What is the impact of plastic pollution?

Plastic pollution significantly affects global waterways and oceans, posing environmental and ecological challenges. It disrupts marine life and ecosystems, while also contributing to pollution on land.

What is regrind and why is it important?

Regrind is recycled industrial plastic scrap that can be reused in manufacturing processes. Using regrind helps reduce the need for virgin plastics, thereby minimizing plastic waste and supporting sustainability.

How do regulations affect the recycling of plastic scrap?

Regulations like California Proposition 65 can limit the market for recycled plastics by imposing strict guidelines that manufacturers must follow. This often results in a preference for virgin plastics, which complicates efforts to promote recycling.
