USPR covered in Spring, 2018 Plastics Recycling Update magazine

USPR invests $1MM in its new Lawrenceville, Georgia location.

US Plastics Recovery had industry magazine coverage of its recent strategic expansion in the Spring, 2018 edition of Plastics Recycling Update. The “Reclaimer in Focus” article described USPR’s new facility located in Lawrenceville, Georgia and the company’s investments in equipment and information systems. Over $1MM will be invested in this new location by the end of 2018. The resulting facility configuration will triple capacity over the previous facility.

US Plastics Recovery moved into its 70,000 square foot facility at the beginning of 2018 and immediately added new capacity. The company installed a 62″ Vecoplan high-production plastics shredder and a 52″ Vecoplan machine dedicated to medical device destruction. USPR is increasing its screening and flotation capacity with the addition of two more production lines in the third quarter of 2018. The comprehensive and proprietary IT systems implemented at the last plant gave the company real-time data visibility on production, inventory, sales, margin yield, scheduling, and other critical aspects of the business.

The company is now in possession of significant competitive advantages in the areas of information, cost, throughput, and quality. The capacity addition piles volume on top of the fully operational information systems and quality processes.

USPR triples plastics recycling shredding capacity

USPR installs 70″ HiTorc Vecoplan plastics shredder as part of its 2018 strategic capacity expansion plan.

US Plastics Recovery is tripling its plastics recycling shredding capacity with the addition of a Vecoplan 70 HiTorc 250 HP shredder. In a statement on the startup of the machine, chief trading officer Steve Hogan said:

“I am very pleased to see this large shredder in place at the facility. USPR is experiencing increasing demand for industrial plastics recycling. This machine will result in quicker job turn-around and allow us to bring in waiting prospective clients. It brings us to the next step in our plan to triple total company capacity by year-end when a second float/wash machine goes on-line. Our customers are able to use our product at higher proportions than are typical for recycled plastics. Our customers reduce their materials costs by using recycled product rather than virgin resin. We have seen customers use our products at even 100%.”

USPR moves to larger facility

USPR has implemented SCADA/MES/IMS.

US Plastics Recovery has completed its move into its third progressively larger facility, located in the City of Lawrenceville, Georgia.  The facility, located in Lawrenceville’s heavy industrial district, will have three times the capacity of the previous facility in place by the end of 2018.

In a statement on the completion of the move, President Daniel Nolan said:

“I am pleased to announce that we have successfully completed a move into a much larger facility. This latest facility is fully operational. It has more space, more electricity, more machinery, and more logistical capacity.  The facility will increase its capacity in steps throughout 2018 until it is triple that of the prior facility. Total invested capital in this expansion exceeds $1 million. It was well worth the cost, considering that this facility soon will be diverting over 50 million pounds per year of industrial polymer scrap from the nation’s landfills into high-quality consumer products.”
