Our Mission
1 Billion Milk Jugs Saved by 2030
We take pride in the fact that our bins and furnishings are all made from post-consumer recycled plastic milk jugs. The simple act of recycling a milk jug not only prevents it from ending up in a landfill or the ocean, it adds to an extraordinary journey—allowing others to join a common goal of saving the planet.
Setting the Gold Standard
For 25 years, we have worked with some of the best brands in the world, contributing to their sustainability goals. Now we have set the bar even higher. By doing our part to help the planet by manufacturing bins made with Forever·nu™ Lumber, diverting plastics from landfills and oceans. With your help, we are on our way towards saving one billion milk jugs by 2030.
Recycled Plastic Makes Perfect Sense
Forever·Nu (Max-R) Lumber™ is made from 95% pure post consumer HDPE – milk jugs – and is designed for maximum strength and resiliency. It is the purest grade of recycled plastic available in the industry today. Premium grade resins and UV inhibitors are added to the lumber to prevent fading from sun exposure and to ensure our product’s aesthetics and integrity throughout years of use. Since Forever·Nu Lumber doesn’t absorb moisture, it is resistant to mold, rotting, and won’t harbor insects. The result is industry leading, long-lasting, sustainable site furnishings.
