Keys to Plastics Industry and why Recycle Plastics
1. Resin is typically two-thirds the cost of plastic products (depending on the product this may
range anywhere from 50-75%)
2. In general, most of GLC’s injection molded products are made from Polypropylene (PP). PP is
a derivative of either crude oil or natural gas.
Crude Oil/Natural gas Propylene Monomer Polypropylene
3. Our two main environmental goals include:
(i) sustainability – when we recycle plastics we prevent the further extraction of crude oil or
natural gas.
(ii) keep our land clean – when we recycle we divert waste from entering the landfills
4. Extreme volatility in the resin market (also see next two slides)- through using recycled
content in our manufacturing process, we are able to achieve much better price stability
which allows us to confidently quote retailers and develop new programs.
