At Alpert & Alpert, we recycle plastics and take pride in our ability to handle many of these commodities as a complementary addition to our metal recycling and processing capabilities.
Plastic recycling is the process of recovering scrap or waste plastic and reprocessing the material into useful products, sometimes completely different in form from their original state. Since plastic is non- biodegradable, recycling it is a part of global efforts to reduce plastic in the waste stream, especially the approximately eight million metric tonnes of waste plastic that enter the earth’s ocean every year. This helps to reduce the high rates of plastic pollution.
