Plastipak and it’s recycling affiliate, Clean Tech, have announced their participation in the Plastic Industry Association’s (PLASTICS) latest advocacy campaign, Recycling Is Real, dedicated to illustrating and promoting how plastics are recycled – including the bottle-to-bottle recycling that happens every day at Plastipak and Clean Tech. Recycling Is Real provides content to help elected officials and policymakers understand that recycling is a vital link in the sustainability and circularity chain, enabling more well-informed decisions about recycling resources for their constituents.

The campaign features Plastipak and Clean Tech in a video that showcases how and where bottle-to-bottle recycling happens and introduces the dedicated employees who make it all possible at our facilities.

Together, Plastipak and Clean Tech are committed to sustainability, keeping plastics in the circular economy and out of the environment. Recycling plays a vital role in achieving this goal, and this video highlights how bottle-to-bottle recycling is not only real, but it’s happening every day at.

“Plastipak has been leading the way in bottle-to-bottle recycling for decades. When we started our recycling affiliate, Clean Tech, back in 1989, the goal was simple — keep plastics in the circular economy, out of landfills, and create good jobs in our communities. That’s why joining the Recycling Is Real campaign makes so much sense for us. It’s a chance to show that recycling isn’t just an idea, it’s real — and it’s happening every single day at Plastipak and Clean Tech.” – Jack Pacente, Vice President of Global Sustainability

“Plastic recycling is very real, and it happens every single day across America,” said PLASTICS’ President and CEO Matt Seaholm. “The Recycling Is Real campaign allows both the public and lawmakers to see for themselves the extraordinary role recycling plays in the circular economy, making it undeniable that recycling is not only effective but is a feasible and economical way to achieve our shared sustainability goals.”
