About Car Seat Recycling

    An estimated 12 million car seats end up in landfills annually. That is the equivalent of 2 billion plastic bottles or 2.4% of the total amount of plastic bottles produced in one year! The environmental impact alone makes car seat recycling a necessity.


    Sustainability is not our only focus. Child safety is negatively affected by the reuse of expired or damaged car seats. A car seat is subject to wear and tear just like any other product. Sometimes it is not always visible and can lead to unthinkable results when its intended purpose is put to the test. We have inspected and seen the hidden dangers of passing along a “like new” car seat. Recycling car seats keeps them out of the landfill and out of the hands of unsuspecting parents.  


    As a company, East-Terra Plastics focuss solely on plastic recycling and have extensive knowledge in this field. We are willing to accept this product in its entirety, cloth and all. We have perfected our current method of processing and are constantly searching for more efficient methods.


    We are looking to cultivate relationships with those who care as we do, whether it be a partnership, sponsorship, or anything in-between.  Flexibility is a must in a project such as this and we are willing to work together until we find the program most compatible with your needs and wants. We hope to expand this operation until neither the well being of our children or our planet are compromised by this growing problem.
