CONFER PRODUCTS CAN BE RECYCLED



A few times a year we are asked if our products can be recycled.

The material used in our products is high density polyethylene (falling under the number "2" recycling logo) and the compounds used to color them are free of heavy metals, ensuring their recyclability if you planned to dispose of your product. We hope you don’t: Confer Plastics does not manufacture commodity or disposable items. We manufacture only durable goods of the highest integrity. Unlike many products on the marketplace, all of our goods are manufactured with long-term UV additives which ensure they do not fade or become brittle because of the sun’s rays. We don’t want our products in a dump because of poor quality. We want them – and expect them – to last a lifetime.

But, we understand that some parts may require disposal -- such as when you convert one of our a-frame swimming pool ladders into a deck ladder. When you do make that conversion, if your local municipality has a recycling program in their waste management systems, they will take the leftover parts.
