Plastics Recycling
Our work is in sustainability and manufacturing process design and improvement. We work to minimize plastic post-industrial waste and to recycle what can’t be eliminated, creating valuable durable goods in a financially and ecologically sustainable manner. Our nationwide network of like-minded colleagues and companies helps us to solve difficult and persistent recycling challenges in a wide variety of industries.
