We Can All Make A Difference
Plastic bags are recycled into many different products. Most plastic bags are recycled into composite lumber but can also be reprocessed into small pellets, or post consumer resin, which can become feed stock for a variety of products such as new bags, pallets, containers, crates, and pipe. Plus Packaging Inc. makes products containing recycled, biodegradable, and/or eco-friendly products.
You can help by returning clean, dry, empty plastic, paper and non-woven bags to recycling drop off centers or as I recently found out throughout many National Parks in the USA
Zion National Park (in Utah) is just one National Park that began its recycling program in 2000. Since that time the program has expanded to include over 20 different types of materials and over 50 tons of material diverted to different landfills each year. As a visitor to the parks this summer, look for the recycle drop off centers…You can make a difference too!
