Here in Alaska, where there is a lack of recycling infrastructure, we backhaul cardboard, plastics, and hazardous waste for proper recycling and disposal in the continental U.S. In 2025 alone, Matson backhauled ~330 containers for proper recycling and disposal.
We also supported Kodiak's new ocean plastic recycling facility by providing in-kind shipping services through our partnership with Ocean Plastic Recovery and the University of Alaska, helping turn marine debris into new opportunities.
