Plasticon Inks Long-Term Contract

Plasticon International Inc. announced that the company has contracted with five new sources of recycled plastic resins. The new resin supply would provide enough recycled plastic resins to fulfill Plasticon's projected orders for the next 10 years.

"The sheer abundance of recycled plastic is one of the most attractive qualities of our sector," said Jim Turek, president and CEO of Plasticon International. "With five new sources of resins, which allow us to fulfill our orders over the next decade, we can now focus more on our sales and marketing efforts. We can also assure our distributor, which is the largest building materials distribution company in the United States, that we have enough raw materials to fulfill all of their orders."

Turek noted that the increase in recycled plastic resins was mainly due to recycled plastic from landfills. "Our suppliers are now looking at the plastic in landfills as a major source of resin. "

Plasticon, headquartered in Lexington, KY, designs, produces, and distributes concrete accessories, transportation signage, plastic lumber, and office supplies which are all produced from recycled and recyclable plastics.
