Packaging for lotion, toothpaste, and makeup is a recycling disaster. But ReFactory, a UK-based family business, has a complex process to give it a new life. It makes plywood-like plastic boards and turns them into furniture, planters, and more.
ReFactory processes post-consumer waste from collection bins around the UK, along with recalled or expired manufacturing waste that never hit shelves. The company says the furniture cuts down on emissions compared to transporting plastic to landfill and that the boards can be recycled over and over.
But there isn't much demand for the plastic furniture, so ReFactory gives a lot of it away to schools.
