OneSTL Water

THE LOCAL WATER THAT DOES GOOD FOR ST. LOUIS


OUR STORY

OneSTL Water was created to support a simple goal – show St. Louis area residents that recycling works.

To stand out and make a difference, we needed to do something different. So we decided to create a new way to engage, activate, and connect people to recycling. OneSTL Water helps St. Louis area residents see that recycling matters and it directly connects them to the role they play in the recycling process.

RECYCLING WORKS IN ST. LOUIS – YOU MATTER!

Want to see proof positive that Recycling Works in St. Louis? Watch the video below to see the entire lifecycle of an aluminum can. Here’s a chance for you to see how you are critical to the recycling process. From making the initial choice of selecting a product packaged in an infinitely recyclable aluminum can, through your recycling efforts, to the return of new products with recycled content to store shelves, your actions matter to a more sustainable future!

MAKING A COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABILITY

Not only is recycling the right thing to do, it’s also smart business. From the choices individuals make to the way a big business thinks and acts, we all make a significant impact on our region. Committing to sustainability and recycling matters. Watch this video to learn more. 

HOW CAN YOU HELP?

The choices you make MATTER. With your help, we can all have a truly positive and lasting impact on the St. Louis region. Look for OneSTL Water at Urban Chestnut Brewing Company’s Grove Bierhall, St. Louis Art Museum and Missouri History Museum.

RECYCLE!

You can make a lasting impact and drive recycling and waste reduction efforts forward in St. Louis.

By recycling, you help in the following ways:

  1. Conservation of Resources – By recycling materials like aluminum, paper, and glass, you help reduce the need to extract and process raw materials from the environment.
  2. Reduction of Waste – When you recycle, you help reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills.
  3. Energy Savings – Recycling helps manufacturers save energy that is wasted when they have to produce goods from virgin materials. Did you know that recycling aluminum saves up to 95% of the energy that is required to produce new aluminum?
  4. Economic Benefits – By recycling, you help municipalities reduce the costs associated with waste disposal AND you create recycling industry jobs.
  5. Conservation of Habitat – Extracting new raw materials often involves habitat destruction and ecosystem disruption. By recycling, you help reduce the demand manufacturers have for virgin materials.

STICK WITH THE 6!

When you “Stick with the Six” you are reducing recycling contamination by recycling six specific items:

  1. Paper
  2. Flattened cardboard
  3. Plastic bottles and containers
  4. Blass bottles and jars
  5. Metal food and beverage cans
  6. Food and beverage cartons

Stick with the Six is a way for you to avoid “wishcycling,” where you may mistakenly place nonrecyclable items in your recycling bins, leading to contamination. Learn more at RecycleResponsibly.org.

NEVER PLACE PLASTIC BAGS IN A RECYCLING BIN

Plastic bags are the single most significant source of contamination at recycling centers. Recycling facilities shut down for hours when plastic bags jam machinery. Clearing tangled plastic bags from jammed machinery puts workers at risk for injuries.

Plastic bags require different processing equipment than your regular recycling. To recycle plastic bags, bring them back to your local grocery or retail store. Visit NexTrex.com to learn more about plastic bag and plastic film recycling and to find a drop-off location near you!
