A groundbreaking ceremony was held today in Buckeye, Arizona, marking the beginning of a new era in sustainable packaging. Leaders from Blue Polymers, LLC, Republic Services (NYSE: RSG), and the City of Buckeye gathered to celebrate the construction of Blue Polymers’ latest innovative recycled plastics production facility. This facility, which is expected to be operational in the second half of 2025, will play a critical role in supporting sustainable packaging manufacturing across the Western United States.
The new 162,000-square-foot facility is poised to create over 60 permanent jobs in the region, providing a significant boost to the local economy. These jobs will be highly skilled, offering opportunities for skilled professionals to contribute to a thriving sustainable packaging industry. The partnership between Blue Polymers, Republic Services, and the City of Buckeye represents a commitment to environmental responsibility and economic growth.
This project highlights the growing demand for sustainable packaging solutions. As consumers become more conscious of their environmental impact, the demand for recycled and sustainable materials is on the rise. Blue Polymers’ new facility is a direct response to this demand, providing a critical source of recycled plastics for manufacturers seeking to reduce their environmental footprint.
