Recent Developments

 

• In January 2024, Republic Services, Inc. announced the opening of a new Salt River recycling center. The new facility will play a vital role in improving recycling rates in the Valley as it has more modern technology and higher capacity than its predecessor. It is a 51,000-square-foot recycling center in the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community, designed to manage recyclables from approximately 1.4 million residents and over 2,000 businesses. The facility can process up to 40 tons of recyclables or eight truckloads per hour. This includes cardboard, paper, jugs, plastic bottles, metal food and beverage cans, and glass bottles and jars.

 

• In September 2023, WM has recently announced the opening of a new recycling facility in Cleveland, spanning over a vast area of 100,000 square feet. The facility is anticipated to process nearly 420 tons of recyclable materials daily. This project is part of WM's previously declared enterprise-wide initiative to invest over USD 1 billion in recycling infrastructure, which includes around 40 automated or planned new recycling facilities. The new facilities are expected to add 2.8 million incremental tons managed by 2026.


• In April 2023, Biffa announced the acquisition of North Yorkshire based Esterpet Ltd, a recycler of Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) plastic. Esterpet converts 25,000 tons of plastic flakes each year, generated from recycled bottles, into high-purity plastic pellets. This latest acquisition builds on Biffa’s existing strong capabilities in closed-loop food grade plastic recycling, including its plants in Seaham, Redcar and Washington where it already converts over 165,000 tons of plastic each year into high quality recycled polymers.
