Choose the right perspective
Match the person's material to your own, since buying recycled PET resin, post-consumer bales and recycled paper fiber involve different suppliers, specifications and price drivers. Also consider whether you need the view of a brand that buys finished recycled resin or of a converter or recycler that buys collected waste material upstream.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How do you find and qualify suppliers of recycled content that can meet your quality and volume needs?
- 02How do you handle the price gap and price swings between recycled and virgin material?
- 03What contract terms or supplier partnerships help secure recycled supply when demand is high?
