New Plastics Facility Opens in Florida

Noble Recycling Inc. has opened a 20,000-sqaure foot facility in West Pompano Beach, Fla., with the intention of aggregating plastic scrap collected by smaller recyclers throughout the state.

In a news release, the company’s CEO says the company’s goal is to assist in the recycling and consolidation of plastic scrap from local and statewide vendors. “Noble, in conjunction with Allied Van lines, has the capability to pick up small batches of material throughout the State of Florida,” the news release states.

The company sees itself filling a niche for small plastic processors throughout the state of Florida, who do not have outlets other than waste haulers for some of their recyclable materials.

“Currently, small processors that don’t have the room or patience to recycle their scrap plastics simply don’t,” says Joseph Miceli, CEO of Noble Recycling Inc. “Essentially, what that means is that millions of pounds of recyclable plastic is never given the chance to be recycled and ultimately it is our environment that suffers. Our partnership with a major trucking company allows us the flexibility to hopefully reverse this trend of throwing away plastic that is 100 percent recyclable,” he adds.

Noble Recycling Inc. is a recycler and exporter of plastic, metal and paper scrap as well as some electronic scrap. The company is based in Boca Raton, Fla., and exports approximately 4,000 metric tons per month of plastic.
