Recycled plastic factory of englewood ca paid the school 20 cents a pound for their 5 plus tons of plastic bottle caps and the factory melted down the bottle caps to manufacture plastic lumber that has been used to retrofit 30 of the school s outdoor benches. It takes 400 pounds of plastic caps to make one bench. They are out of evansville indiana.
