Why not just drop my soft plastics off at the grocery-store recycling bin?Updated 11 days ago

Grocery-store drop-offs are convenient, but they come with two big limitations. First, they only accept one narrow category of plastic (clean grocery bags and LDPE film), so most soft plastics — multilayer wrappers, food pouches, bubble mailers — aren't accepted. Second, even what is collected often isn't actually recycled: a large share is landfilled or burned because of contamination and a lack of traceability.

Clear Drop is built for people who want certainty: the SPC compacts a much wider range of soft plastics into one clean, traceable block that goes through a verified U.S. recycling pathway (for example, Frankfort Plastics Inc. in Indiana), so you know exactly where the material ends up.
