PRSEI: More Than A Recycling Company

We See Potential

For 30+ years, the PRSEI team has dared to think differently about plastics. Where others see landfills and waste, we see potential. To us, plastics is a valuable resource that can have infinite usefulness if we reclaim and reuse it responsibly. That’s why we developed an integrated, sustainable business model to effectively manage and control the entire lifecycle of plastics. We create more value from our plastics, more efficiency for our customers, and less impact on the environment.
