Delterra's Work in Plastics
Addressing the vicious cycle of Supply and Demand
Delterra works across two programmatic areas that can be mapped back to Supply and Demand.
Our supply-focused programs works with communities (households, businesses) and municipalities (collectors and sorters) to develop self-sustaining recycling systems that maximize the quality and quantity of the recyclable waste supply.
Our demand-focused programs work with industry (aggregators, transporters, recyclers, processors, end buyers) to develop and deploy logistical, financial, technical, digital innovations to ensure regional markets can reliably absorb high quality recycled material at a viable price point.

A new market for flexible plastics
In Argentina, 20-40% of plastics arriving at material recovery facilities (MRFs) are sent to landfills, exacerbating environmental, social and economic issues.
To address this challenge, Delterra designed and delivered a series of strategic interventions across the value chain. Learn more in this short video.
