When we receive your Zero Waste Bag, we check it in and sort out anything that isn't accepted waste.
The wires and cords are then shredded, separated by material type, and processed.
After processing, the metals and plastics are used to make new products, including items that will benefit your local community.

Each Zero Waste Bag is opened upon receipt and visually inspected for any non-compliant materials, then consolidated for processing in bulk..
Materials are size-reduced through shredding. Metals are removed through magnetized and electrostatic sortation. Sorted metals are then smelted and formed for use in secondary metals manufacturing. Plastics are sorted by density profile and composition through multi-stage air, optical, and water-based mechanical sortation systems. Clean, sorted plastics are then blended with other plastics to make recycled plastic blends which are then used by various manufacturers to make new products.
