How Anthropologie Saved 60,000 Pounds of Plastic Bags From Going Into Landfills

Anthropologie is finding new life for something most retailers throw away: plastic poly bags. Through a partnership with WM, more than 60,000 pounds of plastic packaging have been collected from over 200 stores and recycled into reusable materials. The effort combines innovation and logistics — transforming a waste stream into a new source of value.

While recycling alone isn’t the end goal, Anthropologie and WM are using this initiative to build better systems for reducing plastic use altogether. It’s a small change with a big impact, showing how collaboration between retailers and recyclers can help move the industry toward a more sustainable future.
