Our Commitment to Recycling and Sustainability

At Resco Plastics, our dedication to sustainability is at the core of our operations. We proudly manufacture MAXiTUF plastic lumber using 100% recycled HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene), sourced mainly from post-consumer waste in the Pacific Northwest. Our strict use of pure HDPE ensures that every product can be fully recycled after use, not just into more plastic lumber, but into a variety of other products.

This focus on maintaining purity maximizes recyclability, which is essential in supporting the circular economy. By transforming waste materials into durable, high-quality products, we’re actively reducing plastic pollution and minimizing our environmental footprint. When post-consumer HDPE isn’t available in sufficient quantities, we supplement with post-industrial sources, ensuring we stay true to our commitment of using 100% recycled materials.

Why Pure HDPE Matters

We intentionally avoid mixing different types of resins, choosing instead to rely on pure HDPE. This ensures consistency in product performance, and more importantly, it simplifies the recycling process at the end of our products’ lifecycle. Pure HDPE can easily be recycled into new forms, not just lumber, making it one of the most sustainable plastic options available.

Choosing pure HDPE also means our products are durable, moisture-resistant, and built to last in challenging environments, such as in artificial turf installations, decking, and beyond.

Local Sourcing for a Reduced Carbon Footprint

Sourcing our recycled HDPE from the Pacific Northwest allows us to reduce the transportation emissions tied to our supply chain. This localization further reduces our carbon footprint, reinforcing our role as a responsible manufacturer focused on minimizing environmental impact. It also helps support local recycling programs, contributing to regional sustainability initiatives.

Supporting the Circular Economy

At Resco Plastics, we believe in a future where materials are continuously repurposed instead of discarded. Our commitment to 100% recycled HDPE and keeping our products within the circular economy aligns with this vision. By focusing on long-lasting, recyclable products, we help reduce the demand for virgin plastic and decrease the environmental impact of discarded waste.

Looking Ahead

We’re always looking for ways to push our sustainability efforts further. As we grow, we continue to explore new technologies and methods to improve our recycling processes, reduce energy consumption, and create products that exceed both performance and environmental expectations. Our focus on pure HDPE ensures that we’ll keep delivering sustainable solutions to meet the needs of our customers and the planet.

Conclusion

At Resco Plastics, our unwavering commitment to 100% recycled HDPE and the use of pure HDPE resins makes us a leader in both sustainability and product durability. By avoiding mixed resins and focusing on recyclable materials, we ensure that our products, such as MAXiTUF, can be reintroduced into the economy in new forms after their useful life. Choosing Resco Plastics means choosing a product that supports a healthier planet and a sustainable future.
