Plastic recycler CarbonLITE has engaged C1S Group as the primary contractor for the construction of its new North Texas recycling facility.
C1S Group, a professional engineering and construction firm based in Dallas, Texas has begun the process to convert the facility located on Mountain Creek Parkway in southwest Dallas into a leading edge recycling center.
To prepare the facility for CarbonLITE’s recycling operations, C1S is providing new electrical services, adding storage silos and increasing the height on a 5,500 sq.ft. section of the 230,000 sq.ft. building.
Construction is expected to be completed by early summer 2017. CarbonLITE, one of the world’s largest producers of food grade post-consumer recycled plastic, will use the building to manufacture new polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resin flakes and pellets created from old plastic bottles. At its similar California bottle-to-bottle recycling plant, CarbonLITE processes more than two billion post-consumer plastic bottles annually.
