The Great Lakes, one the largest freshwater systems in the world, is a beautiful and vast natural resource, making it a top destination for sailors and boaters. But, because of the Great Lakes region’s climate, winterizing recreational boating vessels is a must in most parts of the region, requiring millions of pounds of valuable plastic film to be used as boat wrap in order to safely protect these vessels from snow and ice damage, material that is almost universally landfilled every Spring.

Building on lessons learned in Ohio and Michigan, as well as along the East Coast, this multi-year pilot project, with its initial focus in Illinois, will bring the plastic value chain together with state government agencies, local marina partners and boaters to close the loop and create a Great Lakes circular economy for boat shrink wrap film.
