TUCSON, Ariz. — The city of Tucson's innovative program to manage hard-to-recycle plastics is evolving this summer to address overwhelming participation and enhance sustainability efforts.
Originally launched in 2023, the program aims to reduce landfill waste by converting difficult-to-recycle plastics into useful materials. “We have a big pile of plastic that we need to find a good use for," DeLaTerra said."And that’s really where this Hefty Renew partnership came aboard.” The Los Reales Sustainability Campus on the Southside is also the future site of the ByFusion plant, which is expected to open next year.
“People who are going through all the trouble of participating in this hard-to-recycle plastics program really don’t want to be creating an environmental problem in some other city,” Lett stated.
