Who else recycles foam?
PC Plastics is the only post-consumer foam recycler in the Pacific Northwest. Other recyclers take it, but because they are not manufacturers, they simply bale it and send it overseas companies where cheap labor is used to pick it clean. Then they put it through the same process we at PC Plastics do. Ironically, PC Plastics has to pay more than these overseas companies in order to keep it in the local community. But to us, it represents a re-usable resource that is right under our noses. The alternative is to keep extracting this resource from oil, which we find unsavory, given the solution offered by PC Plastics.
