Every customer we work with is unique when it comes to their recycling and recovery needs. For this reason, we work closely with each customer to develop a customized recycling program that may include purchase options, logistics, and handling services. By listening to our customers and understanding their goals, we can develop a recycling program specific to their needs.
The Full Picture
Our process starts with an initial meeting, during which we begin to understand the needs and goals of our customer. We look at the entire manufacturing process and identify what can be recycled, how it can be collected, and what recycling methods should be used. From this point, we can begin to develop a customized recycling program.
Though the process is customized for each customer, our common services include:
Material Acquisition
We work together to understand your specific goals and to determine the fair market value of your plastic material.
Collection
We evaluate what types of materials you have, which materials are recyclable, the best way to sort and prep the material, and the best method for collecting and shipping the materials to be recycled.
Custom Toll Services
We provide services, such as shredding, grinding, granulating, custom destruction, aspiration, and other toll services
Tracking / Reporting
We provide online access to customizable tracking reports through our PRITS system, allowing our customers real-time data insight and convenient oversight of their recycling program.
