Where can you recycle polypropylene?
Estimates suggest that PP from recycling emits 88 percent less CO2 than producing it from scratch. The good news is that the demand for recycled PP is strong. We recommend checking with your local municipality or waste hauler for suitable polypropylene recycling programs near you. Polypropylene can be repurposed to create dishware, gardening materials, containers, bricks, storage racks, bins speed bumps etc.
