Plastic Recycling Solutions for Lawn, Garden & Outdoor Product Manufacturers

Introduction: Plastics in Lawn, Garden & Outdoor Products

The lawn, garden, and outdoor products industry depends heavily on plastics. From HDPE buckets and planters to polypropylene garden tools, HMW storage bins, and PVC piping, plastics make products durable, lightweight, and affordable. But just as production lines create high-quality goods, they also generate scrap plastic—including purge, runners, off-spec parts, broken containers, and excess packaging film.

Without a structured recycling solution, manufacturers often face growing scrap piles, rising disposal costs, and wasted floor space. At Seraphim Plastics, we partner with lawn, garden, and outdoor product manufacturers and distributors across the Southeast to recycle bulk post-industrial plastics. Our streamlined process helps facilities recover revenue, reduce landfill costs, and operate more efficiently.

The Challenge: Scrap Plastics in Outdoor Product Manufacturing

Outdoor product manufacturers deal with a variety of scrap plastics, including:

  • Defective or Off-Spec Products: Planters, buckets, watering cans, or storage items that don’t meet standards.

  • Purge & Runners: Byproducts from molding and extrusion processes.

  • Packaging Scrap: LDPE shrink wrap, stretch film, and strapping from distribution.

  • Broken Containers & Pallets: Damaged bins, totes, and crates used in supply chains.

  • Regrind Overflow: Excess ground plastic that can’t be reused on-site.

Challenges include:

  • Rising Disposal Fees – Landfill costs continue to climb.

  • Storage Strain – Scrap takes up warehouse or yard space.

  • Lost Revenue – Recyclable plastics are discarded instead of monetized.

Seraphim Plastics helps manufacturers turn these challenges into opportunities for savings and sustainability.
