What happens to Primo bottles that are recycled with PET bottles?
• If a recycling facility has the capabilities to sort and separate Primo’s bottles made with Ingeotm natural plastic, the bottles are ground into flakes that are packed according to local regulations. They are then sold to buyers of recycled Ingeotm bioplastic, such as the large-volume buy-back program instituted by NatureWorks LLC. If a recycling facility does not have the capabilities to sort, or chooses not to sort Ingeotm or other PLA plastics, then these materials potentially may be left in the PET stream to be recycled with PET bottles.
