Big picture. Big purpose. 💡
This view inside the Alterra facility offers a glimpse of where hard-to-recycle plastics begin their journey through our advanced recycling process. Every load of feedstock is another opportunity to recover value from materials that can't be recycled through conventional methods. ♻️
Every step in our process has a purpose. ♻️
Inside the reactor, hard-to-recycle plastics are converted into valuable hydrocarbon vapors that move through the next phase of our advanced recycling process. At the same time, remaining solid materials are continuously separated, maximizing the value of the incoming feedstock.
Stay tuned as we walk through each step of the Alterra process.

What is feedstock? 🤔
Feedstock is the raw material used to create something new. At Alterra, our feedstock consists of hard-to-recycle plastics that are transformed into valuable resources through advanced recycling—helping reduce waste and keep materials in use longer.
Every piece has the potential for a second life.

Industrial facilities aren't all the same.
When people hear the word "industrial," it's easy to make assumptions. At Alterra, we're committed to transparency and helping our community better understand how our facility operates, the standards we meet, and the measures we take to operate responsibly.

Another successful year with the Akron Marathon! 👟♻️
We were excited to partner with the Akron Marathon once again to help collect hard-to-recycle plastics and give them a second life.
Thanks to everyone who participated, we collected 27 pounds of hard-to-recycle plastics during this year's event. Every pound collected is a step toward keeping more plastic out of landfills and advancing a more circular future.
