What does that mean?

Our products help prevent flooding, which increases quality of life for people living in large cities, suburbs, and rural towns.
We also believe in creating a circular economy and are the second largest plastic recycling company in North America.
We use plastic shampoo and detergent bottles to create pipe, diverting over 500 million pounds of plastic from landfills every year.
