We're 100 years behind the times. We can all make a difference (Even the twist tie that we used on this package is certified as completely biodegradable)! Plastic bags are recycled into many different products. Most plastic bags are recycled into composite decking but can also be reprocessed into post consumer resin which can be recycled into a variety of products such as new bags, pallets, containers and crates.
