When we receive your Zero Waste Bag, we check it in and sort out anything that isn't accepted waste.
The shipping materials are then shredded, cleaned, and processed.
The recycled plastics are used to make new products, including items that will benefit your local community.

Each Zero Waste Bag is opened upon receipt and visually inspected for any non-compliant materials, then consolidated for processing in bulk.
The consolidated materials are then manually sorted into categories based on predominant material makeup and secondary stage mechanical processing requirements.
All materials are size-reduced through shredding. Metals are removed through magnetized and electrostatic sortation. Sorted metals are then smelted and formed for use in secondary metals manufacturing.
The materials are then sorted by density profile and composition through multi-stage air, optical, and water-based mechanical sortation systems. Clean, sorted plastics are mixed with other plastics to make recycled plastic blends that are then used by various manufacturers to make new products. Clean, sorted papers are pulped and used in paper-based sheeting.
