Recycling is Real: See for Yourself

Thank you for selecting Recycling is Real as a PLASTICS Industry Association initiative you want to follow. There are many anti-plastics activists who would have you believe that plastics recycling is a myth. Recycling is Real is dedicated to the message that plastics recycling is happening every day, nationwide. We’ll be bringing you the latest updates on our video campaign to show how recycling happens, where it happens, and introduce the people who make it happen.
