Most of our work to increase plastic recycling focuses on increasing access to opportunities, and helping people understand how they can help.  But that’s not the end of it.  You might not have thought much about it, but markets for recovered plastic – like any commodity – can be dynamic.  Ready access to current information is one way that we can help increase stability and market growth.  That’s what’s so exciting about the recently expanded online directory for plastics from Moore Recycling Associates.  This Website helps facilitate the recovery of scrap plastic by linking buyers and sellers of both processed and unprocessed plastic scrap.  Want to know who in your area accepts truckloads of plastic foam, film and bags, or other types of material?  The new website can tell you.  Have an idea for using recycled plastic and need to know where to find a particular type?  That’s there too.  And, it’s chock full of useful information.  Of course we’re tooting our own horn here a bit – we helped support this database, along with the Association of Postconsumer Plastic Recyclers.  Recycling is a large and diverse industry, so taking steps to make sure people are able to make the right connections is an important step.
