About Materials Reuse Recycling

Materials Reuse recycles industrial waste so that materials can be
used more efficiently by directly lowering energy use, pollution and costs. As a result, recycled materials are kept in the economy and out of the landfill.

When a plastic manufacturer needed help with the rising disposal costs of solid waste in a California facility, Materials Reuse was able to recycle its contaminated plastic film and poly-coated paper. Recycling both lowered the operating costs for this facility and generated new revenue for the company.

For years a plastic packaging company generated plastic co-polymer film scrap as part of their daily operations. They threw it away. This filled one compactor per day, seven days a week, at a cost of $750 per day. Materials Reuse was able to help this company to substantially lower its disposal costs by recycling this material.
