Nexus, Wood partner to expand recycling operation
Waste management company Nexus has partnered with global engineering firm Wood to expand its business to meet demand. Nexus has received International Sustainability and Carbon-Plus Certification for its technology that converts plastic waste into feedstocks that can then be converted into virgin recycled-content plastics.
Wood will assist Nexus to expand its Atlanta production plant, which has been able to employ the technology at commercial scale. Nexus will partner with Wood and other global engineering, procurement, fabrication and construction firms to better position the company’s development.
Jeff Gold, Founder and CEO of Atlanta-based Nexus, said: “Our accelerated plan and strategic relationships with firms like Wood will allow Nexus to advance current production rates to 5,000 tons of recycled feedstock per day, supporting the reuse of over 5 million tons of plastic waste annually with an estimated annual savings of 30 million tons of CO2 emissions when compared with incineration.”
With global headquarters in Aberdeen, Scotland, and other offices, including one in Alpharetta, Ga., Wood is a global consulting and engineering firm.
