LEED Certified Recycling Center Underway
Advanced Environmental Recycling Technologies, Inc. (AERT) recently began construction on a new, LEED certified plastic recycling facility in Watts, Okla., according to TradingMarkets.com.
The 60-acre site will house a 70,000 square foot state-of-the-art polyethylene film and packaging waste recycling facility, set to be operational by the end of the first quarter of 2009. According to Tim Morrison, AERT president, “the plant will wash, clean and separate polyethylene materials such as polyethylene food packaging and wrapping films,” which will then be recycled used as raw materials for recycling.
AERT is a leading plastics recycler and manufacturer of wood composite building materials, such as outdoor decks, fence systems and door and window components. The company also operates manufacturing facilities in Springdale and Lowell, Ark., as well as a raw materials facility in Junction, Texas.
