We Proudly Partner with Recircle
to Recycle and Reuse.

AMERISAN believes that recycling plastic is our environmental responsibility.

Recycle
and Reuse

Many of the products AMERISAN distributes are made from polypropylene, polyethylene, and other forms of plastic. This includes PPE such as single use masks, disposable aprons/gowns, hair/beard covers, can liners and color coded tools. These plastic based products are nondegradable, and can take as long as 450 years to breakdown into microplastic. Disposing of plastic along with other mainstream garbage is not eco-friendly. Since PPE does not decompose, it ends up in our oceans and landfills causing damage to wild-life and our lives.

Incineration, sometimes known as waste to energy does keep plastic out of landfills but it creates the most CO2 emissions among plastic waste management method. Plastic incineration is the primary source of GHG emissions from plastic waste management, even after considering the electricity that can be generated during the process.

AMERISAN believes the responsible and environmentally right way to dispose of plastic is to recycle and reuse what was once deemed waste.

Our customers asked us to help them to responsibly dispose and recycle their plastic based waste.

Proud
Partners

AMERISAN proudly partners with the recycling group Recircle to recycle and reuse plastic based PPE and other hard to recycle plastic. Recircle brings together industry leading polymers scientists, recycling professionals and manufacturers to help our customers recycle plastic waste.

Recircle’s recycling program takes what was once ocean or landfill bound plastic and recycles it into other non-food grade products that can be used in other parts of your business, such as plastic pallets, buckets, and storage bins. Recircle’s program makes it simple for companies to join the cause.
