Reduce Single-Use Plastic with Recycling Efforts

It's Plastic Free July! All month we'll share simple ways to cut single-use packaging, beginning with the basics: refuse, reduce, reuse, recover and recycle. #YourPROofChoice #CircularEconomy #SustainabilityinAction #EPRinKenya #Recycle4Growth #PlasticFreeJuly

Understanding what happens to plastic after it's collected is key to making informed waste management decisions. Our latest blog explores the commercial plastic recycling process—from collection and sorting through to reprocessing and manufacturing new products. It also highlights why effective waste segregation is essential for improving recycling rates and supporting a circular economy. Whether you're looking to strengthen your organisation's sustainability strategy or simply want to understand where your recyclable plastics go, this guide provides a clear overview of the process.

Not all plastics are the same! 🚫 Different types of plastic have different recycling requirements. The number inside the recycling symbol indicates the plastic type but does not guarantee recyclability. If there is no local market for a plastic type, it may not be recycled even if it is technically possible. PET (#1) is the most widely recycled plastic globally and is highly valued by California reclaimers for bottle-to-bottle recycling. ♻️

The result marks the conclusion of REset Plastic, a groupwide strategy launched in 2018 to reduce plastic consumption, increase recycled content and improve packaging recyclability.

Through chemical recycling, plastic waste can be recycled again and again. Our TAC™ process complements mechanical recycling by treating plastics that are difficult or unable to be mechanically recycled. By keeping plastics in circulation, we are reducing plastic pollution and contributing to the circular economy.

How Many Lives Can One Bottle Live? More than you think. A single PET bottle doesn't have to end up as waste. With the right recycling process, it can begin a whole new journey. One bottle. Countless possibilities. Infinite impact. Every bottle recycled is one step closer to a circular economy and a cleaner planet.

This statistic isn't an argument against recycling—it’s a reminder of its limitations. Plastic recycling faces challenges that go far beyond the recycling bin, from material design and contamination to infrastructure, economics, consumer behavior, and end markets. Recycling remains an important part of the solution. But it can't be the only strategy we rely on to reduce plastic waste. #PlasticFreeJuly #Recycling #CircularEconomy #Compost #SustainableLiving #ZeroWaste

The Beach-Plastic Trap Did you know ocean plastic is harder to recycle? Meet "The Sea-Salt Sabotage": When PET (#1) plastic ends up in the ocean, microscopic salt crystals embed into the material. Even after a wash, that residual salt acts as a chemical catalyst during melting, destroying the plastic's polymer chains and making it too weak to reuse. The Lesson: Beach cleanups are vital, but preventing waste from reaching the environment in the first place is critical. Protect material purity and make your recycling count by recycling properly from the start! #Recycling #Sustainability #CircularEconomy #Stewardship
