Why Choose Target Recycling?

PET is one of the most recoverable plastics in the world and one of the easiest to grade down. Colour contamination, mixed resin, and residual product cut recovery value and muddy the diversion numbers you report upward. We have run post-industrial programs for 27 years for operations including Nestlé Canada, Ford, and Apotex, and we can tell you before the first pickup what your PET grades at, site by site.

PET scrap we take from your plants

Post-industrial PET in the formats your lines already produce: bottle and preform reject, thermoformed tray and clamshell offcuts, sheet skeleton and edge trim, strapping, and purge. Baled, in gaylords, in super sacks, or loose on skids. Single plants and multi-plant networks run on the same program, with the same specs and the same reporting at every location.

Diversion you can report, value you can bank

Clean, sorted, single-colour PET recovers better than any stream we handle, and it earns a rebate rather than a tipping fee. For most of our clients the bigger number is the diversion rate: every load carries documented weights and a documented destination, so the tonnage you divert stands up in an ESG disclosure or a corporate landfill-free audit instead of being an estimate you have to caveat.

Sorting PET so it grades higher, at every site

Three things move PET recovery more than anything else: separating colour from clear, keeping PVC out entirely, and controlling moisture and product residue. Changes at the line, a second gaylord for clear, a labelled bin for coloured, catching PVC before the baler, routinely lift a load a full grade. We walk the floor, document what we find, and roll the same standard out across your other locations so specs do not drift from plant to plant.

One PET program across every plant

Multi-site manufacturers rarely have a recycling problem. They have a consistency problem: different vendors at different plants, different specs, different paperwork, and a corporate diversion number nobody can reconcile at year end. We run one PET program across your Ontario locations, with a single point of contact and consistent specs and reporting, so the number reaching head office is built the same way at every site. Adding a location is a scheduling change, not a new procurement cycle.

Compliance, audit support, and reporting your teams can file

Every PET program runs under our ISO:14001-certified system, with documented weights, diversion reporting, and destination on every load. Your sustainability team gets numbers backed by paper for ESG and corporate disclosure. Your EHS team gets what it needs for O. Reg. 102/94 waste audits. Branded or recalled PET routes through certified secured destruction with a certificate of destruction on every job, and we are registered under the Government of Canada Controlled Goods Program.

Built to clear your procurement process

We are used to being onboarded properly rather than informally. We operate under an ISO:14001-certified system, are registered under the Government of Canada Controlled Goods Program, and work to a signed service agreement, with the documentation behind our diversion reporting available to your compliance team. Tell us what your supplier qualification process requires, from insurance certificates to safety documentation, and we will work through it early rather than holding up your sourcing calendar.

On-site logistics that fit your operation

Gaylords, super sacks, compactors, or bins, placed where your lines actually produce scrap, with scheduled pickups that match your production cadence. One vendor, one point of contact, one audit trail. Explore plastic recycling in Toronto, Mississauga, or Hamilton.

Contact Us

Can you run one PET program across multiple plants?

Yes, and it is how our larger clients run. One program, one point of contact, and consistent specs and reporting across every Ontario location, so your corporate diversion number is built the same way at each site. Adding a plant is a scheduling change rather than a new sourcing exercise.

What kinds of PET scrap do you accept?

Bottles and preforms, thermoformed trays and clamshells, sheet skeleton and edge trim, strapping, and purge. We take it baled, in gaylords, in super sacks, or loose on skids, in whatever format your lines already produce.

What reporting do we get for ESG and diversion targets?

Documented weights, diversion figures, and destination on every load, with consistent reporting across your sites. It is built to support ESG and corporate sustainability disclosure and an O. Reg. 102/94 waste audit without reconstruction work at year end.

What do you provide for vendor qualification and procurement?

Our ISO:14001 certification, Controlled Goods Program registration, a signed service agreement, and the documentation behind our diversion reporting. Send over your vendor qualification checklist early, insurance certificates and safety documentation included, and we will work through it without holding up your sourcing calendar.

How is our PET valued, and do you pay rebates?

Yes. Clean, sorted PET earns a rebate rather than a tipping fee. Clear grades above coloured and single-resin above commingled. We quote on your actual material after an on-site assessment rather than off a generic price list, and we pay on documented weights.
