Be the top dog and it’s inevitable. That said, a Wal-Mart branded Polystyrene recycling container recently appeared at my city’s recycling drop off facility. It appears the retail giant is stepping up and leveraging it’s scale to create demand for an otherwise non-recyclable material.

Undoubtedly they will backhaul the Recyclable polystyrene material to one of their DCs for economies of scale.

This is reminescent of Coca-Cola and PET, where it’s demand for recycled material in it’ s bottles spurred the PET recycling market. What’s truly impressive is that Wal-Mart appears to be moving beyond it’s loading dock and partnering with municipal recycling efforts. That’s a nice move. Well done Wal-Mart!
