Circular Contract by Close the Loop
The Circular Contract is essential for soft plastic recycling effectiveness
A solution for the complex soft plastic waste stream that we call the ‘Mongrel Mix’
The Circular Contract will provide clear guidelines and coordination, ensuring the recycling process is smooth and effective.
Avoiding the lack of end markets for recycled content products
The Circular Contract breaks this deadlock by establishing commitments in a closed loop system, stimulating demand for recycled products.
How the Circular Contract works
When a party wants to have their soft plastic recycled, they agree to adhere to the structured guidelines outlined in our contract. These guidelines are crafted to ensure a seamless and effective recycling process.
1. Education and Training
CtL provides comprehensive training to supply chain partners about permissible plastic types. For instance, certain items like PVC pool toys are explicitly restricted.
2. Baling to CtL Specifications
Soft plastic is baled according to CtL specifications, adhering to predefined standards for size, type of strapping, and other essential criteria.
3. Coordinated Freight Management
CtL takes charge of coordinating freight logistics, eliminating uncertainties and ensuring no unknown arrivals. This streamlined approach enhances efficiency throughout the transportation process.
4. Service Commitment
Companies using Close the Loop services will commit to the service terms outlined in support of the recycling process.
5. Equivalent Amount Product Buy-Back
A crucial aspect of the Circular Contract involves the buy back of an equivalent amount of recyled product, such as our TonerPlas® or rFlex®.
