Perpetual Recycling Solutions has hired Phil Cavin as its senior director of purchasing. He will be responsible for all raw materials purchasing at the company’s new, food-grade recycled PET recycling facility in Richmond, Ind. The facility is expected to begin operations by the end of 2012.
"We are fortunate to have Phil Cavin lead our procurement efforts. His deep industry experience and knowledge of material recovery facilities will ensure our plant has the raw materials required," says David Bender, Perpetual Recycling Solutions’ CEO.
Cavin previously was a sales consultant for Plastrec Inc., a Quebec-based plastics recycling company. He also held the post of national procurement director and PET sales director for Mohawk Industries in Summerville, Ga., where he was responsible for procuring more than 200 million pounds per year of PET bottles and flake.
When fully operational, Perpetual Recycling Solutions’ facility is expected to produce more than 110,000 pounds of FDA recycled PET flake per year.
