Plastic film is the thin, flexible plastic that pops up everywhere - from plastic shopping bags to bubble wrap to dry cleaning bags.
Styrofoam is inexpensive and keeps certain things safe or cool in transport, so it often shows up unannounced in packages.
We partner with specialty recyclers who turn these hard-to-recycle items into things like composite decking and picture frames!
