City bets big on Custom Polymers
The Athens, Alabama City Council has voted in favor of investing $1.3 million to triple the bottle washing capacity of Custom Polymers’ local plastics recycling plant. The expansion will add 40 permanent jobs — by January of 2011 — and bring total wash capacity to 150 million pounds, resulting in the production of 70 million pounds of recycled PET flake and 30 million pounds of recycled food-grade PET pellets for sale annually.
The company will provide $1 million in matching funds and will also repay the City of Athens’ contribution over the next five years. The expansion will add a fourth building to the site, which already boasts 200,000 square feet of facility and warehouse space.
