According to TB&P, the company expects to move locations from Florida to Arkansas early this year. Sortworthy reportedly has not yet chosen a location for its new recycling facility, but says it is looking for a site in the Bentonville area.
A Sortworthy spokesperson told TB&P that the company is considering sites between 60,000 and 90,000 square feet.
Sortworthy’s services include textile shredding, converting used textiles into insulation materials and fiber-to-fiber recycling.
