FROM YOUR RECYCLE BIN INTO OUR PLASTIC CONTAINERS!
Our recycled material, including items such as milk jugs and detergent bottles, originates from all over North America. Once received, it is processed into a clean, usable flake form. We use a unique process that we have developed and improved on for over thirty years.
The flakes are then carefully screened, tested, and blended to obtain the desired quality and consistency. Carbon black color is added which provides UV protection to increase the durability and longevity of the containers.
This specially formulated blend of material is then ready to run through our machines to produce HPP “Engineered for Strength” nursery containers. Every effort is put forth to ensure the highest quality products are achieved.
We welcome comments and suggestions as we move forward with this important program. Please direct all questions and comments to Marty Thomas via e-mail address at mthomas@havilandplastics.com.
HPP LEADING THE WAY IN ENVIRONMENTAL RECYCLING
Haviland Plastics is proud to be the leader in Recycling Technology. Our facility, located in Haviland, Ohio, addresses the need to recycle HDPE #2 material. This re-cycled material is gathered from post-consumer and post-industrial feed stocks, often comprised of milk jugs, detergent bottles, shampoo bottles, and, yes, even used nursery containers. The use of recycled material creates a global green environment that both protects and preserves Mother Earth while manufacturing superior-quality nursery containers for the green industry. Our black HPP nursery containers are made of this recycled material. With our unique recycling program, we are successfully diverting over 10’s of millions of pounds of plastic waste from going to our overburdened landfills each year.
We, at Haviland Plastics, are striving to close the environmental loop in crafting our plastic containers for the Horticulture industry.
