MVR cuts ribbon on new recycled plastic resin manufacturing site

Recycled plastics resin manufacturer MVR (Boca Raton, FL) cut the ribbon on its new $9.2 million investment production plant in Frankfort, KY, with an assist from Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear and Frankfort Mayor Gippy Graham. The plant, which will collect and process scrap plastics, converting it into new, saleable pellets, will create 360 jobs and have an annual capacity of around 90 million lb.

The operation joins MVR sites in Florida, as well as Morristown, TN. In June, MVR was granted non-alcoholic food-contact clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the use of its recycled polypropylene (PP) and polystyrene (PS) resins in thermoformed or injection molded items. The Kentucky site is a former automotive manufacturing plant with 220,000 ft² of production space.

MVR's recycled plastic resin, which is 100% post consumer reclaim, is marketed under the Mobius brand name. The company offers low-density, high-density, and linear low-density polyethylene pellets, as well as polypropylene and polyethylene. —[email protected]
