Blue Polymers

True plastics circularity starts at the edge of your driveway. Thanks to advanced mechanical recycling and Republic Services' nationwide curbside collection network, we're making truly sustainable polymer solutions simpler and more accessible than ever. Co-locating our facilities with Republic Services' Polymer Centers helps us focus on regional recycling. Logistically, we save both cost and carbon while giving your consumer goods a second, third, or even seventh life as the same product. An incredibly important part of our recycling solutions is you! Please stay tuned as we post about ways that your business, organization, or community can get involved in building a more sustainable plastics economy. #Sustainability #Circularity #RegionalRecycling #RecycledPlastics #RepublicServices #BluePolymers #MechanicalRecycling

Blue Polymers is expanding our product line to include recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET). Utilizing rPET flake from Republic Services’ Polymer Centers, our new Southern California facility is producing food-grade rPET pellets for use in sustainable packaging, helping brands meet minimum content requirements. Adding rPET is a natural fit with our recycled resin product line, which also includes food- and non-food-grade high density polyethylene (HDPE) and polypropylene (PP).

The promise of mechanical recycling was plastic products that could be used, collected, processed, and remade time and time again. For decades, consumers faced mixed messaging and options that stopped short of that vision. Even some industry professionals questioned if the concept of true circularity was possible. Today, we're proud to say that recycling has lived up to its potential. With regional plants co-located with Republic Services' plastics recycling facilities, cutting-edge equipment and processes, as well as a total commitment to transparency and quality, Blue Polymers is recycling reinvented. Our growing portfolio of consumer plastic goods is sourced locally, collected and transported responsibly, and turned into clean, high-performance products that offer a longer lifecycle and up to 100% post-consumer-recycled content.

The morning of June 5th marked the grand opening of the Blue Polymers plant in Indianapolis, IN. A historic step for plastics circularity two years in the making, the event brought together Ravago and Republic Services leadership for a short program of speeches, followed by a ribbon-cutting ceremony and tours of the facility. Blue Polymers is a leader and pioneer in polymer devolatilization, which removes adhesives, contaminants, and other low-molecular-weight components to achieve an unheard-of 99% material purity. Specializing in consumer-grade polymers such as detergent bottles, bins, and food and beverage containers, the new facility will enable plastic waste that would otherwise be “downcycled” into park benches or construction materials to re-enter the economy in a form identical to its original application. This fulfills the original promise of mechanical recycling, meeting growing demand for PCR resins and setting a new global industry standard. Co-located with a Republic Services polymer center – which offers unmatched feedstock quality thanks to 19 optical sorting machines (compared to the industry standard 6 or 7) – this Blue Polymers location will supply the entire Midwest region with unprecedented durable and non-durable material options, with a PCR content of 30, 55, or 100%. Three more similar facilities will open across the southwestern and northeastern United States over the next two years, each co-located with a Republic Services Polymer Center for optimal efficiency, quality, and sustainability.
