Inspired by Oregon's progressive environmentalism and high-wind windsurfing, John eventually made the cross-country trek West. He worked as a manufacturing engineer for companies like Freightliner, Boeing, Tektronix and Epson, witnessing firsthand the production of tons of plastic parts and foam packing materials destined to be tossed out at the end of their life. Looking for a way to reduce costs to keep manufacturing and jobs in the U.S., John perfected a process to remanufacture the plastic and foam into new, UL-certified plastic.
Started in 2001, PC Plastics today employs more than 15 people in its 12,000 square foot plant. We recycle 50 tons of plastic and foam into 50 tons of new, high-quality plastic every month. That's 600 tons of plastic and foam saved from the landfills and burn piles every year. And our volumes continue to grow.
We owe much of our success to a growing list of people and companies who have supported us, given us a break and believed in us from the get-go:
