Michigan residents can now benefit from trekking their recyclables to Recycle Here! The Green Zone Shoppe recently opened a new facility carrying Michigan Green Safe Products – one can go there to retrieve toilet paper and paper towels made from 100 percent post-manufacturer materials. Not to mention, all-natural soaps and cleaning products, biodegradable “plastic” bags of all sizes, as well as cutlery and utensils – there’s a plethora of all the typically thrown-away, chemically-laden products used by the majority of households.
The main Holden Recycle Here! facility sees an average of 600 drop-offs a week.
Matt Naimi, director of operations of Recycle Here! and co-owner of Michigan Green Safe, says The Green Zone Shoppe’s opening was all about demand. Naimi hopes The Green Zone Shoppe will reel in many more individuals, encouraging more people to make the effort. The Green Shoppe additionally carries “Bee Green” merchandise, featured by a local artist, and Naimi says the shop would be open to selling locally-made green products if appropriate.
