Do you wonder what is made from the material we collect and recycle? Let us explain!

The recycling process is:

♻️ Shred bulk into smaller more manageable pieces

♻️ Clean material of contaminants

♻️ Process clean sched into flakes

♻️ Process flake into pellets

The bulk of the plastic is LLDPE, and the finished LLDPE pellets are sold to manufacturers that extrude a finished product. Recycled LLDPE pellets are usually mixed with virgin resign to create a hybrid pellet.

Then, the majority of the finished hybrid pellets are used as feedstock for landscape edging sold in stores such as Home Depot and Lowes!

Did you know that there is actually a shortage of sand in the world? Tough to comprehend for many, but as with any other overconsumption of a natural resource, we need to look for solutions.

It is one thing to say that you are recycling liner plastic and another to be able to back that up.

Using our Rundle Track App, we can trace material through the entire supply chain.

From the moment it’s collected, every pound of liner we recover is tracked by tagging each liner bundle that comes off location. We also weigh every bundle before it leaves our yard. Once weighed and recorded, it heads off to the recycling facility to be processed into clean pellets.
