Again Technologies’ focus is on building out a network of simple, replicable recycling facilities to collect consistent plastic streams pre-landfill. This process creates the required formulated feedstocks necessary for both mechanical and advanced recycling, while maintaining mass balances for certification. The three main pillars of Again Tech’s WHY are: SIMPLE (Predictable patterned collection), CADENCE (Replicable turn-key process), and VALUE (Profitable & sustainable conversions). Strategic partnerships are critical to Again Tech’s successful value solution and its partnership with BNSF has resulted in 1,200+ truckloads from over the road traffic to rail via intermodal across various lanes.
