When it is time to retire a tote due to damage or just wearing down over time, we have a new purpose for them! Since they are made out of High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), we are able to take them to a recycling plant and they make them into new HDPE items. We can recycle plastic totes and have successfully created zero waste! Unlike cardboard where most of them end up in a landfill, we are doing our part in helping the environment by re-purposing plastic that already exists.
