Isn't only ~5% of plastic actually recyclable? Is soft plastic even recyclable at all?Updated 8 days ago

It's true that the overall numbers are sobering — only about 5% of plastic gets recycled, and soft/flexible plastics are the hardest of all, because curbside programs and most drop-offs simply can't process them, so they end up in landfill. That's exactly the gap the SPC is built to close.

By compacting soft plastics into clean, dense, contamination-free blocks and routing them straight to specialized U.S. recyclers who can handle flexible film, we make recycling possible for material that would otherwise be thrown away. The blocks become real feedstock for new products, rather than being collected and quietly discarded. We focus on high-quality compaction precisely so your soft plastics get a genuine second life.
