We're taking bread tags to support The Little School's program
Plastic bread tags
Any color!
Reusable twist ties
Reusable rubber bands
Loose plastic bottle caps
We can take these in our Swappable Category of loose plastic bottle caps!
More little tiny plastic things! Bread tags do help keep our loaves fresh, but they also contaminate beaches and waste streams as they slip through the cracks.
Save up your bread tags - we’ll be featuring this on a regular basis!
The Little School is a local school that takes creative education seriously. The school community collects bread tabs and then the students count them by placing them in groups of 10, then 100, then 1,000 and so on. They have collected over 200,000 so far.
Ridwell is partnering with them to bring more to their collection. And worry not! If the project is ever discontinued, we now have recycling partners lined up to take the bread tabs and ensure they get recycled.
What happens after the program is over?
We work with a partner in Oregon to recycle bread tags once the program at The Little School is complete!
