Last October we reported on a push to convince the makers of household water filters, particularly the Clorox-owned Brita, to set up programs to recycle their products, which aren’t accepted by any kind of municipal recycling programs.
The following month, Brita announced just such a plan, which finally goes into effect this month: In conjunction with Preserve’s Gimme 5 program, which focuses on recycling #5 plastics, Brita filters can now either be mailed back for recycling or (for those lucky enough to live near a location) dropped off at one of these participating Whole Foods stores.
