P.E.T. & Plastics Recovery - Photographic Film Recycling
A world leader in recovery and refinement of silver and polyester-bearing material for the photographic industry, Gemark is a viable option to reduce business expenses.
Through our high-technology polyethylene terephthalate (PET) recycling center, Gemark Service Corporation provides clients with a high-quality recycling service in an environmentally friendly manner.
Our proprietary washing process removes coatings and impurities from film allowing the film to be recycled into a new product. This allows the original manufacturer to use the recycled material, to increase profits and reduce expenses.
To meet the silver and polyester recovery and recycling demand we continue to develop proprietary, efficient and advanced systems to recover and recycle silver and polyester.
Our Exeter, Pennsylvania facility specializes in:
Polyester recovery, including polyethylene terephthalate (PET), acetate and processing of polyester films for major manufacturers on a toll agreement
Silver-bearing materials including emulsions, cartridges, canisters, filter and cores, resins and sludge
Silver-bearing film such as lithographics (virgin, exposed and news), X-ray (medical, jacketed and industrial), dry view, microfilm, acetate, electrolytic-based film and silver flake.

3M Transparency Film Recycling Program
Overhead transparencies make a colorful, persuasive impact on your presentations. But when you throw transparencies away after the show's over, they make their greatest impact-on the environment. That's why 3M has an easy way for you to recycle them. Gemark and 3M work together in recycling these materials. To learn more about the program and to print out a shipping label click here.
