The Recycled Plastic Factory is continuously seeking ways to minimize our environmental impact while improving our 100% recycled plastic products. Listed below are practices we currently have in place:
-
Raw materials used to make our 100% recycled plastic products are post-consumer and post-industrial recycled plastic waste collected in the State of Florida, which diverts waste from our landfills.
- Our non-toxic products contain no BPAs or PVCs, which can be harmful to the environment
- No greenhouse gases are produced in our manufacturing process.
- Our products are low maintenance, minimizing the use of water and chemicals needed to clean them.
- No wood fillers are used in our products, thereby not contributing to deforestation.
- Most finished products are shipped palletized, virtually eliminating the need for corrugated cardboard in our packaging.
- Raw materials are stored in containers recycled and reused from other industries.
- All of our marketing materials are printed on recycled paper and we encourage customer and vendor communication via email to minimized paper usage.
- By manufacturing 100% recycled plastic lumber and products we encourage recycling.
- Raw material overruns are re-ground and used in future products.
- Our products are recyclable
- Fluorescent lighting is used throughout our facility and properly disposed when changed.
- Recycled Plastic Factory is a member of the U.S. Green Building Council and the Florida Green Building Coalition
