Today, more than any other time in history, companies are aware of their impact on the environment and actually doing something about it. Unfortunately, while intentions are good, these programs have made little impact on the amount of waste that finds its way to our solid waste stream. Plastics for example represented 1% of our landfill waste in 1960 and 11% by 2000. Only 11% of all plastic is recycled, sending 25 million tons to our landfills. Discarded carpet represents over 3% of our landfills’ total capacity while construction debris in total generates 155 lbs per square foot.
It’s safe to say that no company would intentionally harm our environment given the opportunity to act responsibly if recycling opportunities were more convenient and cost effective.
The strength of Vortex Composites™ is our ability to intercept your own plastic and nylon carpet waste, and by simply diverting it to become our raw material feedstock, we are able to produce high quality products specifically for your own use.
Your company for the first time in history can create its own closed-loop recycling program that allows you to recycle your own plastics and nylon carpet, then use the same recycled material in quality products you use everyday and many times at less then competitive products.
We offer a variety of standard products already designed and tested. As you explore our web site you will find many examples of standard products now in use. In addition to these standard products, we assist companies by using their waste to create new products they use themselves.
Our actual “products” is the patented processes that allow our partners to produce products that satisfy customer’s specific requirements. In other words, every company has different needs and potential uses for plastic or nylon based products. The strength of our program is our ability to match our manufacturing capabilities with your needs.
1. Dispose your plastic and carpet waste through your existing waste management program and purchase our recycled-content products. These products can be selected from our standard product offering, or developed specifically for your use.
Your company improves its sustainability initiative by purchasing more recycled-content products.
2. Contribute directly to our raw material waste stream by using Vortex Composites™ to manage your recycling program. This allows your company to participate at the highest possible level by purchasing products made from your own waste.
