Our Mission

To steward environmental transformation by revolutionizing responsible recycling options for plastic wrap materials at the pre-consumer level.

THE PROBLEM

Unrecycled Soft Plastic 

Most retailers receive items wrapped in plastic or packaged with bubble wrap, which are removed before being placed on display. This plastic usually ends up in landfills, although it can actually be recycled through special recycling programs.

Why is it such a problem?

Simply put, there's hasn't been an accessible pipeline to recycle it correctly.

Why can't it go in a standard recycling bin?

Unfortunately, because soft plastic has a tendency to tangle in machinery, most Materials Recovery Facilities (MRFs), or the recycling centers that collect from blue recycling bins, are not equipped to recycle it - so it ends up in landfills.

THE SOLUTION

Responsible collection

Retail recycling with Plastic Beach is an easy, hassle-free approach to getting plastic film material recycled and supporting corporate sustainability programs.

“I’m beyond excited working with Plastic Beach because I know that the plastic waste we collect is actually going to be recycled and the loop will be closed. It is imperative to take the steps to ensure a beautiful future for my son.”
