Largest Plastics Recycling Facility in the World - Enter Site Zero

Once built, Site Zero will be the largest plastics recycling plant in the world, able to process 200,000 Metric Tons yearly.  

This site will elevate their ability to sort from 4 types of plastics to 12 different plastic materials.  They envision being able to recycle 95% of the waste plastics (up from only 47%).
