Working with the Thomaston community
to create a world without plastic waste.
Brightmark is building its flagship circularity center right here in the state of Georgia. Join us as we establish Thomaston as a center of environmental excellence and build a brighter, sustainable future together.
Plastic pollution. Plastic solution.
At Brightmark, we’re on a mission to Reimagine Waste. Our Plastics Renewal® technology can turn plastic waste into new, circular products—diverting it from landfills, incinerators, and the environment.
You’ve got questions. We’ve got answers.
How does our technology work? What are the benefits? We’ve developed a comprehensive list of answers to address various questions from the Thomaston community. Explore our FAQs page to learn more.
“We are delighted that Brightmark reached out to our community to locate their new circularity center and employ 200 of our citizens. We are so honored that our extraordinary community appealed to their organization’s vision. After over a year of due diligence, which included visiting their Indiana center, the IDA entered an agreement to facilitate the first part of an investment in our community. We are excited about other future industries that have shown interest in Thomaston and Upson County since the Brightmark announcement.”
