Plastic Crate Recycler Expands Plant

RPP Containers, Cincinnati, has completed what it calls a major facility expansion and upgrade. In a news release, the company, a private-label manufacturer, distributor and recycler of reusable plastic bulk containers, says its expanded plant “will offer recycling customers lower costs, faster turn-around, and overall improved customer service.”

“One of the reasons we expanded our bulk container recycling operation is because we see a growing supply of worn out collapsible bulk containers and a growing need for high quality plastic regrind,” says Scott DeNoma, the co-founder and CEO of RPP Containers. “We invested heavily into this new facility so that we could meet our recycling customers' demands for low cost toll grinding, high quality regrind, and very fast turn-around.”

DeNoma says the expanded facility underscores RPP Containers’ commitment to environmental sustainability. “We’ve made the financial investment to promote sustainability as a primary corporate strategy,” says the CEO. “At the same time, we want to work with other companies to help them meet their sustainability objectives. We do this by processing end-users’ worn-out bulk containers, recycling them, and keeping them out of the landfill. After recycling, we put the resulting plastic regrind back into the raw material supply chain to be manufactured into brand new products.”

The overall process, says DeNoma, makes RPP Containers a “cradle-to-cradle” plastic crate sales and recycling operation.
