| PRCC sells whole, baled PET plastic bottles and containers. These bottles are from postconsumer
collection programs and are flattened by processors into bales. These bales range
in weight between 650 lbs. to 1700 lbs., with an average weight of 1200 lbs.
These bales average 85% soft drink bottles and 15% other types of PET containers. The
Other containers are all PET packages such as salad dressing, shampoo and peanut butter
containers. The color composition of the bales is approximately 70% clear and 30% green.
The green and clear containers are mixed together in each bale—not separated. | |

| A. When purchased material is ready to be shipped, PRCC will notify the buyer to arrange a booking with a cut-off date of approximately 10 days later. PRCC will deliver material Freight Aside Ship (FAS) to the port specified by the buyer usually Long Beach/San Pedro, Los Angeles, Oakland, or San Francisco. PRCC is not a freight forwarder. The processors will make their own shipping arrangements upon receipt of the booking information. PRCC will not ship material direct to China. It must ship to Hong Kong.
B. For domestic loads, PRCC will notify buyer with list of processor’s locations where material is to be picked up. Dates and times of pick-ups may be coordinated between processor and truck line. PRCC must be notified of this schedule in order to prepare the necessary release. Without this release, the processor will not load. | |
