Our goal is to create new products from recycled material while also expanding the market for other recycled products. Learn More Commitment to the Environment We do not just talk about sustainability, we practice it in every aspect of our business. Each year we set new goals to push the limits of our sustainability with our recycled products as well as our manufacturing practices. With the installation of our new wash line, we will be able to recycle significantly more plastic while also producing a finer product. Plastics can be valuable AND sustainable. Our video above shows how our recycled products work. Sustainability Scorecard Program We help our customers reduce their carbon footprint. Petoskey Plastics is committed to sustainable materials management. Our commitment to a sustainable environment includes: helping to create sustainable products, primarily using recycled plastic as the feedstock, reducing petrochemical usage, reducing energy use and reducing the carbon footprint (greenhouse gas emissions). The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of Energy (DOE) foster environmental innovations that are consistent with Petoskey Plastics commitment. Petoskey Plastics offers innovative technology with its production of recycled LLDPE resin and the use of its recycled LLDPE resin PE films. To demonstrate commitment to sustainability and provide evidence of this accomplishment, Petoskey Plastics contracted a third party to complete a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), or cradle-to-gate analysis of their recycled LLDPE resin and the use of the recycled LLDPE resin in PE films. THE FREE SCORECARD WE PROVIDE OUR CUSTOMERS INCLUDES Plastic Film Recycled Petoskey Plastics purchases landfill-bound used plastics. We provide information on the pounds collected, returned and recycled. Plastic Bags & Film Comparison is then created between products made with recycled content vs. prime materials. With the help of our third party consultants, we can provide a direct correlation to the offsets and omission savings.

Mr. Paul Keiswetter, Chairman & CEO Our Story We first began recycling in 1978 and have never stopped thinking green. Our Greencore® closed-loop recycling program takes post-use plastic out of the waste stream and puts it back into customer products. Thanks to our unique, multi-layer manufacturing process, we're supplying our customers with high-performance polyethylene products that are good for them and good for the environment. WHAT WE DO FOR OUR CUSTOMERS AND THE ENVIRONMENT Closed Loop Programs We offer a variety of products and services that help our customers divert landfill-bound used plastic into reusable products like resins or bags and film. We pioneered closed loop recycling processes that divert and recycle landfill-bound plastic waste for use in our products. Learn More about the program here.

Greencore® Products Green bags made smarter and stronger. Greencore® Trash Bags get their strength from two layers of high-strength virgin plastic surrounding an inner core of 70% Post-Consumer Recycled Plastic. “As consumers and businesses focus more on recycling and green products, we take pleasure in gearing up to meet the growing demand.” Mr. Paul Keiswetter, CEO GreenPE® post-consumer plastic resin is made from plastic that has been recycled following its original intended use.
