Recycled Plastic PotsProtect Our Planet,
Protect Our Industry…
Be Part of Our Recycling Program

When companies do their part, it protects not only the environment, but our industry too. And the Myers Industries Lawn & Garden Group has been ahead of the curve for years, working with growers to reduce the plastics waste stream.

Since 1983, we have invested in technology to reprocess both post-consumer and post-industrial plastics into new containers. Our in-house reprocessing operations recycle more than 100 million pounds of plastic annually, a capability unlike any other manufacturer in our business!


By maintaining strict quality control, we create durable, high quality products while reducing waste and protecting the environment.

Benefits of Recycling in Our Industry:
When we recycle more than 100 million pounds of plastic, each year we…
  • Keep plastic containers and waste out of ~1.4 million cubic yards of landfill space
  • Save more than 68.0 million gallons of gas
  • Save ~262.0 million KW Hours of energy
  • Reduce oil usage by nearly 740,000 barrels
  • Create a more eco-friendly, sustainable manufacturing process in our industry
  • Achieve a closed-loop supply chain for growers and retailers to recycle used containers into new containers
