Recycling for mortuaries isn't exactly new. Many in the death care industry strive for eco-balance, but Frigid Fluid Co. is the first to provide a formal bottle recycling program for their customers. FFC offers all customers who enroll in the program a free recycling bin for direct collection according to their local waste management policies.
