RECYCLING TERMINOLOGY:
|
#2 HDPE Recycled Polyethylene 20% Post Consumer + 80% Post Industrial 100% Recycled Plastic Sources: Plastic milk jugs, laundry detergent containers. Recycled Polystyrene 50% Post Consumer + 50% Post Industrial 100% Recycled Plastic Sources: Plastic dinnerware, styrofoam cups, plates, trays, egg cartons |
POST CONSUMER: Plastic that has
already been used as a consumer product. It is then collected,
reprocessed, and pelletized for remolding. POST INDUSTRIAL: Plastic that has been molded and has not been used in the production of a final product. For example, the plastic "skeletons" that are left over after the assembly of a model car. OFF-WHITE RECYCLED PLASTIC: Generally, post consumer plastic of various colors is lumped together by the processor. The only color that can be consistently produced is black. MORCO has once again gone the extra mile by locating sources of recycled plastic that separate plastic waste BY COLOR before processing. This allows MORCO to offer "Off-White" colored recycled plastic items. It also allows a broader range of imprint colors. MORCO recycled products are produced from polystyrene and polyethylene. |
