1. Sort & Ship
Containers are sorted manually into bags by type then shipped to reprocessing plants where they begin the recycling process.

2. Wash
An intense wash process cleans the containers, removing labels & contaminates. Metal containers are melted down.

3. Recycle
In the case of plastic after cleaning is complete, the containers go through a process that shreds the plastic into tiny pieces. They heat the plastic pieces and then press them into tiny pellets.

4. Reuse
Manufacturers use the recycled materials to make new products like bottles, liquid containers, packaging and more.
