Sortation
Feedstocks are the raw materials required for plastics production. These can be fossil or bio-sourced, or made with recycled content.
Pathway to a Circular Economy
The conversion or processing of plastic materials, from compounding to finished product.
The use of plastic products has been shown to have lower environmental footprints compared to other materials.
The majority of plastics collected for recycling come from curbside recycling.
Sortation at recycling facilities is key to unlocking the value of recycled materials.

Organic recycling encompasses a few different processes, such as composting and anaerobic digestion, to treat organics, including bioplastics, at their end of life.
Advanced recycling is a process that encompasses any compositional transformation technology to convert plastics into a purified form or feedstock that can then be used in the production of new polymers.
