Nextlife Adds Plastics Processing Line

The plastics recycling company Nextlife, headquartered in Boca Raton, Fla., has opened its newest processing line in Frankfort, Ky. The company says the goal is to meet both its present and future recycling needs. The new processing line is expected to add another 15 million pounds of production capacity for Nextlife.
 

The company adds the new capacity is expected to serve a broad spectrum of plastic recycling markets. Nextlife says the company’s film-to-film processing line will allow it to accommodate its customer needs, including finding markets for film and rigid plastic waste. 
 

“Our ultimate goal is to continue expanding the plastic waste we process, converting plastic waste typically destined for landfill into consumer products and packaging applications, including film-to-film applications,” Ron Whaley, Nextlife CEO, says. 
 

“As part of our strategic growth strategy we plan on producing the cleanest post-consumer resins globally utilizing our newest technology. This additional capacity allows Nextlife to process more material creating additional demand for plastic waste. Nextlife is thrilled with our new proprietary film processing line,” Robert Dishman, Nextlife executive vice president of supply chain, says.
