Again Technologies LLC, a leading plastics recycler and carbon solutions provider, announced the launch of WireCycle LLC, its first Biomimicry recycling facility. This is a major milestone in Again鈥檚 mission to monetize plastic waste streams and create circular and carbon reduction solutions to benefit the environment and economy.
WireCycle focuses on recycling wire and cable residuals discarded after metals are recovered. The facility鈥檚 innovative process recovers polyethylene (PE) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC), the most dominant polymers found in these residuals. With less than 1% of post-consumer PVC currently recycled in North America, WireCycle is poised to address this critical waste stream.
鈥楾hrough WireCycle, this move reaSirms our commitment to driving innovation and sustainability in plastics recycling,鈥� said Again Technologies founder and CEO Claudine Osipow. 鈥楤y rethinking waste streams and investing in cutting-edge solutions, we are transforming how our industry manages, reuses and monetizes the increasing amount of plastic waste that would otherwise end up in landfills.鈥�
WireCycle鈥檚 operation is guided by Again鈥檚 scalable Biomimicry Model 鈥� the practice that draws on nature’s strategies to create simple and repeatable solutions to human challenges. WireCycle applies this principle by focusing on patterned collection and feedstock consistency, ensuring the production of macropolymers pure enough to re-enter mechanical and advanced recycling, as well as finished products.
The modular design of WireCycle鈥檚 facility allows for an impactful cadence to tackle critical waste streams locally while maintaining the required high standards of recycling and material recovery.
