All summer, we’ve been spotlighting how plastics recycling really works—and how you can play a role in keeping circularity going strong. Now, we’re taking a look inside the facilities that make it all possible!
Located in Las Vegas and Indianapolis, Republic Services’ Polymer Centers are the first of their kind in North America. They’re designed to take plastic bottles, jugs and containers collected from homes and businesses and turn them into new sustainable packaging, helping us close the loop on plastic recycling.
Traditionally, many recycled plastics were downcycled into items like carpet or construction materials. Our Polymer Centers help solve that challenge by producing high-quality recycled plastics that can go right back into new bottles and jugs.
Watch the video above to take a closer look at our facilities that are transforming plastics circularity every day.
