PP (#5)
Recycling

PP (Polypropylene, resin code #5) is a versatile plastic used for yogurt containers, bottle caps, automotive parts, industrial totes, supersacks, and plastic pallets. PP has a higher melting point than PE, making it suitable for hot-fill applications and microwave-safe containers.

Recycling Process

1

Collection

PP collected and sorted by color and form. Post-industrial scrap (clean, single-resin) commands premium pricing.

2

Grinding

Bulky items (pallets, totes) ground into regrind. Small items baled.

3

Washing

Post-consumer PP washed to remove food residue and labels. Post-industrial typically needs minimal cleaning.

4

Pelletizing

Clean PP regrind compounded into pellets for injection molding and extrusion. Often blended with virgin for consistent properties.
