According to a new study, more than 60 percent of the U.S. population has access to recycling programs for several types of plastics, including polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE) tubs and containers.
The study, “2015-16 Centralized Study on Availability of Plastic Recycling,” conducted by Resource Recycling Systems, Ann Arbor, Michigan, and Moore Recycling Associates Inc., Sonoma, California, measured the percentage of the U.S. population with access to programs that recycle specific categories of everyday plastic packaging, such as bottles, caps, cups, tubs and containers.
