Where do they go?

July 8th, 2008 by admin

Do you ever wonder what happens to your plastic bags with you put them in the trash? For years they ended up in landfills and will remain there for longer than you and I will be around. Now through plastic bag recycling we can keep the landfill clean and produce valuable products for the consumer. A lot of the recyclable plastic material can be used to make composite lumber for decks and other construction projects. Most of it is reprocessed into small pellets called post consumer resin. These are then used in the manufacture of other plastic goods such as more bags, pallets, containers and pipe.
