Solving Plastic Pollution
Through Infinitely Renewed
Plastics
What if all plastics were recycled? Today, less than 10% are. The other 90% are mismanaged, buried in landfills, sent to incinerators, or even worse, end up in our environment as litter, polluting our land, rivers, and oceans. But imagine if all
plastics could be recycled. At Alterra, we convert plastics back into their original building blocks to produce new plastics and other valuable products. We’re
disrupting the traditional thinking that hard-to-recycle plastics should be
discarded and helping people see that plastics are valuable and designed to
become new again. That’s Alterra — Solving Plastic Pollution Through Infinitely Renewed Plastics™.

Join the Movement
Help Reverse the Course of Plastic Pollution
The movement to recycle more of the world’s discarded plastic and
turn it into an infinite resource is real. It’s happening with consumers
who are demanding new products be made with renewed plastic. It’s
happening with manufacturers who are seeking new ways to turn
plastic into a renewable resource that meets sustainability goals,
minimizing reliance on fossil fuels for plastic production
