Environmental Performance: Waste Management and Recycling

Recycling Case Study: Schiller Station Barrier

At PSNH’s Schiller Station, a 700-foot wall made of recycled plastic was installed to act as a visual/sound barrier. The wall, composed of 95-percent recycled post consumer plastics, cost the same as a standard timber wall, but using recycled content took a waste stream that would otherwise be dumped in landfills and transformed it into a usable product.
