This Portland business collects plastic cannabis containers from around the state and turns them into baby pots and more. P3 Distributing, located in Portland, near Milwaukee, is Oregon’s most well-known and extensive cannabis packaging recycling system. Owner Patrick Caldwell started the program in hopes of reducing the production of plastic by the cannabis industry.

In 2015, P3 Distributing, formerly Pat’s Pot Packaging, began selling what it now recycles: plastic packaging. Caldwell quickly realized the enormous amount of plastic being distributed.
