The plastic in large water cooler bottles (polycarbonate, recycling #7) is typically one of the most difficult plastics to recycle. Only a fraction of recycling facilities are able to recycle it, so most polycarbonates end up in landfills, bundled and stored, waiting for a recycler that will do something with them or eventually be incinerated.

We wanted to put this material to use.

Our recycled polycarbonate retains the same strength and durability as virgin polycarbonate and is free of Bisphenol-A (BPA) for a reliable responsibly sourced solution. For every tonne of Flascheguard material produced, almost a tonne of CO2 emissions is prevented and end-of-life plastic is kept out of landfills or incinerators.
