RECYCLE CAPS WITH AVEDA

Aveda found that a majority of plastic bottle caps do not get recycled today.
Often these caps end up as litter or trash, ending up in landfills and beaches or migrating into our rivers and oceans. Birds and other marine creatures mistake them for food with tragic results. The magnitude of this pollution problem is devastating to our oceans and wildlife.

You can be part of the solution by joining Recycle Caps with Aveda & HAWK.
Aveda is announcing a new recycling initiative that helps extend the current boundaries of recycling and elicit participation from all corners of our community. With the help of our network of salons and stores, in partnership with community schools, we are building a new recycling program for plastic bottle caps in which caps are collected at stores, schools and at monthly HAWK meetings and then sent by Aveda to our recycler where the material is recycled into new caps and containers. Aveda has been able to work closely with our suppliers to develop ways to make new caps and containers from the recycled caps. We hope to ship new products using this reworked, environmentally-friendly material later this year.

So, as you remove the bottle caps and recycle the plastic bottles, save those caps and bring them to HAWK. Cindy Kanelos will coordinate the process.

For information, attend our next HAWK Chapter meeting in April or visit this site: http://aveda.aveda.com/aboutaveda/caps.asp
