Creating a Circular Economy - Recycling Process
ADS is one of the largest plastics recyclers in North America. We recycle over half a billion pounds of plastic made of everyday household items like shampoo and laundry detergent bottles, medicine bottles, bottle caps and even carpet. This recycled plastic is then used in our highly engineered products that go underground for decades.
How Our Process Works
From curbside recycling to high-performance thermoplastic pipe and chambers, we’re extending the lifecycle of plastic. Whether it’s on the side of the highway, under your neighborhood grocery store’s parking lot, beneath the cornfield or right in your backyard, we’re using sustainably sourced recycled plastic in products everywhere.
Step 1
HDPE & PP plastic scrap is collected, baled and delivered to an ADS Recycling facility.
Step 2
Plastic is sorted, ground into flake and washed for clean production.
Step 3
Recycled content and flakes are blended and extruded into pellets.
Step 4
Recycled HDPE is used in N-12® & Mega Green® pipe and PP is used in chambers.
