New Zealand is throwing millions of dollars worth of recyclable polypropylene plastic into landfill, while at the same time importing recycled polypropylene, according to a study from Plastics NZ.
Polypropylene plastic is a durable, lightweight plastic that is used to make everything from ice cream containers to car bumpers. But its greatest asset is that it can be melted down and reused.
