging out of landfills and ecosystems. These are limited, so take a look at them soon before the reproduct line evolves.

Look out next month for another update on Recycling, rewards, and what’s coming next. If you have questions about recycling or packaging, ideas for a future blog post, or if there’s some way we can help solve a problem or make things better, let us know at hello@resinate.tech or DM us on Instagram.

What makes Live Resin special? Our Live Resin is extracted from fresh frozen material that is frozen right after harvest to ensure that the trichomes stay fully intact. This step helps to preserve the terpenes that can naturally degrade during the dry and cure processes. Preserving these terpenes at the height of their production delivers an experience that is more true to the strain that it is extracted from with its unique aromatics and flavors present. #HighGradeUSA #HighGrade #HGproduct #ElevateHigher ...

Aromas reminiscent of your morning buttered toast and marmalade come to life with a creamy sweetness sprinkled with light tart notes. A mellow happy high that relaxes both your mind and body gently sets in, easing you into a state of calming euphoria. Frosted from top to bottom, each nug almost looks like they were buttered themselves. Catch this beauty in our Arizona market. #HighGrade #HighGradeUSA #ExoticGenetix #ElevateHigher ...
