We’re imagining a brighter future in Thomaston.

Once complete, our flagship 2.5 million-square-foot circularity center in Thomaston will use a state-of-the-art proprietary Plastics Renewal® process to recycle various plastics, including difficult-to-recycle plastics. Our solution turns plastic waste into the building blocks to make new, circular products.

We plan to make a $950MM investment across Thomaston and Upson County, directly benefiting both economies—demonstrating that this region is the perfect place to invest, grow, and prosper.

COMMUNITY INVESTMENT
