Dart Container sponsored a recent community cleanup at Eagle Nest Park, organized by the Plastics Industry Association (PLASTICS) and Keep Orlando Beautiful during PLASTICS’ National Plastics Conference. The event brought together 40 volunteers, who collected more than 150 pounds of waste, including recyclable materials, helping keep Orlando’s parks and waterways clean.
The event was a collaboration through the Community Impact Task Group of PLASTICS’ Future Leaders in Plastics Committee (FLiP) – a professional development initiative for plastics industry professionals under the age of 40. The task group’s mission is to foster collaboration, provide an outlet to give back and positively impact the environment and communities in which the plastics industry serves.
“Dart is committed to reducing litter and advancing a circular economy for plastics, which is why we were proud to sponsor this cleanup that kept more than 150 pounds of waste out of Orlando’s parks and waterways,” said Libby Rice, Sustainability Program Manager at Dart. “Partnerships like this demonstrate how industry can step up and make a tangible impact in local communities. From community cleanups to large-scale sustainability initiatives, Dart continues to invest in projects that protect neighborhoods, waterways and shared spaces—helping ensure a cleaner, healthier environment.”
The event was made possible thanks to logistical support from Keep Orlando Beautiful and the backing of industry partners, including Dart. Together, they supported 40 volunteers who spent the afternoon removing more than 154 pounds of mismanaged waste from Orlando’s parks and waterways.
