Info & Insights
The plastic resins most often used to make these flexible foamed “expanded” plastics are polyurethane (PU), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and polyethylene (PE).
These are plastics similar to expanded polystyrene (styrofoam) except they tend to be more pliable and dense and therefore popular as packaging material and for crafting.
Like other foam plastics, while some may be technically recyclable under the right conditions, these are generally not recycled and are not welcome in the blue bins.
