Plastic Recycling Business
About INTCO
Did you know that over 40% of the plastic produced around the world each year is destined for use as packaging material? That's over 140 million tonnes of plastic a year produced solely for the purpose of packaging other products.
As consumer consciousness of the climate crisis grows, businesses need to be increasingly aware of the way their choices impact on our environment. Customers want to buy from brands that align with their values, and single-use plastic packaging is becoming more and more hard to justify.
One concrete action businesses can take to improve their environmental credentials is to invest in more sustainable materials, such as recycled plastic pellets.
And the good news is, these materials aren't just good for your brand. In this post, we’ll take you through the significant benefits of recycled plastic pellets for manufacturing products such as polystyrene foam.
It is of course much better for our environment to recycle plastic that’s already in circulation than to produce it from scratch (a process that is very energy-intensive).
By using recycled plastic pellets in your manufacturing processes, you are also helping to divert tonnes of plastic from being discarded in landfill sites.
Recycled plastic pellets possess the same qualities as traditional GPPS (general purpose polystyrene) pellets, but have a lower carbon footprint. Making the change to recycled pellets can help you improve your organization’s overall sustainability, without compromising on the quality of goods you manufacture.
As well as being kinder to our environment, recycled plastic pellets are a useful and versatile material in themselves.
They can be used to directly replace GPPS materials without the loss of strength, density, or thermal insulation qualities.
Recycled plastic pellets from Intco are available in multiple colors and shapes, giving you the freedom and flexibility to customize your manufacturing process.
Recycled plastic pellets are strong and durable, meaning that products you manufacture with them will be built to last.
Using long-lasting materials is another way to lessen your impact on the environment, as they serve their purpose for as long as possible without needing to be replaced.
Whether you are manufacturing polystyrene foam or other consumer materials, recycled plastic pellets can help you to produce durable, quality products.
Using more sustainable materials doesn't have to mean increasing your manufacturing costs. Recycled plastic pellets are an affordable and effective alternative to traditional GPPS materials.
Recycled plastic pellets can be used by all kinds of businesses, no matter your size or budget.
