Missouri Market Development Program
The Hitachi Energy Jefferson City HSE team has just been awarded the GLOBAL Hitachi Leadership Award for an innovative solution to ensure their facility maintains their ‘Zero Waste to Landfill’ commitment.
Partnering with J. Carter Enterprises, LLC and the Missouri Market Development Program (MMDP) under the Environmental Improvement and Energy Resources Authority (EIERA) to address an overage of a new type of plastic spools they needed to recycle responsibly, MMDP provided funding for a granulating machine to chip up the spools into smaller plastic flakes, which is ultimately made into PVC pipe.
Since July, J. Carter Enterprises has processed over 500,000 pounds of plastic through this granulator. J. Carter Enterprises hopes to accept plastic from other lead/regional sources to further divert recovered plastics and create additional marketable feedstocks.
