PORTSMOUTH, New Hampshire, USA, May 21, 2021 – Cyclyx International, a consortium-based feedstock management company with a mission to help increase the recycling rate of post-use plastic from 10% to 90%, announced today that North American Plastics, a family of leading brands in plastics distribution, has become a member of the Cyclyx consortium.
As a member of the consortium, North American Plastics joins an impressive group of companies that are leading the way in building a more sustainable future for plastics.
