Play Bin It! 2.0 and Earn Real Rewards for Virtual Recycling

The recently updated and expanded mobile app is a fun and addictive game that now includes a wider array of everyday plastics: water bottles, shampoo bottles, and milk jugs. Players try to toss these virtual plastics into a recycling bin while dodging obstacles such as animals and tricky breezes.

Recyclebank points accumulate with every plastic item that makes it into the bin. During the partnership, each player can earn up to 65 points, redeemable for savings on products from Recyclebank’s hundreds of reward partners in more than 10 categories, including food and beverage, health, beauty, and home. (The partnership is scheduled to last through September 2012.)

Recycled plastics today are being used to make a wide variety of useful products, from T-shirts to garden planters to furniture. New technologies allow recycling centers to process a broader range of plastics than ever before, which creates a growing amount of recycled plastics for making new consumer goods. These sustainable plastic products help divert valuable materials from landfills, which closes the recycling loop.
