STEP TWO: SORTING, SEGREGATION AND INSPECTION

Upon arrival at the plant, all trays are sorted by type and then segregated based on their condition. Trays with major defects (visibly warped, cracked, chipped, broken, etc.) are segregated to be ground and recycled as regrind and recompounded materials for use in the manufacture of new plastic products. Potentially re-usable trays are further sorted by package and manufacturer, and are then individually inspected against the same specs and quality standards as new trays.
