Plastic production and plastic waste in landfills emit greenhouse gases, and plastic trash in the ocean limits the oceans and its microscopic organisms’ ability to absorb carbon. Thus the importance of recycling plastic: into another plastic container, or to fabric (like polyester and nylon), or to furniture (like chairs and benches), or to construction materials (like bricks or asphalt mixture), or it can also be processed back into fuel. If recycling is part of the solution, then there are a few questions: How will the plastic trash be collected? Companies purchase plastic credits from PCEx; PCEx mobilizes its network of plastic collectors and delivers compressed or balled plastic to its accredited processing plants for recycling. This network provides a workable, strategic approach to segregating waste, and efficient transportation of plastic waste to PCEx’s partner processing facilities.
