Abstract

Graham Packaging Co of York, PA, uses post-consumer reclaimed high polyester polyethylene materials for producing blow molded plastic bottles. The company is considered as the biggest vertically integrated, bottle-to-bottle recycler in the US. It also employs a well-engineered recycling assembly line that grinds, cleans and pelletizes dirty bottles effectively. This system does not only increases output but also reduces costs and improves quality.
