The American Chemistry Council’s Plastics Division is accepting nominations for its 2014 Awards for Innovation in Plastics Recycling. The event recognizes North American companies, individuals and government bodies for developing new technologies, products and initiatives using postconsumer recycled plastics.
Deadline for submissions is Oct. 21, 2014.
“Every day innovative companies are finding new ways to divert used plastics from the waste stream, and, in the process are creating sustainable new products that contribute to everyday life,” says Steve Russell, vice president of plastics for the ACC, Washington. “We’re proud to annually honor successful plastic recyclers—and companies finding innovative ways to use recycled plastics—for their initiative and innovative spirit. Their efforts show consumers that recycling makes a difference, creates jobs and supports the economy.”
Last year’s recipients included DiversiTech Corp., Entropex and Preserve.
