Sandhill Plastics takes pride in the fact that ALL products manufactured here are from 100% recycled HPDE material.

Whether it be from post consumer or post industrial, we do our part to make sure your product is 100% green!

There are no fillers, holes, or hollow insides, every sheet is SOLID HDPE, ranging from 1/16″ thick to 5/8″ thick.

Standard colors are black or white, however, color concentrate can be added to the white to produce many colors.

HDPE can come from bottles, milk jugs, caps, irrigation pipe, ariation pipe, shotgun shells, bags, packaging and lumber.

Do you part today and recycle in your hometown to prevent the landfill from filling up.  Who knows, maybe your recyclables will make it to our production line and you will have the chance to purchase the products we sell and complete the loop of recycling.

Let’s make a difference today!

Gift of Recycling

Published on 28 May 2010 by Sandhill in Internal News, Recycling

Over the last decade, we have seen a rise in the amount of folks looking to buy recycled products, plastic sheets included.

Sandhill Plastics does manufacture 100% recycled sheets, and although we aren’t here to “SAVE THE WORLD”, we are definitely here to do our part in helping and providing recycled materials for consumers.

The growing interest does make the cost of raw materials increase and therefor prices will be adjusted to accommodate such a trend.  Most of the interest seen for recycled goods is primarily because of cost, not to save the environment.  Some companies get a kick back in government grants for using recycled content, such as plastic containers, etc.

A lot of companies or consumers have a hard time paying premium amounts for recycled goods, when they see the BRAND NEW goods, or virgin as a better deal.  Understandable, but the product is not compromised in any way and does save the Earth while using it over a virgin material.

HDPE uses less energy and emits fewer greenhouse gas emissions, which hopefully will score some points with those concerned about it.  Plus will keep the cost somewhat down because energy cost aren’t near as high to produce product.
