Each TerraCycle Pouch is opened upon receipt and visually inspected for any non-compliant materials, then consolidated for processing in bulk.

The materials are size-reduced through shredding. 

Metals are removed through magnetized and electrostatic sortation. Sorted metals are then smelted and formed for use in secondary metals manufacturing. Plastics are sorted by density profile and composition through multi-stage air, optical, and water-based mechanical sortation systems. Sorted plastics are mixed with other plastics to make recycled plastic blends that are then used by various manufacturers to make new products.
