Only 9% of plastic waste is recycled annually.

​

The disposal of approximately 1 billion pounds of janitorial equipment and supplies—including vacuum cleaners, floor machines, mop buckets, and entry mats

Items like mop heads, cleaning cloths, and vacuum cleaner bags, made from synthetic materials, contribute to waste. The janitorial services industry in Florida, valued at approximately $5.5 billion, generates substantial waste from these consumables.

 

 

85% ends up in landfills, where they leach harmful chemicals into the ground and water supplies.
