Merici College Green Tip #13 – Before you laminate…

Sustainability at Merici

Something to consider before you laminate:

  • Laminate is not recyclable.
  • Laminate is not biodegradable.
  • Laminate will take up space in landfill for hundreds of years, leaching petrochemicals and other harmful chemicals into the water and soil.
  • Laminate does not go into the recycling bin.

Please:

  • Only laminate when it is essential – ask yourself is it worth having this in the environment effecting the water I drink and the food that I eat.
  • Do not put it in the recycling bin.
