In fact, you probably also don\u2019t think much about the afterlife of your trash and recycling either.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>But plastics can have a life long before and after they reach you. There are two main types of plastic:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Virgin plastic<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n<p>This plastic was made directly from crude oil or natural <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/why-do-we-fart\/\">gas<\/a>. It\u2019s brand new and is the most harmful to the environment.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"2\">\n<li><strong>Recycled plastic<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n<p>This is also called post-consumer recycled plastic and was previously another product before being made into the product in your hands. Recycled plastic is not only better for the environment, but can be part of the larger solution to eliminate single-use plastics.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>At face value, you may not be able to tell difference, so it\u2019s important to educate yourself on brands that work to use recycled plastics.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>HUM uses <a href=\"https:\/\/www.preventedoceanplastic.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Prevented Ocean Plastic<\/a>\u2122, a form of recycled plastic that does double-duty by also protecting the oceans from pollution.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>In some countries and regions, the infrastructure to support recycling programs does not exist. \u00a0 Without well-run municipal solid waste programs, trash can end up in our waterways, harming the environment. Plastic, in particular, can be extremely detrimental to our oceans. This plastic is referred to as ocean-bound plastic and is defined by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iswa.org\/?v=7516fd43adaa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">International Solid Waste Foundation<\/a> as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Plastic found within 30 miles of an ocean coastline or major waterway that feeds into the ocean.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The country or region lacks waste management infrastructure and collection incentives.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The infrastructure is being overwhelmed by population growth or tourism.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There is a significant risk to wildlife if plastic contaminates their ecosystem.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s where Prevented Ocean Plastic\u2122 comes in. Prevented Ocean Plastic\u2122 has been collected from coastlines before it reaches the ocean and is recycled into new products, like HUM bottles.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-hum-nutritions-commitment-to-protecting-our-oceans\">HUM Nutrition\u2019s Commitment to Protecting Our Oceans<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>HUM first <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/ocean-bound-plastics\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\">transitioned to using Prevented Ocean Plastic<\/a><strong>\u2122<\/strong> in 2021.
