New Madrid, MO to Welcome Chemical Recycling Facility

SEATTLE (Waste Advantage): The New Madrid City Council approved one ordinance paving the way for the opening of a new industry, while approval of two additional ordinances sets the stage for future industrial growth. Land along Route U, which is part of the city’s industrial park, was rezoned from agricultural to heavy manufacturing.

According to city administrator Richard McGill, the zoning change allows for Circular SynTech LLC to begin development of its first commercial waste-to-renewable-chemicals production facility at the proposed site. “The company approached the city in late May and we immediately saw this as a perfect fit,” McGill said. “It is the kind of company that, moving forward, will be important for the environment and how things will be done on the state level and the national level by industries.”

McGill described CST as a leader in recycling of waste materials. He said the company would be transformational not only for New Madrid but all of Southeast Missouri. “No one is doing (recycling) the way this company is able to do it. It is really exciting how this could change the waste industry. A lot of different industries could be changed by this,” he said.
