San Jose, Calif., Aims to Reduce Plastic Waste with New Facility

SEATTLE (Waste 360): The city of San Jose, Calif., is on a mission to reduce plastic waste. In fact, it’s hoping to bring a facility that would recycle single-use and “dirty plastics” to the area.

The facility they are hoping to build would be similar to PureCycle Technologies’ $120 million polypropylene recycling facility in Ironton, Ohio. And, according to a report by KPIX, the facility could reduce the amount of plastic waste entering area landfills by 88 percent.
