Cyclyx International, Portsmouth, New Hampshire, a consortium-based feedstock management company with a mission to help increase the recycling rate of postuse plastic from 10 percent to 90 percent, has announced that North American Plastics (NAP), a family of leading brands in plastics distribution, has become a member of the Cyclyx consortium.
As a member of the consortium, Irving, Texas-based NAP joins a group of companies that are working to build a more sustainable future for plastics. Member companies have access to Cyclyx’s services that provide plastic users throughout the value-chain with third-party audited, circular end-of-life pathways for their products through chemical characterization of plastics and predictive modeling of feedstock sources to product pathways, custom feedstock recipes and customized supply chains.
“Working together with Cyclyx allows NAP to further its already industry-leading recycling initiatives,” Tim Bolton, vice president of sales at NAP, says. “We could not be happier to be a partner within this consortium. We look forward to being stewards for both our customers and suppliers with the goal of enhanced repurposement of resin-based substrates.”
“We’re thrilled to have North American Plastics as a Cyclyx member,” Joe Vaillancourt, CEO of Cyclyx, states. “Their collection of brands represent the largest geographic footprint of plastics distribution in the plastics industry today which can be leveraged to increase global plastic recycling. North American Plastics’ membership exemplifies the vital collaborations required to drive postuse plastic recycling from 10 percent to 90 percent.”
