LOCAL Closer Look: Plastic Beach (Encinitas, CA)

Posted on Sunday, August 31, 2025 by Jeanice Lee

Jeanice Lee talks with Matthew Clough, Founder/Executive Director of Plastic Beach. Soft plastic such as plastic bags, clothing wrap from dry cleaning, bubble wrap etc. often ends up in our landfill and takes years to breakdown affecting our environment. Plastic Beach is changing the way these plastics are recycled at various collection locations and by picking these up in their EV Vans at local business. These plastics are then downcycled into a products such as decking and asphalt. (Plastic-Beach.com)
