Sustainability

Petoskey Plastics is a very diverse company. In addition to manufacturing world-class multi-layer bags and film, we are also one of the largest post-consumer film recyclers in North America.

EACH MONTH WE RECYCLE OVER 2.5 million lbs

of landfill-bound plastic bags and stretch wrap.

We began recycling in 1978, before it was "in."

Our constantly evolving research, technologies, and materials have led to a full line of high-performance polyethylene products that contain recycled material, keeping the environment in mind.

Can Liners Can Sacks Recycling Bags Drawstring Trash Bags

All products can contain 70% or more post-consumer recycled plastic. It varies depending on specific product requirements.

The closed loop program includes

✓COLLECTION & TRANSPORTATION ✓SORTING & PROCESSING ✓PELLET PRODUCTION & QUALITY ASSURANCE ✓BLOWN FILM PRODUCTION & DELIVERY

We offer a variety of products and services that help our customers divert landfill-bound used plastic into reusable products like resins, bags, and film. Through our Closed Loop program, companies divert what would typically be landfillbound plastic waste and recycle it through us instead.

REPROCESSING

Our exclusive, vertically-integrated manufacturing process turns the postconsumer recycled plastic into resin pellets, which in turn allows us to create high-performance polyethylene products on our blown-film lines.
