Can film be recycled?
All film can be recycled and should be recycled. Chemicals in the film can seep into the ground and contaminate the soil, so it’s important to keep them out of landfills. By recycling your film, you can help reduce the amount of waste in our planet’s landfills. It also saves energy and reduces greenhouse gas emissions from manufacturing new film materials.
This includes the cellulose nitrate base used in early silent movies, as well as more modern cellulose acetate and polyester-based films.
How is old film recycled?
Old films are recycled by separating the plastic from other chemicals and materials that may be contained within the film. The plastic is then melted down and re-used to make new film materials or other products like plastic bags and packaging.
