The Terracycle Difference

Materials are shredded and washed. Metals are sorted, smelted, and formed for use in secondary metals manufacturing. Glass is removed and used in aggregate-based products. Plastics are sorted by material type and then mixed with other plastics to make recycled plastic blends.

Materials are shredded and then cleaned to remove residual product or other contaminants. Metals are sorted, smelted, and formed for use in secondary metals manufacturing. Clean plastics are sorted by material type and then mixed with other plastics to make recycled plastic blends.

Capsules are shredded and screened. The coffee grounds are composted, and the remaining materials are cleaned. Metals are sorted, smelted, and formed for use in secondary metals manufacturing. The clean plastics are sorted by material and mixed with other plastics to make recycled plastic blends.

All materials are size-reduced through shredding. Metals are sorted, smelted, and formed for use in secondary metals manufacturing. Wood materials are shredded and mixed with other wood to make recycled wood blends. Electronics are recycled as e-waste. Plastics are cleaned, sorted, and mixed with other plastics to make recycled plastic blends. Sorted papers are pulped and used for secondary corrugated and paper manufacturing applications.

All materials are shredded. Metals are sorted, smelted, and formed for use in secondary metals manufacturing. Clean plastics are sorted by material type and then mixed with other plastics to make recycled plastic blends.

The butts are shredded and cleaned to remove contaminants. Then they are separated into tobacco, paper, and cellulose acetate filters. Tobacco and paper are dried and mixed with other organic materials to create compost. The filters are dried and turned into a powder that’s used to make plastic products.

Materials are shredded and then cleaned to remove residual product or other contaminants. Clean plastics are mixed with other plastics to make recycled plastic blends.

Materials are shredded and then cleaned to remove residual product or other contaminants. Clean plastics are mixed with other plastics to make recycled plastic blends.

Materials are shredded and then cleaned to remove residual product or other contaminants. Metals are sorted, smelted, and formed for use in secondary metals manufacturing. Clean plastics are sorted by material type and then mixed with other plastics to make recycled plastic blends.

Materials are size reduced, and the carbon filter media is sorted. Carbon is then reused as a colorant, for example. Shredded plastics are cleaned to remove residual carbon or other contaminants. Clean, sorted plastics are then mixed with other plastics to make recycled plastic blends.

Materials are shredded, pulped, and screened to remove plastics. Paper pulp is used for secondary corrugated and paper manufacturing applications. Screened plastics are mixed with other plastics to make recycled plastic blends.

All materials are shredded. Metals are sorted, smelted, and formed for use in secondary metals manufacturing. Plastics are cleaned, sorted, and mixed with other plastics to make recycled plastic blends. Sorted papers are pulped and used for secondary corrugated and paper manufacturing applications.

If necessary, waste is first quarantined. Then, all materials are shredded. Metals are sorted, smelted, and formed for use in secondary metals manufacturing. Plastics are cleaned, sorted, and mixed with other plastics to make recycled plastic blends.

Materials are shredded and then cleaned to remove residual product or other contaminants. Clean plastics are sorted by material type and then mixed with other plastics to make recycled plastic blends.

Materials are heated to remove inert gases. Then they are shredded and cleaned to remove residual product or other contaminants. The material is mixed with other plastics to make recycled plastic blends.

Natural corks are separated by density through vibratory screening and used in sheeting for floor and mat applications. Synthetic corks are size-reduced and mixed with other plastics to make recycled plastic blends.

Materials are shredded. Metals are sorted, smelted, and formed for use in secondary metals manufacturing. Plastics are sorted by material type and then mixed with other plastics to make recycled plastic blends.

All materials are shredded. Metals are sorted, smelted, and formed for use in secondary metals manufacturing. Clean, sorted plastics are mixed with other plastics to make recycled plastic blends.

When possible, cartridges are cleaned and refilled. Otherwise, they’re recycled. When recycled, the cartridges are shredded and cleaned. Clean, sorted plastics are mixed with other plastics to make recycled plastic blends.
