That’s a Wrap
Every spring, at marinas all across Ohio, boats come out of their plastic-wrapped winter hibernation for another season on Lake Erie and other waterways. And every fall, those same boats get a new coat of shrink-wrap to weather another Ohio winter.
That’s a lot of plastic, and it often ends up in landfills, where it can take decades or even centuries to break down. To help prevent all that plastic from landing in the trash, the Ohio Clean Marinas Program started the Shrink-Wrap Recycling Program in 2006. Since then, Ohio marinas have recycled more than 2.3 million pounds of shrink-wrap.
