JAHACO is on a mission to give new life to non-recyclable plastic, transforming items like bread and shipping bags into long-lasting benches. "The mission of JAHACO really is to take the non-recyclable plastic and be able to make it into benches like this," says co-owner, Jeff Burke.

Each bench removes 13,000 plastic bags from landfills and waterways.

Partnering with Eco Plastic Products of Delaware, JAHACO uses specialized equipment to repurpose plastic into durable lumber.

"It makes us feel good that were helping the environment," adds Jeff, "but were also providing something thatll be lasting for years."

Spinach Has Never Disappeared This Quickly at a Party

Spinach is not normally the first thing people race toward on an appetizer table, but these crisp, cheesy bites make a convincing argument for changing that. Salty feta brings its unmistakable tang, spinach adds freshness and color, and savory herbs pull everything together in a snack with crisp edges and plenty of personality. Unlike a heavy dip that needs chips, bowls, and serving spoons, these crisps arrive ready to grab and eat. They deliver concentrated flavor in a small package, making them satisfying without filling everyone up before dinner begins. The Mediterranean-inspired combination feels brighter than an ordinary cheese snack, while the baked texture gives each bite the kind of crunch that keeps hands drifting back toward the platter. Even guests who claim they are “just trying one” may suddenly become very interested in where you placed the remaining batch.
