The ecomaine single-sort recycling facility is the largest in Maine, and was the first one, back in 2006. We recycle fiber materials (paper, paperboard, corrugated cardboard, newsprint), #1-7 rigid plastic containers, metal (tin, aluminum, steel), and glass. ecomaine processes around 40,000 tons of single-sort material every year.
ecomaine uses a mix of mechanical, optical, and manual methods of sorting out Maine’s recyclable materials.
