Few choices are available when it comes to the “hard to recycle items”. In the last few years some innovative recycling companies have promised to divert these plastics from the landfill and into new products. 
 

Consumers and corporations are curious: How’s it now possible to recycle these previously unrecyclable items? What’s really happening? Can we trust that all the source separating and additional costs are worth it? Transparency is needed and this webinar will be a good start.
 
TerraCycle and Avangard Innovative will provide insight into their respective processes, including how contamination and residual waste items are handled. They’ll answer questions specific to their programs.
