Where does my recycling go?

Flexible packaging is shipped to a processor in Greater Vancouver – Merlin Plastics. This processor also handles materials from the RecycleBC EPR program. Merlin Plastics is conducting a research and development project to determine how to best recycle flexible packaging. Any material that is unable to be recycled will be used to produce engineered fuels.
