What happens to the packaging once collected?
After collection, Pact aims to find the highest and best use for the packaging material collected.
- Mechanical recycling: Upcycling packaging material into another product (e.g. packaging, carpet, pallets for warehouses) or downcycling into a lower-value item (e.g. asphalt)
- Molecular recycling: Breaking down packaging material to its most basic molecular component so that it can be used as raw material in future products (e.g. packaging or textiles)
- Waste-to-energy: Packaging that cannot be used in any other way is incinerated to generate electricity or fuel material collected by Pact never goes to the landfill.
