Happy Earth Day 2016!

EARTH DAY 2016

Earth Day is more than just a one-day event, it’s something that we need to learn to add into our daily lives as ongoing education, action and change. According to earthday.org this years Earth Day Theme is Trees for the Earth. The website states, “Why trees? Trees help combat climate change, breathe clean air and help communities achieve long-term economic environmental sustainability and provide food, energy and income. Over the next 5 years, as Earth Day moves closer to it’s 50th Anniversary, we’re calling on you to help us achieve one of our most ambitious goals yet – we’re planting 7.8 billion trees and we’re starting now.” Check our earthday.org to see other ways that you can get involved in your community. Let’s all go out and do our part to help our planet in any way that we can.

Dr. Shrink would once again like to remind everyone that our 100% virgin resin shrink wrap is not biodegradable, so it is extremely important that it gets properly recycled. Dr. Shrink has 2 programs in place to easily recycle the plastic.

Our Recycling Run Program is a partnership with Bay Area Recycling for Charities out of Traverse City, MI. It is an inexpensive way to recycle your covers that come off in the spring months. Please remember all strapping, buckles, vents, zipper doors, etc. must be removed prior to packing the cover into the bag. This program is only available in the following states: MI, WI, IN, IL, OH, MN, SD and select locations in New York. To find out more information about this program, click here. Note: You must fax or email the Registration Form back to Dr. Shrink in order to sign up for the pickup.

Our second program, the REBAG Recycling Kit, consists of a 30″ x 50″ clear bag with cover removal directions printed on it, a closure device for the bag and a prepaid FedEx shipping label. Each REBAG will hold the cover from a 26′ powerboat or approximately 600 square feet of shrink wrap. Stuff the bag full and then put the prepaid shipping label on the outside of the bag, call FedEx for pickup or take it to the nearest FedEx store to ship.

Both of these programs are simple and easy ways to properly recycle your shrink wrap.  Please think of the environment not just today, but every day.

Don't Trash Your Shrink Wrap!

Happy Spring from Dr. Shrink, Inc.!

It’s that time of year for those shrink wrap covers to come off your boats, campers, RVs and other recreational items to enjoy that warm weather ahead. Dr. Shrink is gearing up for the seventh year with Bay Area Recycling for our Recycling Run Program. The Recycling Run program allows users in select locations/states to recycle their shrink wrap covers; Dr. Shrink’s 100% virgin resin premium shrink wrap is not biodegradable and is easily recycled into a variety of usable products such as garbage bags and construction plastic.
The Recycling Run Program makes recycling your covers a breeze. All you have to do is buy Dr. Shrink’s EZ-Fill Bags for $5.00/each either online or over the phone, stuff the EZ-Fill Bag with ONLY shrink wrap (NO buckles, strapping, vents or zipper doors) and fill out and return the Registration Form back to Dr. Shrink to be put on our pick up list. If you are located in MI, WI, IN, IL, OH, MN, SD or Long Island, NY, you are eligible for the program.
Not exactly sure how to easily remove your shrink wrap cover? Check out our new Don’t Trash Your Shrink Wrap Silent Movie here, starring our very own President/CEO of Dr. Shrink, Inc., Mike Stenberg.
If you are not in one of the listed Recycling Run states, you could also use our REBAG® Recycling Kit— this program works across the continental U.S.

Shrink Wrap Project for NuDay Syria

Again this year, we are working together with Alison McKeller from “NuDay Syria” which is an organization out of New Hampshire that helps with Syrian relief efforts. Alison has been active in this effort for Syrian relief for about 2 years now. Dr. Shrink is encouraging shrink wrap customers with any remaining end rolls of shrink wrap to donate them. Used shrink wrap can also be donated as long as the cover has been carefully removed and stored, is not holey, dirty, or hard to handle.
All the donations for the Syrian refugees are put into a 40′ container and shipped to Syria where the project activists collect the items for the refugees. Alison states, “In Syria they’ve been using these rolls for everything from shelters, to wall liners for field hospital operating rooms. Getting the ends of rolls makes it a lot easier to ship and less labor intensive, and I’m hoping to track down other companies and individuals willing to donate them.” Dr. Shrink has donated materials to this effort and we are hoping that our shrink wrap customers will do the same.
Collage    NuDay Syria4
These photos show how Syrian refugees have used donated shrink wrap to create test shelters in an area of northern Syria close to the Turkish border. If you look at the shelters being made, it’s easy to see how even the used shrink wrap can be of great use when there are no other options available. Take a look at all the uses for shrink wrap in the Facebook photo album.
NuDay Syria is a registered 501(c)3 and the shipping cost associated with sending your rolls is fully tax deductible. If you live in the New England area, it may also be possible to arrange for the rolls to be picked up. Alison can be contacted at (386) 956-1530 or at alisonmckellar@gmail.com for more information.
Please take less than 10 minutes out of your day to watch this video on the effort for Syrian refugees: Alison McKeller and Nu Day Syria. How the shrink wrap is being donated and used is mentioned at the 2.5 minute mark.
Donate:
You can send your leftover shrink wrap rolls directly to NuDay Syria’s offices:

14 Ellyson Ave.
East Hampstead, NH 03826

Dr. Shrink Donates Shrink Wrap for "Noah Domes" Shipping to Haiti

Dr. Shrink, Inc. recently donated shrink wrap and a demo heat tool to Calamity Love Ministries for their Habitat project for Haiti.  The major earthquake in Haiti in 2010 has had lasting effects as 279,000 Haitians are displaced in poor living conditions and/or homeless. In conjunction with Lowe’s and Habitat for Humanity, Calamity Love Ministries have been constructing dome homes for the homeless in Haiti.
How Dr. Shrink’s Premium Shrink Wrap was Used
The finished domes have to be shipped to Haiti and there was a recommendation of using shrink wrap for shipping. This is where Dr. Shrink became involved.
Dr. Shrink sent Calamity Love Ministries shrink wrap and the necessary propane fired heat tool used to shrink the plastic for the Noah Domes to be encapsulated and shipped to Haiti. The shrink wrap cover ensured that the Noah Domes would arrive in pristine condition and ready for use once delivered.
>>Shrink Wrap Used for Shipping
More on Noah Domes
Calamity Love Ministries describes the “Noah Dome” as a God given plan by which they take the world’s unwanted and inexpensive lumber and turn it into an almost indestructible shelter home. The domes come in several designs, 29 foot for a large family and 12 foot domes for smaller families.  The designs can be installed quickly and securely giving the families a place to call home until they have their own homes rebuilt.
