Houston Firm Delivers Notable Push to Paper, Plastic Scrap Recycling

SEATTLE (Scrap Monster): The Houston-based Continuus Material Recovery has announced development of a new technology to recycle mixed paper and plastics to produce building panels. The announcement comes at a time when recyclers are facing a tough time to market their products, further to China’s import restrictions. The announcement paves the way for developing a domestic end use for recycled mixed paper and plastic.

To further scale up the process, the company recently purchased ReWall Company in Des Moines, Iowa, which is renowned for producing green building products out of food and beverage cartons. The company’s unique recycling process treats entire multi-layer carton materials into construction boards, thereby preventing millions of tons of waste from ending up in landfills.

According to Carl Rush, CEO, Continuus Material Recovery, the dedicated efforts over the past one year has helped the company develop the new technique of recycling paper-plastics mix into 4 foot by 8 foot construction boards, which are widely used in roofs and walls of commercial buildings. The ‘Everboard’ range of boards are resistant to fire, hail, wind and moisture, Rush noted.

In fact, the company acquired ReWall in mid-June this year in order to create manufacturing capabilities for Everboard. The acquired facility is capable of producing approximately up to 12 million square feet of board per year. Meantime, Continuus has started design and engineering for a larger processing facility, capable of pressing 150,000 tons per annum of paper and plastics. The facility is expected to come online within a year, which in turn will create new value network in construction building materials.
