Clean Tech receives post consumer bottles through two primary channels – curbside recycling programs and state deposit programs.

Curbside

Municipal recycling systems collect PET and HDPE containers through single and dual-stream processes. After collection, materials are sorted and reclaimed into their base material type to be used again in new packages.

Deposit

Items collected through State Bottle Deposit Programs are returned by consumers to authorized redemption centers or reverse vending machines. These materials are then sorted, processed, and recycled into new containers.
