Recycling at Indepak

Environmental Responsibility

Since our early days we have maintained a strong, proactive environmental stance, exemplified by our ongoing recycling efforts in which all possible scrap is recycled.  All rigid plastic left over from the forming operation is processed at our plant into clean, uncontaminated regrind, which is then sold to others for use in making recycled material.  Because of our extensive regrind program, hundreds of tons of plastics avoid landfills every year. (When you choose to use qualified recycled materials, we can mold the recycle symbol right into your products.)

We are especially proud of the Gresham Environmental Achievement Award for implementing a system to recycle our mold-cooling water.  This reduced our  annual water consumption  by many millions of gallons.   For further information about these and other environmental and conservation measures, request a copy of our
Environmental Responsibility Report.

Care is taken to ensure that reground material is kept perfectly clean.
