Republic Services termed the new facility as the first such integrated plastic recycling facility in the entire nation. It will help to address the rising demand for recycled plastic from consumers as well as packaging manufacturers.

The production of high quality recycled plastics will help customers achieve their ambitious recycled content targets.
