EFS Plastics
EFS Plastics is a 100% post-consumer plastic recycler that specializes in recycling mixed rigid plastics, plastic film or bags, and HDPE bottles, tubs, and lids. EFS, which stands for Environmentally Friendly Solutions, recycle these items into high-quality resins which can replace virgin plastics when purchased by manufacturers to make new products and packaging.
The company was founded in 2007 and has over 25 years of experience in post-consumer plastic recycling. EFS employs 90 staff at their two facilities, one in Hazleton, Pennsylvania and the other in Listowel, Ontario Canada. They annually divert 60 million pounds of plastic from going to the landfill.
EFS processes post consumer recycled plastic into pellets for reuse in the manufacturing of new plastic products. In particular, they produce polypropylene, polyethylene, low-density polyethylene, and high-density polyethylene pellets. These pellets come in a variety of colors and are tested to ensure they meet consumer specifications for properties such as density and strength. The pellets are purchased by manufacturers and made into new products of packaging such as storage bins, construction/building products, and everyday consumer goods.
