It’s always nice to read that even with a reduction of recycled materials in the commercial sector due to the virus, new recycling facilities are coming on line. These are to handle more products from back-of-house commercial and industrial settings. From a recent Resource Recycling newsletter, we learn of such a new 64,000-square-foot facility in Green Bay, Wis.
It is this company’s eighth such facility. Via trailer-loads, they take recycled materials brought in exclusively from industrial and commercial clients. These materials include clean streams of OCC, plastics, some metals, etc.
The materials come from several different companies. For example, from the food industry operations, they get items from their processors, distributors, and packagers. Among others, they also get materials from the printing and writing industries.
