Recycler Resources
APR connects reclaimers and MRFs with the rest of the plastics recycling value chain. See how you can find buyers and sellers, support stable markets, and ensure APR® Design Guidance addresses issues you’re seeing in your facilities.
Report A Problem Container
When non-recyclable or contaminated items find their way into the recycling stream, APR wants to hear about it. Your input informs our recommendations on how to design for recyclability and helps our technical experts develop solutions to make the entire process work better. Help us clean up the recycling stream by reporting any problematic containers you encounter.
Model Bale Specifications
Developed by APR’s Technical Committees and reviewed by the MRF Sub-Committee, APR’s model bale specifications provide industry guidelines for bale quality. While individual recyclers have their own specifications, these benchmarks reflect common market practices. Understand market acceptance of contents, sizes, and other features of various post-consumer (and some post-commercial) recycled plastic bales.
Buyers & Sellers Directory
This directory connects buyers and sellers of recycled plastic commodities and resins, allowing you to search by resin, form, and material source. Explore the options available from APR members.
