Recycle Hawai’i played an integral role in getting this legislation passed. Bill 83 bans single-use plastics in food service ware.
Recycle Hawai’i launched the HI-5 collection program, which is still in use today and is a huge driver of diverting recycled material from landfills.
Recycle Hawaiʻi is a leader in Zero Waste events, supporting responsible gatherings across Hawaiʻi. We plan, staff, and manage systems that reduce waste, recover materials, and protect our islands. From festivals to schools, we design systems that recover resources, reduce impact, and model sustainable celebration.
