Rigid plastic rings.
Rigid plastic rings make it easier to transport your favorite beverages, but what do you do with them once you've reached your destination? Because of their size and shape, they aren't accepted in most curbside recycling bins.
That's where Ridwell comes in! We'll collect your rigid plastic rings and connect them with partners who can recycle them into new items.
Partnering with Merlin Plastics
Merlin Plastics, a circular economy-focused plastic recycler servicing the U.S. and Canada, gives used plastic a new life, providing an alternative to virgin resin to be used by plastic manufacturers. Used plastics, like your plastic items collected by Ridwell, are shredded, washed, and pelletized into a post-consumer resin (PCR) at Merlin. Ultimately, PCR is used to make various commercial and industrial products like nursery planting pots, piping, and more. Merlin is committed to circularizing discarded packaging in an environmentally sound, economically efficient, and socially responsible fashion.
