Plastic pellets are small, round granules that play a crucial role in the creation of plastic products. Produced by companies like Poly Material Services Inc., these pellets are melted, molded, and shaped into countless items we use every day—from consumer goods to industrial applications
Material Selection
We choose the best plastic materials, focusing on sustainability by using recycled plastics like HDPE and PP.
Cleaning
The selected material is crushed into flakes, washed, and cleaned to remove impurities.
Pelletizing
The clean flakes are melted and formed into uniform pellets, ensuring consistency and quality.
Shipping
The finished pellets are packed and shipped to customers, ready for production of new products.
The Recycling Process
Turning Waste into New Possibilities
Recycling is key to protecting our planet and reducing waste. Here’s how the process works, step by step, to transform plastic waste into new, useful products:
1. Collection
Plastic waste is collected from homes, businesses, and industries, ready to begin its transformation.
2. Sorting
Once collected, plastics are sorted by type, color, and composition to ensure the right materials are processed together for maximum efficiency.
3. Processing
The sorted plastics are thoroughly washed, ground into small flakes or chips, and melted to form uniform pellets—making it easier to create new products.
4. Manufacturing
These pellets are then used to manufacture new plastic items, reducing the need for new raw materials and supporting sustainable production.
Why Recycling Matters
Reduce Waste
Recycling helps keep plastic out of landfills and oceans, minimizing environmental impact.
Save Energy
It takes much less energy to recycle plastics than to create new ones from raw materials, conserving precious resources.
Conserve Resources
Recycling preserves natural resources like timber, water, and minerals that are used in making new plastics.
Protect the Environment
By recycling, we reduce greenhouse gases, slow climate change, and protect ecosystems from plastic pollution.

The Recycling Process
Turning Waste into New Possibilities
Recycling is key to protecting our planet and reducing waste. Here’s how the process works, step by step, to transform plastic waste into new, useful products:
Reduce Plastic Waste
We aim to divert more plastic waste from landfills and oceans by increasing our recycling efforts, supporting a circular economy, and promoting sustainable practices.
Conserve Energy and Resources
By recycling plastic, we save significant amounts of energy and natural resources, including reducing petroleum use by 2,000 pounds per ton of plastic recycled.
Promote Circular Manufacturing
Our goal is to create new products from recycled plastics, minimizing the need for raw materials and encouraging more sustainable production methods.
Protect the Environment
We are dedicated to reducing plastic pollution in our ecosystems, contributing to cleaner waterways and oceans, and helping preserve wildlife habitats.
