Garbage Bags From Wild Plastic

Giving Polluting Plastic A Second Life

Wild plastic refers to plastic found outside the recycling system, often in illegal dumps, nature, or on streets. LDPE, mostly used in film applications, disperses easily and contributes significantly to environmental pollution, making it a priority for WILDPLASTIC to collect. LDPE presents challenges due to contamination and lower-quality output after recycling, limiting its reuse. The company seeks to give LDPE a second life by transforming it into new products to reduce its environmental impact.

WILDPLASTIC partners with organizations in the global south to source and collect wild plastic. Sorted plastic is shredded, washed, and granulated, then processed into products like their WILDBAG trash bags. They ensures the recycled plastic is reused in countries with waste management systems, such as Germany. WILDPLASTIC prioritizes both social and environmental impact in regions where their partner collectors operate. They carefully vet potential partners through their Cooperation Requirements, partnering only with those who ensure better working conditions and stable payments for waste collectors. This rigorous selection process is aimed to help WILDPLASTIC build strong, responsible partnerships.

The recycled plastic meets quality standards for applications like mailing and trash bags. Currently, WILDPLASTIC collaborates with companies like OTTO and seeks more partners to extend the positive impact of wild plastic recovery.
