Recycling and Reusing Plastic at Blackmore

Blackmore Recycling Program

When tackling the challenge of recycling plastic, Scott Blackmore, third generation owner, knew he needed to create a channel for customers to recycle their trays, however, to make it financially sustainable, he also needed to devise a way to reuse that plastic and reduce the amount of virgin plastic they used. He was successful. Today Blackmore recycles used trays from participating customers and reuses them in their manufacturing processes. Combining this post-consumer plastic with other post-industrial recycled plastics, their trays are now composed of up to 90% recycled plastics.
