Is oriented polypropylene plastic recyclable?

Question

Is oriented polypropylene plastic recyclable?

Answer 1

I'm guessing you're mostly talking about this material in the film or sheet form -- which is how it is normally manufactured.

I wish there was an easy answer for this.  It does look like this material can be recycled, but that it is only being done on an industrial or commercial level -- say by those using significant amounts of OPP and thus benefiting from reusing what they have.

I found no information available on this being recycled on the community level or centers where this can be turned in for recycling.

Answer 2

Yes.
