3 Reasons Why Plastics are a Valuable Commodity
By partnering with Midland Davis to recycle your plastics graded #1 through #7, you can take advantage of this attractive market for your plastic waste, by-products or outdated materials. You may also significantly reduce your landfill charges, as each ton of plastic consumes, on average, about 30-cu. yards per ton of landfill space.
Saves Energy
It takes 88 percent less energy to make new products from recycled material compared to using raw materials.
Supply and Demand
There’s the law of supply and demand. Americans only recycle about 25 percent of domestically-produced plastics.
Conserves Resources
Importantly, each ton of new plastic made from recycled plastic, saves nearly 700 barrels of oil when compared to using only raw materials.
Aluminum and Non-Ferrous Materials
Since the onset of the 21st century, the demand for high-quality aluminum and other non-ferrous metals has grown exponentially. Again, energy costs have been the primary driver, as it takes 95 percent less energy to recycle an aluminum can then it does to create one from raw materials. The savings in fresh water are nearly as impressive.
In response, Midland Davis has developed an active collection program, reimbursing both companies and individuals – in cash, if you choose – for aluminum cans delivered to our facilities in Moline, IL. Prices are competitive, and adjusted perodically, based on market prices. In addition, Midland Davis is pleased to purchase all scrap aluminum. Good source material includes:
- Doorframes
- Siding doors
- Extrusions
- Radiators
- Pans
- Lawn furniture
Industrial business managers with significant volumes of aluminum and non-ferrous scrap will want to consult with Midland’s experts to devise the most profitable and convenient pick-up or delivery program.
