We operate our own recycling and reclaiming facility. With capacity to recycle 20,000 tons of PET plastic per year, it allows us to move closer to a full circle manufacturing process.
We’ve built personal relationships with North American MRFs (material recovery facilities) to source bales of post-consumer recycled PET bottles and mixed PET thermoformed containers. Our customers’ packaging is not garbage, but a valuable infinite resource. We want our packaging back!
At DPR we sort, wash, flake and clean the material again, so it is ready to be turned into yet another new package at one of our manufacturing sites. Using post-consumer recycled PET considerably reduces the carbon footprint of our products. Watch our DPR ambassadors explain the process.
