It's Disposable, So How's It Green?
Environmental Facts About Fast Funnel®
There are several reasons why Fast Funnel is an environmentally friendlier solution than a plastic funnel. Some of them are:
MATERIALS
Fast Funnel is made from sustainable material...paper. Our raw materials
come from suppliers committed to sustainable forestry programs.
Additionally, our primary vendor is
FSC* and SFI** certified.
DECOMPOSITION
Fast Funnel is biodegradable. Eventually, plastic funnels are thrown out
and will end up in landfills where they spend the next 500+ years. By
most estimates, paper products degrade almost completely between a few
months and a few years in landfills.
RECYCLING/ RECOVERY
Fast Funnel is easily recycled. Additionally, more companies and even
some municipalities are employing the use of waste stream energy recovery
systems to harness the energy potential of combustible waste stream
products like Fast Funnel.
WASTE STREAM REMOVAL
Fast Funnel reduces the waste associated with clean-up. Reusable funnels
require paper towels or rags, and often chemicals for cleaning after use.
The volume of waste that ends up in the garbage from the soiled paper or
rags (or the impact of the energy and chemicals needed to wash them) is
greater than that from Fast Funnel.
SEEPAGE/ RUNOFF
Because Fast Funnel is so convenient to use and dispose of they can help
prevent those careless spills that occur when people don't take the time to
pour through a funnel or lay the dripping plastic funnel on the ground
during a project.
