Zero Waste Plastics
How do we turn plastics into products?

Where it starts
Each Zero Waste Plastic product starts with #2 or #6 plastic. This includes solo cups, laundry detergent containers, and milk jugs. We collect, and clean this plastic to keep impurities out of the process.
Clean and Cut
First, the labels are removed and then the plastic is cut into strips that will fit into our shredder. These strips are cleaned and dried.
Shredding
Plastic is shredded in one of our machines. Teeth grind the large pieces of plastic into small flecks. These pieces are small enough that we can put them into one of our melting machines.
Melting
Finally we melt the shredded plastic to turn it into our final product. Cups, earrings, coasters, and anything else you can imagine.
