Plastic Savings
Publix recycles up to two million floral buckets from our stores' floral departments annually. By
recycling them instead of just tossing them away, our company will save as much as half a million
cubic feet of landfill space and 5,550 barrels of oil each year.
And that's not all—the energy saved by recycling the plastic buckets is equivalent to about 150,000
gallons of gas, which is the same as eliminating the emissions from 220 cars for one whole year.
