Industrial Plastic Recycling & Polymer Recovery

Global plastic production has doubled in the past two decades, yet only about 9% is successfully recycled. Each year, millions of tonnes of plastic enter aquatic environments — with more than 30 million tonnes already in the world’s oceans and 109 million tonnes trapped in rivers that will continue to leach into marine ecosystems for decades.

New studies show that microplastics and nanoplastics now permeate nearly every part of the environment — even passing through the human blood–brain barrier and embedding in sensitive tissue. Effective industrial plastic recycling is therefore not just a business responsibility but an urgent environmental necessity.

How Blue Planet Recycles Industrial Plastics
At Blue Planet Recycling, the repurposing of industrial scrap polymers begins with efficient pickup and transport to our facilities in Langley, Edmonton, and Calgary, where our technicians process sorted materials through specialized grinding, de-dusting, and pelletizing systems.

We can:
• Remove foreign material from resin streams
• Separate resin types (e.g., HDPE, LDPE, PP, ABS, PET, PVC)
• Isolate colors to produce uniform, high-quality regrind or pellet form

Our metal detection and filtration systems ensure a clean, consistent product ready for resale or reuse. We maintain proactive relationships with regional buyers and manufacturers, supporting the North American circular economy and reducing the need for virgin resin production.

Blue Planet processes plastics numbered 1 through 7, representing all major resin categories used in industrial applications.

Closed-Loop Manufacturing & Regional Support
Our expertise makes Blue Planet the premier choice for industrial plastic recycling in Metro Vancouver and across Western Canada. We also offer same-day pickup and delivery in Calgary, Edmonton, Seattle, Everett, and Tacoma.

Clients benefit from:
• Reduced waste-disposal costs
• Potential rebates for scrap plastics
• A certified recycling process that supports ESG reporting and zero-waste targets

By partnering with Blue Planet, manufacturers can transform production waste into a valuable resource — closing the loop between waste and new material.
