Closed-loop recycling re-uses recovered materials to manufacture new, 100% post-consumer recycled products.

For example this means turning plastic bottles into new plastic bottles, old aluminum cans into new aluminum cans, or old glass bottles into new glass bottles.

Closed-loop recycling is ideal because there is already a market for the recycled product and the benefits include:

1. Lower cost, raw materials which reduce product prices.
2. Companies gaining recognition for their recycling efforts with consumers, the community and investors.
3. Ensuring future demand for recycled materials.

At Greyhound, this holistic approach enables our customers to realise financial and strategic rewards.  For example: 

1. Greyhound collects disposable plastic packaging such as plastic bags and films.
2. Converts them into recycle-grade resins.
3. Sells those resins to product manufacturers to produce durable plastic products.

Closed-loop recycling is an innovative concept and it can be implemented into various industries and companies across a broad spectrum.
