Miscellaneous Plastics (polycarbonate, polyctide, acrylic, acrylonitrile butadiene, styrene, fiberglass, and nylon) can be repurposed to make plastic lumber (which is often used in outdoor decks, molding, and park benches. 
Companies like NOVA Chemicals and Merlin Plastics are finding innovative ways to build the supply of high-quality post-consumer recyclate that can be transformed into new products.
