HOW TO RECYCLE?
how to recycle the biodegradable poly mailers?
While poly mailers are technically recyclable, the reality is that most local recycling facilities in Canada aren't equipped to handle plastic films like bags and wraps. These materials can jam sorting machinery, leading to operational issues and costly shutdowns.
Proper Recycling Steps:
- Store Drop-Offs: Instead of placing poly mailers in your curbside bin, take them to designated store drop-off locations. Many major retailers and grocery stores across Canada have collection bins specifically for plastic films.
- Preparation: Before recycling, ensure your poly mailers are clean and dry. Remove any shipping labels or adhesives, as these can contaminate the recycling process.
