Re-Stream, who we recently formed a partnership with, is a green logistics company focused on environmental responsibility by reducing waste on both a project-based and contractual basis. Founded by the team who created an industry, Re-Stream is a woman-owned business enterprise based in Waltham, MA.
As many of our members and sponsors are well aware, buildings are an enormous contributor to waste, greenhouse gas emissions, pollution, and subsequently, a leading cause of climate change. Re-Stream is cognizant of this fact, noting that the built environment has contributed more than 70% of total landfill content. Re-Stream knows that thoughtfully repurposing and recycling from this waste source can have a positive impact on the environment now and for future generations.
Re-Stream is committed to helping clients execute successful business practices backed by years of experience in logistics solutions, and an extensive network of partners to ensure all physical assets be re-used and or recycled, in a cost-effective manner, on any schedule clients choose. Their services include: recyling program development, decommissioning, relocation purging, electronics recycling, secure shredding, relocation rental products, and asset recycling. Its products include crates, dollies, carts, bins, and moving supplies to ensure that clients have a seamless transition when relocating.

The Kelly School all received new recycle bins for plastic. Up until our project, the entire complex (four different elementary schools) only recycled paper. We are the first school to recycle plastic! All of the students participated in a poster contest to show what they learned about recycling. These posters are posted around the school near the recycle bins. In all, about 150 students participated in the poster contest! We see students recycling plastic bottles and encouraging their teachers to recycle their snack containers each day.
The students in my classroom are excited and motivated to recycle. Their favorite book we read was The Adventures of a Plastic Bottle. Their favorite song is The Three R’s by Jack Johnson. We are still recycling in our school today and hope to encourage others to do so!
Special thank you to Re-Stream who funded this project. It seems to be right in line with their mission and we can thank them enough!
