TINTON FALLS, NJ, March 16, 2020 – Mazza Recycling has begun construction of phase one of their pledge to invest 15 million dollars into single stream recycling. Our state-of-the-art system will be the first complete positive sorting design on the east coast and is set to open in the summer of 2020. Mazza Recycling believes that it is our ethical and corporate responsibility as a recycling facility to educate local communities on how to recycle, and spread our knowledge to local schools and organizations, in order to sow the seeds for future generations.
In an effort to eliminate waste and decrease the need for eradicating Earth’s natural resources, Mazza has invested in a sorting plant that uses sizing and optical technology to recycle more materials from the stream, and produce quality products that will have consistent movement in an increasingly restrictive global market. By increasing the rate of recycling paper and cardboard, this plant will reduce the need to harvest trees. By increasing the amount of plastics recycled, this system will reduce the need to use up our planet’s remaining natural oil. By investing in this design, Mazza seeks to not only preserve natural resources, but also to extend the lifecycle of plastics, paper, cardboard, and metal containers, in a world undergoing an environmental crisis. In addition to promoting sustainability and creating a circular economy, this capital investment will create jobs in our local community inside of this 70,000 square foot Material Recovery Facility.
“Consumers, producers, packers, and manufacturers all have a responsibility to our planet and future generations. If people are misinformed about the proper ways to recycle, then our goal to eliminate waste will not make as large of an impact. We believe that it is important to educate the youth on the importance of recycling and the proper items that can be recycled. By investing in this plant and speaking about it in schools and at local community events, we hope to increase awareness about recycling to people who are not handling their recyclable materials properly,” says Christian Morgan, Material Recovery Facility Plant Manager.
