Plastics recycling group adds partner
Cyclyx International, a consortium-based supply chain innovation company, has welcomed Suncast, a manufacturer of high-quality resin products made in the U.S.A., to its consortium.
“Suncast’s focus on sustainability and enthusiasm for advancing circular solutions will help us to direct more plastic waste toward its best use and will be a great bolster to our effort to help drive the recycling rate of plastic from 10% to 90%,” said Joe Vaillancourt, CEO of Cyclyx.
Suncast said its membership in Cyclyx gives it access to design and implement customized takeback programs and innovations. These include plastic waste-based circular feedstock specifications tailored to its specific product pathways, allowing for the inclusion of higher amounts of recycled content in its products.
“Zero waste and recycled content are key components of our Brilliant by Design™ sustainability platform,” said Jim Ahlborn, CEO of Suncast. “Cyclyx is doing the difficult work of diverting plastics from landfills to use as feedstocks in advanced recycling so that companies like ours can use recycled content in our products.
“By working with Cyclyx and our retail partners, we’ll be able to implement first-of-their-kind takeback programs so fewer products end up in landfills at the end of their useful lives, and we’ll collaborate with companies that can help us source even more recycled content for our products,” said Ahlborn.
Cyclyx International, LLC., based in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, is a post-use plastic feedstock supply chain innovator working with industry participants to develop innovative recycling solutions for all types of post-use plastics.
Suncast Corporation, based in Batavia, Illinois, is a privately held designer, manufacturer, and distributor of consumer and commercial products for the home and industrial markets.
