How we recycle

Each bag is opened upon receipt and visually inspected for any non-compliant materials, then consolidated for processing. Capsules are shredded and screened. The remaining materials are cleaned. Aluminium is sorted, smelted, and formed for use in secondary metals manufacturing. The clean plastics are sorted by material and mixed with other plastics to make recycled plastic blends.
