Maine Plastics, "OFFICIAL RECYCLER" NPE 2000
All of us here at Maine Plastics are getting fired up for the National Plastics Expo at McCormick Place in Chicago, June 19-23.
We're especially proud that Maine Plastics has been selected as the Official Recycler of NPE 2000. If you are generating plastic scrap at the show, we'll be collecting, sorting, and processing it as part of the "Recycle NPE" program.
If you'd like to spend more than a few minutes with any of the Maine Plastics staff during the week (in the evenings or during breaks), please call us now to set up a time to meet informally. We look forward to showing you the town!
We'll be waiting for you at Booth #9239 in June in Chicago!
