Why Are We Still Shipping Plastic Overseas?
For years, the U.S. plastic recycling system depended heavily on overseas markets—especially China. But in 2018, China’s National Sword policy effectively banned the import of most plastic waste. This exposed a hard truth: the U.S. had built a fragile, unsustainable recycling model.
As companies scramble to respond, many are now asking: Is there a better way to recycle plastic that keeps jobs and profits in the U.S.?
At Greenpath Enterprises, we’ve always believed the answer is yes.
A Different Path: Greenpath Enterprises
Unlike many recyclers that relied on overseas shipping, Greenpath Enterprises has been processing and recycling plastic here in the U.S. for more than 25 years. Long before “Made in America” became a rallying cry again, we were living it—reclaiming, reprocessing, and repurposing plastic waste domestically.
No shortcuts. No outsourcing. Just proven, closed-loop recycling.
