📰 News we're reading
• Domestic e-plastics recovery picks up pace (resource-recycling.com) — A new Fukutomi Recycling facility in Montezuma is part of a growing U.S. push to process electronic plastics domestically instead of shipping them overseas. The plant focuses on turning common electronics plastics into high-quality recycled resin for global manufacturers, while navigating international rules like the Basel Convention and balancing U.S. labor costs with long-term supply chain stability.
