How we approach it
From Identification To Recycling Route.
A clear workflow helps reduce mixing, unnecessary handling and contamination while keeping large-volume movement organized.
Separate cardboard, office paper, kraft and mixed grades where practical.
Keep recyclable fiber protected from rain and moisture.
Remove obvious plastic film, foam, metal strapping and unrelated waste.
Bale or compact larger commercial volumes when suitable.
Route recovered fiber to paper recycling channels.
BEFORE COLLECTION
Prepare The Material Safely.
