  • Landfill-free solution to our post-use plastic problem

    IRG is dedicated to keeping plastic out of landfills by finding the most sustainable use for every grade of plastic and making sure nothing goes to waste.

  • Automated sorting using near-infrared technology for maximized efficiency

    The plastic we collect will be rapidly sorted for best and highest use at an unprecedented scale and level of precision, bringing us closer than ever to our goal of a closed circle economy for plastic.

  • All-Plastics model eliminates home-sorting and rejected material

    SuperPRF™ will be able to accept ALL types of plastic—not just bottles. Thus, “single streaming”, or combining all plastics into a recycling bin or cart for pickup, will now become a reality.

 
 

Finding value in every pound of post-use plastic

Our primary raw material is plastic scrap. We mine for all valuable recyclable plastic that can be returned to the circular economy to produce new products. After removing and processing the valuable and recyclable material, the remainder is engineered into a tightly controlled specification for our steel industry customers.

With this model, 100% of the world's post-consumer plastics will have a re-use either as recycled content in finished products where practicable, or as an iron reducing agent in steel production.
