Processing Recycled Foam Schematic
Dart's CARE program

In our home state of Michigan, Dart has built a comprehensive infrastructure for recycling foam products.
•  Dart established more than 40 drop-off locations in over 30 counties.
•  Renew America, a national coalition of environmental groups, has named Dart's Michigan County Recycling Program to its Index of Success annually since 1991.
•  Dart works with hundreds of public schools, 5 state universities, and the State of Michigan to recycle all types of foam polystyrene products.
•  Dart transports the material from each drop-off location to its Michigan recycling center for reprocessing.
•  The Michigan Legislature praised Dart for its foam recycling efforts in a joint resolution passed in 1991.
